Jaws. It was the first time I'd seen it, actually I thought it was quite well done and I enjoyed watching it which is pretty good considering how long ago it was made.

Moana :D Now there's a fun movie! Enjoyed every moment of it, particularly loved the songs. We Know the Way, How Far I'll Go, and Shiny in particular :cheese: Just a fun movie, Maui's tattoos reminded me of Hercules.
Yeah, Moana is the best movie of 2016! :D
And I watched The Black Cauldron. It isn't half bad as people say but it isn't amazing either... and it could be! So much wasted potential.I guess Disney was afraid to take a step further into darkness and movie ended being neither for young, nor adult audience.
It's worth watching anyway.

Hmm... looks familiar. ;)
Yeah Moana! :D
I agree about The Black Cauldron, Nit. It's such a shame that it couldn't live up to its potential! They could have done a lot more with it, indeed. Now it's just one of those forgotten films... I wonder if there is any film in Disney's "Classics" series that is ignored more than Cauldron xP
Last movie I watched was Big Hero 6. Every time I see it I'm sort of surprised by how good it is xD It's one of those films that I really didn't think I'd like, but it's actually amazing.
And before that I watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I loved it so much omg <3
I watched Vaiana (Europe name of Moana) while I was in Portugal. Here they decided to only release it in January because the school vacations that here are in January. It a very nice movie with very nice songs. I will not re watch in cinema here, but sure I will buy the blu-ray

Paulie, it was on tv. I'd never seen it before. Really enjoyed it, probably especially since now we have Dory. I maybe teared up at some points :p Was a cute movie though.
We saw Moana today.
Adam loved it. I'm scared he's going to bump Lion King to second place :lol:
^You have to admit it was pretty awesome, that being said it's no Lion King!
Pete's dragon
It was a nice family movie, but that's it for me.
Thought the rest was quite boring in general.
I much more prefer the animated version.
This one was a second 'water horse' for me.
Kubo and the two strings
Simply put, it was awesome. The animation was incredible, the story very engaging and the characters lovable. Plus I find the japanese-themed mythology enticing as well.
Edit: Oh, and I saw "Storks" aswell. Surprisingly, it was actually hilarious. Wasn't expecting too much, but the humor was snappy and right up my alley. Had to go search up some particularly funny scenes afterwards from youtube. just to see them again.
The last movie I watched was actually TLK. They were showing it on Funnel Vision by the pool on our last day at sea.
Moana
Yes! I finally got around to watch it ^^ and I loved it! I agree with all that's been said here, it's incredible! :cheese:
Though just as I expected, I did feel I would have enjoyed it much more in English. The songs didn't blow me away as much as when I heard them on Youtube in English after seeing the movie (I have a bit of a pet peeve with the way they write Disney lyrics in Spanish ><). But overall I still enjoyed it, and the ending actually made me shed a tear, it was amazing :)
Wow, 2016 wasn't a good year for many, but it surely was a great year for animated films. It's been a long while since it last felt there was some serious competition for best animated film of the year. They were all so good :D
Join the club now Leor! haha
I'm so in love with "How far I'll go" I think it's an amazing song ... and she was how old when doing this? 14-15-16? (well, she's 16 now, she's from 2000).
And Dwayne Johnson, always had a soft spot for him, lol.
And the animation is just amazing, during You're Welcome, the way they let Maui move.
And when Moana sings high long notes, they didn't just drew an open mouth, you can actually see the mouth move, just like in real life if a singer would hit such a note. I haven't seen that so noticeable yet in an animated movie.
Awesome!
I must say I was pleasantly surprised at Dwayne Johnson's singing :D I've had the songs stuck in my head since seeing the movie and keep having to play them on youtube :D I'm getting them stuck in Pat's head too :p
Fences. It was incredibly good in terms of acting, but it had to be one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. Denzel Washington and Viola Davis gave stellar performances.

