Live Action Lilo Falls a Little Short but Stitch Still Shines!

 

Disney’s live-action take on Lilo & Stitch tries to recapture the magic of the beloved 2002 animated classic, and while it has its moments, it doesn’t quite match the heart of the original.

Let’s start with what worked: Stitch and the other alien characters looked fantastic. Their design was surprisingly believable, and I actually found myself smiling every time they popped on screen. The visual effects overall had their highs and lows, but Stitch was a win.

The soundtrack was also a strong point. The music helped carry the emotion in a way that felt familiar, and it gave the film that little spark of nostalgia.

Where things stumbled a bit for me was with the human characters. Something about their performances or maybe the way their relationships were portrayed didn’t land the same way. Midway through the movie, I lost interest to the point that I actually dozed off (granted, I was tired from packing up my classroom, but still). That lull in the middle made it clear the pacing needed a little more love.

In the end, I think the biggest challenge was trying to live up to the original. I grew up with the cartoon version, it was funny, touching, and full of charm. This version didn’t quite hit the same notes. It wasn’t bad, just… not enough.

If you’re a big Lilo & Stitch fan, you’ll want to check it out for curiosity’s sake. Just don’t expect to be completely swept away.

Ohana!

Disney's STARGIRL Gets a Movie-Tie Edition + Giveaway

STARGIRL

Author: Jerry Spinelli
Release Date: March 3rd 2020
Publisher: Ember

Fans of Jerry Spinelli’s beloved New York Times bestselling novel STARGIRL will soon see the story come to life with the Disney+ film adaptation, releasing on March 13 and starring America’s Got Talent winner Grace VanderWaal. To celebrate this exciting movie debut, Ember is publishing a movie tie-in edition of the book, which will feature cover art from the film and will be on sale March 3, retailing at $9.99. The story, still as timely as it was 20 years ago, focuses on friendship, first love, and being true to who you are, and was hailed by the New York Times as “a poetic allegorical tale about the magnificence and rarity of true nonconformity.” It’s time for a new generation of readers to meet Stargirl. . . .

Stargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of “Stargirl, Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first.

Then they turn on her. Stargirl is shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love.

With 2.5 million copies in print, and universal themes of bullying, fitting in, and peer pressure, STARGIRL continues to be widely embraced by readers, educators, and fans of all ages. And with the movie release, this poignant and unforgettable story is sure to resonate with a whole new generation of readers.

STARGIRL was a New York Times bestseller, a Publishers Weekly bestseller, and a Book Sense national bestseller, and was named a Parents’ Choice Gold Award Winner, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, an ALA-YALSA Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults, a Book Sense Book of the Year finalist, a Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year, an ABC Best Books for Children Selection, a New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age, and a winner of the NAIBA Book Award for Children’s Literature.

Decades after her original visit, the magical nanny returns to help the Banks siblings and Michael's children through a difficult time in their lives.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Mary Poppins, like so many others of my generation. We grew up watching this amazing magical woman who took us on adventures inside paintings and dancing on rooftops. She taught us how to be politer, that being kind goes a long way, and that if you sing to birds, they sing with you. I used to watch that movie almost every day, sometimes more than once a day. So, imagine my excitement when I was asked to assist the screening for Mary Poppins Returns and write a review about it. I didn’t even blink when I said yes.

I won’t lie, I did not have many expectations for it, I wanted to remain neutral just in case. You know how it is, they make a part two (or reboot) and they change a bunch of things or make it feel like it’s not really part of the same world as part one was. So, I decided to remain neutral and just see how it went. It was great being back in the Banks home and seeing Jane and Michael grown up (the actors really do look like the adult version of the kids we saw in the original Mary Poppins movie many moons ago), but seeing Emily Blunt fly in on a kite (the one Michael had flown as a kid with his dad) dressed as Mary Poppins put a big smile on my face for she looked the part so much it didn’t even feel like it was a different actress. Then she walks into the same house she had done in the first movie and starts to check the dust on the furniture and give everyone a very judging look. At this, I was transported back to being an eight-year-old child and I couldn’t hide my excitement for the rest of the movie. It really felt like a continuation of the original story; it didn’t feel forced or like they tried too hard. It was flawless.

