The Mouse does it again

I have a confession to make ...odds are pretty good that if it was made by Disney, then I'm probably going to<b> love </font></b>it. Same goes with Pixar ...the list of animated movies that I LOVE is a whole lot longer than the ones I hate. Weird that a dude who loves Zombie, vampire, slasher, 50's sci-fi and bad b-movies would<b> love </font></b>what I guess I would call " stuff" but I guess since I never did the " thing" I have to like them twice as much or something.

Anyway, last night I went and saw "Into the Woods" with a friend and I absolutely loved it. I really didn't know it was going to be a musical, and I thought it was going to be a lot more driven by special effects ...so I had two surprises I guess. I dunno if it'll really go down as one of the "bigger" Disney movies or not, but it's probably my favorite in quite a few years (which says a little because I'm not a huge fan of musicals); I really did like a lot of the central messages ...especially towards the end when they were trying to figure out whose fault it was and assigning blame. It had a few pretty profound messages hidden in all the goofiness! ...and there was goofiness galore (probably why I liked it so much); Chris Pine was hysterical, although I'm pretty sure the girl who played "Little Red Riding Hood" stole the show for the most part.

After the Disney movie I came home and plugged in the 1981 version of "The Evil Dead" (gotta offset the musical, yanno?!). I think I might have made it an hour before I started dozing ...I'll probably pick up where I left off in bed tonight and then start the new version again next. I had almost forgotten that Bruce Campbell was ever that young, but the original really was a pretty decent horror flick (although "Army of Darkness" still remains one of my favorite horror-comedy movies ever).

Off to hit the shower ...yet more plans today, so better get busy!

cheerzal!

 I've seen interviews and previews for that movie everywhere, I've been wondering whether I should take a chance and go see it.

I really enjoyed it ...there were a few aspects about the lack of special effects that struck me as a little bit "familiar" and when I looked it up on IMDb I saw the reason why: it was based off a Broadway play! A big "OoooH!" moment (and another "wow" because that is really not my cup of tea either).
