Inside Out, Home, Pan | First Impression
Inside Out
This movie looks awesome. I love that it says everyone has voices inside and the clips of the parents at the dinner table is classic.
I also like that it shows a few different parts of a persons inside voice and how you are made up of many pieces. I know that sounds crazy but this is being added to my must see list.
Home
This is a dreamworks movie, also animated. Looks very funny and it has the voice of Sheldon... you know... from The Big Bang.
That's enough for me to want to see it LOL
Pan
So many remakes on classics but this looks amazing. There is a boy named Peter {shocker I know} but there is a twist in the Pan... it is some type of necklace or symbol that gives or acknowledges power. The preview was short and vague but this is also a must see for me.

Ever After | Throwback Review
Ever After: A Cinderella Story {1998}
Earlier this week I reviewed the new Cinderella movie and I mentioned that it is a story told and retold so it is difficult to make it magical again.
I think that Ever After is a great example of taking a classic story and making it something you don't expect.
Drew Barrymore is beautiful and her character is kind and spunky. Historical figures are woven into the tale and the scenery is wonderful.
This movie is often found on Netflix and I think you will enjoy it. I saw it in theaters when it came out and years later it is still a favorite.

Throwback Reviews
I was wacthing an 80s movie this past weekend on Netflix and I thought, 'man I love this movie and want to write about it on my blog'. I then realised I currently only review new movies.
I've decided that isn't all it has to be. There are tons of movies out of theaters that are still worth talking about and mentioning.
So occasionally you might see a Throwback Review. It will be a movie no longer in theaters. It could be 6 months old, 6 years old or 16 years old. No telling what movie might catch my eye.
If there is a movie you think I should see let me know and I will check it out! I also think this will be a great way for me to catch up on remakes and sequels where I might not have seen the first movie or the orginal.
Since the movies arent in theaters my regular rating system doesn't for them so instead of Stars I will give hearts.
❤❤❤❤❤ Love it all the time. Could watch it over and over again. I probably own it and quote it regularly.
❤❤❤❤♡ Still love it. Will watch it over and over but dont own it. Dont really quote it.

Cinderella | Movie Review
I took my niece to see Cinderella this weekend. I had already seen snips of the movie thanks to Bachelor.
I thought the casting was done well. I loved the costuming but I personally felt like the movie fell flat. It wasn't as magical as I hoped it would be...but they are remaking a classic story that has been told and retold over and over.
So it would be difficult to retell in a whole new way.
My niece is 5. She liked it. She said her favorite part was the dancing. She is a romantic already and I love her for it.
★★★★☆

March 2015 Movies to See
Unfortunately this month is not a big must see movie for me. There is only one movie I am really looking forward to and a few others I know are expected to be big released.
Update: you can read my review here.
Cinderella 3/13
This is my must see movie of the month. I am looking forward to this remake and am hoping to take my niece to see it.Update: you can read my review here.
Chappie 3/6
I am still not sold on this be a must see but I might see it at the dollar theater. If you are interested in the director or have been looking forward to it this is your chance to support the movie opening weekend.
Update: Bear saw it and liked it. No idea when he might write a review LOL
The Divergent Series : Insurgent 3/20
This is not a movie I will be seeing since I haven't seen the first one yet but I have heard a lot of talk where people are looking forward to seeing it. If you see it I would like to hear your thoughts.

Ted 2, Mall Cop 2, Avengers Age of Ultron | First Impression
Sequel Central. No new movies ideas in this post. Just extensions of previous story lines.
Some might argue this to not be true with Avengers because by being a comic its story line was there before the movies came along.
Shrug. Okay.
Ted 2
Honestly I haven't seen Ted. My sister loved it and I have been told I need to see it and I agree. I think I will add it to my movie list. Ted 2 looks funny. He gets married and wants to have kids but he has to prove he is human. Yes, the teddy bear has to become legalized.
My concern is that the previews have captured the funny parts and there will not be many more in the movie.
This looks like something I might to see in theaters this time around.
Mall Cop 2
Oh the Hero of the Mall. There are some segways and and security uniforms. Our favorite Mall Hero is supposed to be on vacation but when you have a nose for smelling something that is up you cant help but get involved.
This seems like a dollar theater movie to me.
Avengers Age of Ultron
I am the worst possible person to give you a comic based movie opinion. Why... I have seen NONE of the relayed movies. I do not know the basic comic story line and I don't have an overwhelming interest in it.
That being said Ultron did have a catchy few lines about being on no strings. It was reminiscent of Pinocchio. I am not sure how it relates to the comic but I liked the line.
This probably wont be a movie I see even thought it looks good simply because of the time I feel I would need to invest in seeing the other movies first.