Let me start with Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins. I absolutely love Emily, and I have done so for many years. When I heard she was John Krasinski’s wife, I knew she had to be someone awesome to be married to such an awesome man (back then I knew more about him than her). Then I’ve seen her in several movies and interviews of her, and I fell more in love. Now she played one of the most iconic and loved characters and she did it beautifully and perfectly. She really captured Julie Andrews’ essence and put some of her own into the loved nanny. It made my little heart so happy every time she said “Pish Posh”. I wouldn’t mind a part three with her and just show us another family. Just please bring her back! 

Lin-Manuel Miranda plays Jack, who is supposed to be one of the kids that helped Bert clean chimneys. He remembers Mary Poppins and is who takes over the role of the friend of Mary’s who sort of tells the children about Mary Poppins and to not question her much. His role was of a sweet man who was caring and nice to the kids, but is also who steals the show about halfway through the movie with a whole solo song and dance that was just funny and stupendous. The beloved penguins from the first movie come out during his song and are as adorable as ever. I also like that they had him be a little flirty with Jane. 

Then there’s a spectacular appearance by Meryl Streep and another surprise (don’t want to spoil it). I love Meryl Streep too and she did a great job and her song is one of the most fun in the movie. Colin Firth as a bad guy is one of my favorite things for I feel he does it so well. He captures you with his charm and charisma then stabs you in the back in the most elegant way.

I loved all the attention to detail they put into the movie: Emily Blunt wears the same apron Julie Andrews did, their attire when they go into the porcelain bowl: their clothes looked as if painted and when they walked you would hear as if they were tapping on porcelain for real, the choreography towards the end was awesome, I really loved it.

In conclusion, I absolutely loved the movie and I would highly recommend it to every one of every age, especially if you grew up watching the original. As per usual, there are some critics out there hating on the movie, but that’s what I call a muggle. Hope you guys go watch it and enjoy it as much as I did.

#ThorRagnarok

Imprisoned, the mighty Thor finds himself in a lethal gladiatorial contest against the Hulk, his former ally. Thor must fight for survival and race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home and the Asgardian civilization.

---

Thor: Ragnarok was an absolute blast. The moment it starts you could tell what the tone was once the movie begins. The scenes were incredibly well done from every actors performance. The dialogue between Thor and Hulk was amazing as well as the fight between them. The plot was great it went well with the movie. Throughout the movie is a lot of comedy and right when there's a serious scene the comedy takes you right out of. It has a very good way of transition of serious moments to comedic scenes.

Tessa Thompson was perfect as Valkyrie her dialogue between the characters were very humorous. Graphics were absolutely outstanding they give great pacing to let you take in the environment of the movie with its awesome graphics and the little Easter eggs the have in this film.

Tom Hiddleston kills it at Loki once again with his interaction with each character. Hulk makes this movie fun and so entertaining keeping you wanting more and wonder what he'll do or say next. Once it gets to the end of the film you feel the urge of wanting more from the actors and their over all great performances as these characters. 

Thor: Ragnarok does answer questions that we're ask from the other films. Also ties in to what they have in store for Avengers: infinity war. Go watch it!

