Ever After (1998)
What An Awful Boring Movie
I watched this a year ago and im suffering through this drivel again as a favor and its still agonizing. I am a female and all for feminism and social justice but the way its shown is so unbelievable. Also, if someone in the status of Anjelica's character became a widow, I don't think she would still have been single and raising three children in that period. Also, as someone already mentioned she is shown as a tough, kick-ass girl but spent most of her life never fighting back her family, that i cant really see. Drew does an alright job as Cinderella but ,typical her, she plays the character like a lost, defenseless puppy. Add in the the prince who is played by the miscast Dougray Scott, and you've got one of the worst movie couples. The prince comes off as a boring, one-dimensional, rude, self absorbed idiot. I can only remember chuckling once through the whole movie where the Spanish princess sobbed at the thought of marrying the loser prince. The script is poorly written and the kind of thing only someone 13 and under would really enjoy. Pretty much, save your money and your time and pick ANYTHING else. I would especially recommend The Princess Bride, which has much more wit and humor.
Were the World Mine (2008)
So many sweet moments
I was passing through channels this morning and decided to check this movie out even though it had 45mins left. And i'm so glad i did! I don't really see many gay/lesbian films but like the ones I have seen and I picked up the plot pretty quickly and fell in love with the character, Timothy. The sweet scene where he and Jonathan sit under the tree was one my favourites and so many more marriage scene & two blonde boys .I thought the director and actors were great and it felt really authentic. I found myself wishing and hoping that everything would work out even though i knew it probably would, and when it did, I thought it was the perfect way to end it with the two of them ending up together (Seeing Jonathan kiss him and the look on Timothy's face, Aww!!). The homophobia bothered me since I'm very supportive of homosexuality and really against bigotry and closemindness especially the "homosexuality is contagious bit" which reminds me of listening to a Church sermon on the radio and the Texan preacher saying basically "since the homosexuals have corrupted and beaten down God". To sum it all up I am in awe and am going to make sure i watch this gem fully.