We watched the Penguins of Madagascar last night. I actually kind of liked it...
The Lego movie.
Adam kept going on and on and on about it, so I gave in and watched it.
Very impressed with how it's done! Was really cool. Unikitty is awesome!
Chicago.
Never gets old :lalala:
Hmm I've never seen that, maybe I should check it out :)Quote:

It's pretty obvious this is the favourite pick to win all the awards (because Hollywood xP), and it is forseen "City of Stars" will win Best Song, but... I really hope it doesn't. It's good and catchy, but I still don't find it that great.
Moana's "How Far I'll Go" is far, far superior :p
Funnily enough, the last movie I watched was also La La Land!
As a musical-lover I had big expectations for this one and I was really excited to finally see a new "traditional" musical on the big screen, but I can't say it lived up the the hype :C I found it a little bland, the singing was lacklustre and I felt like it was missing something. Like some scenes just felt... empty?
I was disappointed in a lot of the singing too. Maybe it's because I've been listening to Broadway tunes more or less non-stop for the past year and I have another frame of reference xP I'm so glad Emma Stone got to sing properly during the Audition song though. I looved that <3 The only other scene I felt really engaged in was John Legend's song, and that wasn't even a "proper" musical number.
But there were lots of things I liked about La La Land. Even though it's not a new Singing in the Rain (my favourite), I loved all the grand dance scenes and stages that were inspired by the old Hollywood musicals <3 The soundtrack as a whole is nice too. I've been listening to it quite a lot today~
...and I'm rambling, I see. All in all, it's a nice film, but not much more than that. Alas, I have to say I am disappointed, but it just goes to show you can't always trust the reviews I guess.
Yes! You must! :D If you liked La La Land, Chicago is gonna blow you away! ;)Quote:

Two words. WATCH IT. Best movie of all year in my opinion, it actually had me feeling a lot of stuff.

Spirited away. I love that movie. Now I really really crave to rewatch more Studio Ghibli films.:lol:
Sausage Party. I want that hour and a half back please.
If you analyze it, it wasn't that bad :lol: I do want the last 15 minutes of my life back, from what happened in the movie those last 15 minutes, haha!
Disturbing to say the least ...
But other then that, it was "quite alright". Knowing who was part of the movie, already made you think it'd be crazy.
Seeing Alan Menken in the credits for music, now THAT opened my eyes o_O
No, it was bad. :lol: We were thinking the opening song sounded kind of like Book of Mormon, but then I was surprised when I saw Alan Menken too. But then again, he did do all of those weird songs for Galavant.
I watched "Beauty and the Beast" at the cinema yesterday. Overall, I found it to be a very enjoyable adaptation and I liked all the extra material/ relationships they added.:smile3:
Beauty and the Beast here as well. I really liked it and I can't wait to go see it again.
Sami Blood (a Swedish film about the indigenous people of Lapland and their struggle to fit into Swedish society in the 1930s). Oh my gooosh it was so gooood <3 I just had to express my happiness somewhere :'D
The next film I see is undoubtedly going to be Beauty & the Beast. I'll most likely have to see it alone though, because I don't have friends here who would want to watch it with me, haha~
Beauty and the Beast! :D I've seen it twice now, first with a friend the day after it came out, and then Pat and I went to see it a few days ago. I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would. It's beautiful, the songs are gorgeous and the characters are much more relate-able than in the cartoon. I loved the song, "Evermore" as well :)
Actually, I just watched Lion King, thought it was about time again, lol, just wanted to listen to the songs really, so kept going back in forth in all the languages my DVD as :lol:
The Beauty and the Beast remake at last, aaand... eh, it was alright, I guess? There's a lot that I liked and a lot that I didn't like. It doesn't come close to the original. Nope. Not at all. But enjoyable, sure.
Schindler's List, a film I've not seen since Secondary school when we learned about WW2 and everything that came with that, a film filled with way too much feels especially at the end when he said he didn't do enough...much hnng, Steven Spielberg did a really good job there...manly tears.

Just finished watching Moana (finally).
Honestly, at this point I'm not even paying attention to the story - the textures in this are AMAZING! *adjusts her glasses*
Like...sand on face...so much wow...I can't even...
Brilliant movie!Quote:

A dog's purpose.
Was home alone last night, and that was kind of my only option to watch, lol.
Overall nice movie, touching, but not something I would watch again.
Split.
I didn't really like it. While scary movies generally aren't my thing, I found this one also sort of boring.
Really? That one seemed very interesting to me.
Wanna see that one day, during the day, haha, only then I can handle scary movies :p
I watched about half of Moana last night. My iPad died after Shiny. Before that, I watched What We Do in the Shadows. Again. I love that movie. Go watch it.
http://i64.tinypic.com/5v0ftl.jpg (<-- Jemaine Clement. Also Tamatoa. Also Shiny)
I too recently watched "What We Do in the Shadows". Loved it! :)
And the move I've just finished watching was the Moonrise Kingdom. Wes Anderson amazed me again. :)
