Aladdin (2019)
Good but different than original
Good movie but if you're expecting it to go exactly as the original animated version than you will be disappointed. Absolutely NO comparison between Robin Williams and Will Smith's genie portrayal. My preference is Robin Williams version; however, Will Smith did a very good job. I don't like all the remake things because I like the original too much but his was good. The story line didn't quite go exactly as the original which bothered me. Parrot didn't get crackers shoved into his beak. Jafar wasn't near as evil and frightening. Was a good movie, just don't watch it expecting it to be the same.
The Roosevelts: An Intimate History (2014)
Wonderful series!
I've watched this series multiple times. I'm not political. I've never really paid much attention to the Roosevelt's. But I absolutely love biographies. Ken Burns has done a fantastic job with this series. I totally recommend anyone who enjoys biographies to watch this series. I came away thinking that our country could use another Teddy Roosevelt. His beliefs and tactics is something our country could definitely use right now. Not too fond of FDR based on this series. Wish it would have went more into Elanor since she was a true Roosevelt by blood (side note....I knew they were cousins before I watched this and it's still very icky that he married his cousin). I would love for Mr. Burns to create more biographies of this nature. I've tried watching others and they've failed to keep my interest like this one did.
