Bit-size impressions: Pitch Perfect (and Bring it On)

I feel so out of character, not only did I rent a movie on play store, we watched a "girl" movie. Having said that, Pitch Perfect was really fun, but totally carried by its secondary characters (fat Amy, Benji, Asian girl), and while I thought this movie was better then Bring it On overall, I think Bring it On did the "outsider girl being forced into a community group, getting friends, falling out and reinventing the group" plot better.

And I so cared more about Benji's side story than anything else. So happy when he was *spoiler*. 
The songs are great. Planning on seeing Pitch Perfect 2 (and I want to watch Bring it On, again..)

Bit-size impressions: Make Mine Music

Rewatching for the nth time for Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet with the Andrew Sisters and The Whale who wanted to sing at the Met with the amazing Nelson Eddy. 
I'll never get tired of these gems.

Disney's 50th animation is worth watching

Tangled was great! It drew inspiration from the whole history of Disney fairy tales, keeping a very traditional art direction and story telling.They managed a classic fairy tale that, while not having a very original plot, managed to tell an original story.

Loved the return to a more musical driven film, loved that they weren't afraid to tell a very traditional story, with a traditional ending, and I love that they distinguished themselves from Shrek and Dreamworks, while still keeping faithful to the Disney heritage.

I'm also fond of Disney's continuing path of creating secondary characters with depth, heaps of personality, and flat out lovable. Though, Rapunzel was very fleshed out, and was really created with respect, kudos to Disney for honouring their female lead.
