La belle et la bête (2014)
Impressive cinematography and special effects, completely hollow otherwise
Beauty and The Beast might be my 2nd favorite movie of all time (I said favorite, not best). This movie seems to focus more on Beauty's family relationship and tries to make a simple fairy-tale seem epic and GG, but here's the thing: Beauty and The Beast wasn't written as a epic story, it never was meant to be one. It is simply "see beyond the appearance". I understand that the director wanted to show a more dark version of said fairy-tale and that's fine... As long as you keep your main focus on the title characters. There's a reason Belle's brothers or sisters blend with the background in the original tale. They are there solely to illustrate things. The main part is the Belle - Beast relationship that we do not get in this film. Even when the Beast turns back into the charming prince, Belle just sorta stands there mentally saying: "Eh, you are alive. Yay, I guess." My mom stayed awake til midnight to see her favorite movie and, by the end she just cursed the hell up because the movie was just disappointing to say the least. I praise it for having great costumes and astonishing set, but If you wanna get the heart of this tale, go look into the Disney version. For that movie knew where the core point lied, staying true to a aspect of the story that this 2014 version, that tried so hard to stick to the source material, missed.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Safe Deposit Krabs/Plankton's Pet (2013)
a really good episode compared with others
SpongeBob has gone stale after Bummer Vocations and reached the deep end in the 6th season. For some time now Patrick has reached a level of extreme stupidity, Spongebob turned into a crybaby and Mr. Krabs too stingy ... Was no salvation for this show? Yes, he had! and his name is Plankton's Pet! This episode managed to rescue the times that SpongeBob was cool. Incidentally the 9th season is, in my opinion, the best of the Pos - movie (except for Little Yellow Book). Writers, please do more like Plankton's Pet! 8 stars. Oh! And what about Safe Deposit Krabs? is a neutral episode: not bad but not enough to be as good. and this is my review.
