How Much Have I Watched?

I stopped counting what I watched after 300 different listings. That includes complete tv series and multi-part documentaries. I plan on adding a section to the blog about my all-time favorite things to watch.

Tangled

Tangled is a 2010 Animated Movie from Disney starring Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi. Plot: A re-telling of the story of Rapunzel, this story throws a musical twist into that classic fairy tale. My Take: Disney gets back to its roots as great storytellers with this amazing animated movie.  The story is timeless and well-known, but this version has added enough new twists to keep it fresh.  The music is amazing, and the voice actors are perfect for their roles.  This is not just a kids movie, either, although all the little kids I've watched the movie with love it and sing along.  Funny, smart, and exciting, I'd say that this is destined to be yet another Disney classic.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 Fantasy/Sci-Fi movie starring Nicholas Cage and Jay Baruchel. Plot:  Cage stars as Balthazar, a master sorcerer who has searched for hundreds of years for the next apprentice.  Living in New York, he comes to realize that college physics student, Dave (Baruchel), is that apprentice.  He then begins to train him in the ways of magic in order to prepare him for what is to come: a showdown with one of history's most evil sorcerers. My Take:  This is a movie that I would never had seen in the theater simply because it didn't look like a movie I would enjoy.  However, watching it in my own living room, on a whim one night, proved it to be an entertaining and fun movie.  Baruchel is perfectly typecast as the lovable loser who tries to avoid his fate as a powerful sorcerer destined to save the world.  Nicholas Cage does a nice turn as his mentor in what is a fairly predictable story.  Predictable can be a lot of ...

The War: A Film By Ken Burns Plot: This is not your average World War II documentary.   Of the myriad of takes, The War is the one that brings it home for the average American.  Told through the eyes of the residents of four American towns while they lived through World War II, this documentary shows the devastation that was wrought upon the homes of America during this horrific war. It highlights how, in many areas of the country, the majority of young men would sign up for a specific branch of service depending on where they lived. Therefore, when a particular battle happened, such as Iwo Jima, certain towns were hit by far more casualties than another town in a state somewhere else in the country. My Take: In my opinion, the absolute best documentary that's been done on World War II. It's also one of the best, if not THE best, work of Ken Burns. Thankfully this documentary was done at a time where there were still plenty of WWII survivors (both military and civili...