FUN FACTS ABOUT THOR: RAGNAROK

(copyrights Disney)

- Ragnarok translates to “the end of the universe” in Norse mythology, so it’s fair to
surmise that some edge-of-the-seat action is definitely headed audiences’ way.
- Director Taika Waititi not only directs, but also plays a new CGI character in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe named Korg (introduced by Marvel in a 1962 comic book). Waititi is
well known for not only directing, but acting in his own films.
- On those days when he did double duty as director while also portraying the character

of Korg before the cameras, Waititi was required by the VFX team to don the neutral
gray motion capture leotard, dotted all over with halved ping pong balls, used for
tracking purposes in post-production when the VFX animators create the CG character
in the computer. It was a strange sight for everyone on set to see him directing in that
getup!
- Characters from the Marvel comics coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in “Thor:
Ragnarok” include the villainous Hela (Cate Blanchett), introduced in the Marvel comics
in 1964; the fierce warrior Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), debuting on the comic book
pages in 1971; Skurge, the executioner (Karl Urban), a 1964 comic book debut; and the
Sakaarian dictator Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum), first appearing in the Marvel comics in
1969.
- Cate Blanchett’s, Hela, one of Thor’s most formidable enemies from the comics, is the
first leading female villain in any of the Marvel Studios’ feature films to date.
- The film is the first feature in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to shoot not only in
Australia, but in the entire Southern Hemisphere.
- Village Roadshow Studios has nine sound stages and “Thor Ragnarok” utilized all nine of
them for both filming and construction. Stage 9, the largest sound stage in the Southern
Hemisphere, was completed just weeks before Marvel Studios moved into Village
Roadshow for pre-production on “Thor: Ragnarok.”
- The world of Sakaar in the story is like nothing ever before seen in any of the previous
Marvel Studios’ films. Its design was inspired by the comic book illustrations of Jack
Kirby, who co-created “Thor” (with Stan Lee) in 1962. Sakaar is the world ruled by Jeff
Goldblum’s dictatorial character, Grandmaster.
- The two backlot sets at Village Roadshow Studios (Asgard Piazza and Sakaar) are,
collectively, equal in size to two American football fields. It took production over four
months to build them with a crew numbering over 450 at its largest.
- Oscar®-winning production designer Dan Hennah (“Lord of the Rings,” “The Hobbit”
trilogies) and production designer Ra Vincent (“What We Do in the Shadows”) designed
over two-dozen sets (both stage and exterior builds) for the 17-week shoot.
- Veteran costume designer Mayes Rubeo (“Avatar,” “Warcraft,” “The Great Wall”) made
over 2,500 original costumes for the film (depicting both the worlds of Asgard and
Sakaar), with all materials sourced in Australia.
-  Throughout the four-day shoot in Brisbane, Australia, both Chris Hemsworth and Tom
Hiddleston took every break in filming to greet the fans by shaking hands, throwing
“swag” (posters, sunglasses, T-shirts and such from “Thor: The Dark World”) out to the
crowd, signing autographs and grabbing personal cell phones for that once-in-a-lifetime
selfie. Many people (of all ages!) came back, day after day, rain or shine, for hours on
end, to catch a close-up glimpse of the actual movie stars.
- Chris Hemsworth also had fun handing out pizzas to the Brisbane crowds, which were
purchased by the production’s location manager, Duncan Jones.
- A local teenager spent all week on location hoping to meet Tom Hiddleston because she
had sketched a portrait of Loki that she wanted to present to him. Production arranged
for the two to meet in front of the local TV cameras.
- While shooting an exterior scene in the Australian wilderness, filming was briefly
interrupted when a large python fell from the dense trees above. No cast or crew were
harmed, and the snake was safely relocated by a professional snake handler, but not
before a few brave crew members snapped some pictures.
-  On days where Cate Blanchett was shooting, before cameras rolled on the first shot,
Cate made a habit of leading the crew through a few minutes of calisthenics to start the
day off right.
- During the early morning hours, before crew arrived for work, wild kangaroos were
often spotted hanging around the backlot near the exterior sets of Asgard and Sakaar.
- On the first day of principal photography, a local Maori tribe performed a ceremonial
dance to bless the crew in hopes for a smooth shoot. Eighty-four days of successful
shooting later, the tribe returned and delivered a beautiful closing ceremony as a
culmination to an incredible experience of filming on native land in Australia.
