Excellent but very different from the book
1 July 2021
The movie is funny and entertaining, but for someone who has read the book it ends up being slightly disappointing. A lot of the best parts of the novel are omitted from the movie or are altered completely. The movie even tried to humanize Miranda more which fit the plot of the movie, but changes the whole purpose of the book. I also felt like the movie focused so much on the Paris storyline when it was only a couple of pages from the novel. I think it would've been better if they extended the storylines regarding the many impossible tasks Miranda asked from Andrea. Apart from that, the movie is still fun to watch and I did enjoy the new ending more.

And most important of all, we cannot ignore the amazing performances by the cast. Meryl Streep was the perfect choice and I can't imagine anyone else who could've pulled off this role. Anne Hathaway was also phenomenal, same goes for Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.

Bridesmaids (I) (2011)
9/10
Mrs. Iglesias and the cast are hilarious
29 June 2021
This is one of my all-time favorite comedies, I honestly can't believe that some people don't find it funny. The plane scene always makes me laugh and the same goes for when they're trying on dresses. I have watched this movie more times than I can count and I always enjoy it. Kristen Wiig was always great in SNL and here she doesn't disappoint, and the whole cast is also incredible. Melissa McCarthy and Maya Rudolph have great comedic timing, and even the underdog Rose Byrne is wonderful. If you're looking for a genuinely funny film, look no further.

Fever Pitch (2005)
7/10
Need to see more of this duo
29 June 2021
When I heard about a movie featuring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon, I was curious. Of course we all know they're two great comedians, but we had never actually seen them share the big screen. I was really happy to see that this pairing is perfect for this type of rom com. I've watched a lot of romantic comedies in my life, but this one still sticks out as one of the best. Whether it be the sweet but funny interactions between the two, or the fun storyline, it never fails to make me smile. It also helps that they really do have a lot of chemistry and so you're constantly rooting for them to end up together. If you love romance, comedy, or even baseball, I thoroughly recommend it.

Notting Hill (1999)
8/10
Funny and sweet
29 June 2021
I didn't really know what to expect when I first watched this movie, of course it has great actors like Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, but when I read the description I thought it might be very cliché. It does in fact have a lot of clichés but I think that just adds to the wonderfully sweet story. At the end of the day, it's just the typical movie about the poor guy falling in love with the rich girl, however little elements like the dinner with his family, the quirky roommate, etc. Help elevate the plot. I have watched it twice this month and I don't seem to get tired of it.

It wouldn't be Halloween without it
29 June 2021
I absolutely love this movie, I watch it every single Halloween and it never fails to disappoint. It tells a magical story about two witch sisters and their aunts navigating through loss and love. It also has a kind of dark and mysterious twist to it that makes it thoroughly entertaining. The cast is absolutely incredible, I mean, what else could you want in a film? I will never stop recommending it.

If you liked the first one, don't watch this one.
29 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed the first movie, yes it had some flaws, but overall I thought it was entertaining and the story was interesting. This film however, is the complete opposite. First of all, the main character is now the girl who keeps risking everyone's life and doing stupid thing after stupid thing. The whole plot about the weird humans in the dock was also pointless and it just left more questions unanswered. Same goes for the people on the island. Someone else said that it felt like the characters were fighting to see who could make dumber decisions and that was true. The ending is also very unsatisfying, but I hope there won't be a third one. Stick to watching the first one, I'll try my best to forget about this one.

Horrible movie! Super disappointing and not worth your time
27 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Horrible movie! I came in expecting to watch something similar to the original alien movie and was incredibly disappointed. First of all, the movie's main plot is not really about aliens, it's of the two robots that are constantly fighting, kissing, and playing the flute. Apart from that, everyone just dies and the aliens are practically just a small twist to the whole movie. I literally fell asleep watching it and I just could not wrap my mind around it. Such a waste of my time!

Moulin Rouge! (2001)
10/10
Favorite movie of all time!
27 May 2017
I normally do not like musicals, but the thing about this movie is that it doesn't only focus on the musical aspect of it, but it has romance, comedy, drama, and everything else you want in these kinds of movies. Nicole Kidman and Ewan Mcgreggor really embody their characters in such a way that you actually fall in love with them and their relationship since the beginning of the movie. There are no words to describe how Moulin Rouge is a true masterpiece and in my opinion, it is not given enough credit as it deserves. Making a musical is hard, but making a good story out of one is even harder and the story of this movie is really creative and there is nothing like it. I hope everyone watches it and enjoys it as much as I do!
