January Movie Reviews

New Years Eve 7.5/10
I heard this movie wasn't very good so I didn't expect much. But when a movie makes me laugh and cry, I'm pretty satisfied with it. There are a lot of plots to follow as is expected with that many big names in the movie but I found it easy to follow. I loved the reoccurring New Year, new dreams look to the future forget the past motto of the movie.

Arrietty 7.5/10
Arrietty is about tiny people living under a house. It is adapted from Mary Norton's children book "The Borrowers". The movie has beautiful animation and is set in magical gardens. This movie takes you back to your childhood and I love those type of movies.

Melancholia 7/10
The movie is about 2 sisters staying in a chalet as a new planet threatens to hit earth. It's a deep movie on so many levels. Kirsten Dunst is amazing in it. What I liked is it's not your typical Hollywood end of the world type of movie.

Puss in Boots 6/10
This is the story of how Puss got his boots. It is a tale of his adventures with Humpty Dumpty and Kitty Soft paws. There is some adult humour in it which goes straight over the kids heads. No where near as good as Shrek.

I really want to see New Year's Eve and Melancholia! Not so much the other two 'cause I don't really like animated movies that much. Also I sent you an e-mail, but just wanted to say again THANK YOU for my card! Perfect ice-cream drawing :)

Aww, I'm sad to hear that Puss N boots wasn't nearly as good as Shrek. I've only had a review from my 4 year old nephew - and he quite enjoyed it :) those four year olds can't be trusted.
