A Movie That Makes Me Cry: Fox and the Hound

“Forever is a long long time and time has a way of changing things”

First of all this movie is about a friendship that wasn't destined to last. The "best of friends" song makes me tear up and the worst is when the older woman says goodbye to the fox in the woods. I think it makes me cry because I thought about my dog Fudge and leaving him behind or something. Animals do me in--it's true. The only movies I've ever really cried about are movies with animals (Marley and Me, Seabiscuit, etc.). If for some reason you want a good cry--grab some Ben & Jerry's, a lot of tissues, and a blanket to hold onto because this movie will have you tearing up.

A Movie That Makes Me Laugh: Wreck It Ralph

This movie is witty, the part that I will always laugh at is when the guards start singing "ORE-O EOOOOOOO." Also Ralph and Vanellope call each other the names like "poop head" etc. which is entertaining and even a bit endearing. Another part that makes me laugh is the relationship between Felix and Sergeant Calhoun--especially the part where they're sinking in quicksand and the "laffy taffy" saves them. Loved Wreck it Ralph!

Update 4/13

Well, hi guys! I haven't had a personal post in a while because I've been really busy with school and such. April is such a crummy month and I have so much work to do this weekend, but I thought I would take a break and post an update!

Firstly-yesterday was exactly four months until my DCP! I'm so excited because I already have some awesome roommates, and let's just say it's going to be the most fun experience. 

Secondly-Remember a while back I posted something about having to do many things for my college in order to participate in the DCP? Well I have accomplished all! Well sort of. Basically I was waiting to get a professor to sponsor my internship/do an independent study with me and yesterday the professor I wanted to help me said yes! I still have to talk to the Dean of the school to actually see if they'll let me do an independent study while I'm in Florida, but I think that will go well because the English department is filled with a lot of nice people.

I am so excited about this because...IT MEANS I'M ACTUALLY GOING! WOOT! 

Now I just need to get past the next 5 weeks filled with tests, final papers, and far too much homework. Let's do this!! 

First and foremost I should probably go do my PR project because it's due Monday but before I go I want to post a picture from my one year anniversary with my boyfriend! We went to Coney Island and it was a bit cold and windy, but nevertheless it was so much fun :) I love you Jay!

In the next personal post I'll probably post a "bucket list" for my fall DCP 2013! Hope everyone has a nice weekend-or at least better than my homework filled one. Rafiki agrees with me with all the work this weekend:

Adios!!

Disney Challenge Day 22

An underrated movie: Atlantis, The Lost Empire

I recently re-watched this movie on Netflix and I realized how much I love it. The characters are great, I love Michael J. Fox, and the natives of Atlantis are dressed in such a cool way. I love the adventure of going to try and find Atlantis and then when they do find it,  it's magical. Also this movie is surprisingly funny. So if you have time in the next few days, you should definitely give it a watch!

P.s. I love the character below

An overrated movie: Cars

I love Cars, but making a third movie seems like a bit much. The second movie was just "okay," in my opinion, so why does there need to be a third one? The Cars craze is a bit out of hand because the originality of the movie isn't that great compared to movies such as Toy Story and Monsters Inc. I loved the new Cars section at Disney's California Adventure, but I'm just not a huge fan of the movies. I like them, don't get me wrong, I just don't see what the "big deal" is. Let's stop at Cars 2 and not make a movie about Planes which I heard was coming out. Like really? What's next? Motorcycles?

Disney Challenge: Day 20

My Favorite Disney Sequel: The Lion King 2, Simba's Pride

 

This movie surprised me with how much I liked it. I actually don't watch Disney sequels as a rule, but last year in my freshman year of college I thought, "why not try watching this one?" And guess what? It was awesome--the character Kovu is the best. My friends and I even joke around about how it's weird how we're all attractive to a cartoon character of a lion! But really--check this movie out if you have a free night, or if it's a rainy dull day outside.

Disney Challenge: Day 19

My Least Favorite Pixar Movie: WALL-E

Sorry, it had to be said. The entire movie is like Cast Away because WALL-E doesn't talk. Clearly he shows emotion, but the entire time I wanted him to speak! This movie also lacked a quality of comedy that all Pixar movies seem to have. Sorry WALL-E, you're cute, but I'm not a fan.
