"Into The Woods" Review


Lydia and I had been wanting to see this movie ever since it came out, a very long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away a long while ago. The family finally watched it a few nights ago, but was a bit disappointed.

Please keep in mind, we bear no hard feelings to any of the cast or crew for making it.

The good:

The sets were amazing! The lighting was stupendous! The cast was perfect! The stories were all woven together excellently!

It was all relatively easy to follow, there were a few parts that took some pondering, but I think that everyone understood what happened in the movie.

Whoever edited the scenes was truly gifted in that department.

I did like that they referenced David and Goliath, by having Jack kill the giantess with a stone to the forehead.

The bad:

"Choose what's right for you."

Wait, what? Are you kidding me? No! That's like, a huge fallacy of some sort. I learned about it in Philosophy, but I can't remember exactly what it is called.

"I'm supposed to be charming, not sincere."

Charm is sincerity! Anyone who says any different is selling something.

Why did Cinderella keep going to the festival to dance with the prince if she would only run away from him in the end?

Why did the witch need the magic beans to live?

The ugly:

Ahem, SHOOT HIM!
Prince 'Charming' you are already married to Cinderella, why are you trying to have an affair with the baker's wife? And why isn't the baker's wife fighting?

When watching this part, I practically yelled at the tv screen, telling her to hit him. But she went along with him anyways. Grrr.

The scenes with the witch were almost funny, but she really wasn't very nice. And that scene where she dissipates into a puddle of goo was a bit anti climactic. She had just finished singing a very dramatic song, and then *boom* she's a puddle.

On a scale of one to ten, I'd give Into The Woods a six.

The Bookshelf Tag

Image
Ok, so a while ago  Mironiel Blokzyl  made a bookshelf tag, and tagged anyone who wanted to do it, so, naturally, I stole it  decided to do it. :) But, seeing as how I was on vacation when she posted it, and away from most of my precious books, I had to wait until I returned. Anyways, I'm positive the only rules are to answer the questions, and tag people. Let the tag commence! 1) How do you rearrange your bookshelf? There was a time when I didn't even have my own shelf, I shared with Lydia, so she did the organizing. Then, I got a huge tall bookshelf, that was rather wobbly. I thing I filled about half of it, and used the other half for desk storage, since I didn't (and still don't) have a desk. I moved rooms a couple of times, and now I have a different bookshelf (that is still huge). I had a faze where I wanted everything by series and height. Now it's just what looks nice and interesting. When I get more books, I may try to organize by color. 2)

Bang goes that theory. -_- Night before last, the heater ran all night, and I had the brilliant idea to accidentally sleep a large portion of the night with my mouth open. Fast-forward to 7:30 yesterday morning. I woke up with a sore throat. Determined to not let it get me down, I continued to function like normal, despite the fact that all I really wanted to do was ignore my alarm clock and pull the blankets back over my head. I marched downstairs and promptly brewed myself a mug-full of tea. Most the the day, I was able to act like nothing was out of the ordinary- I was even able to finish my science for the rest of the year! (*throws confetti*) After dinner though, I started getting really really tired. When Mom read us a story in the living room, I almost fell asleep. After she finished, I went back up to my room. If it hadn't been only 8ish I would have gone to sleep immediately, but it was, so instead, I crawled into bed with a book. I little while later, little si

I fixed it!

Image
A couple weeks ago I was notified by somebody who shall remain anonymous (you know who you are) that my Google Friend Connect button was out of commission. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was the issue, so I just left it alone and hoped that Google would eventually fix it for me. Still nothing. A couple days ago, Lydia asked me to email her a list of some of my favorite bloggers (don't worry, you're all my favorite, but I couldn't very well send her a list of dozens of links to wade through, now could I?). She also asked me how she could get more involved in the blogging community. Of course, I told her to post more on  her secondary blog , and to follow and comment on other people's blogs. After thinking on what I told her, I decided that I needed to check the design for her secondary blog because I couldn't even remember what it looked like even though I was the one who designed it for her. Holy moly! It was definitely cringe-worthy!
