Saving Mr. Banks

If you're a classic Disney fan, then this is a must see for you! Saving Mr. Banks is the story behind the making of Mary Poppins, which as practically everybody and their mom knows, is a beloved Disney film. I was quite surprised, because without knowing much about it, I agreed to go see it with my dad and his mom. It was lovely and funny. I was laughing for a good portion of the movie.

The movie runs at about 2 hours and yes, I guess you could say that makes it a long movie, but it wasn't too bad. I only questioned one time if the movie was close to ending and then sure enough, it was. Overall, I'd like to think this is a classic feel good movie. If this movie is playing in a theater near you, I would invest and go see it. 4 out of 5 stars from me! It was really a nice job done by all.

The Book Thief

Let's just make this short. I found this movie to be boring. Like it entertained me in the beginning and then slowly died off and I kept hoping it would end a lot sooner than it did. I just couldn't get into it. It didn't really feel like there was any true plot to it. The actors were great; they were just given a really crappy script. I can't even describe how unenthusiastic I was about this movie.

Maybe you just have to have a sincere appreciation for history and World War 2, which I lack, but blah. Even then though, you're sitting there thinking "Why am I watching this?" I would give this movie 1.5 out of 5 stars simply because the actors do a good enough job to keep you on the edge of conscious when you really just simply wanted to sleep. If you want to see this movie, I'd save your money and wait till it hits DVD.
