Younger (2015)
I gave it a Chance
Generally, the previews interested me. Contemporary, fun, includes the older and younger generation? Very cool! Being a woman, I can see how this would appeal to my gender, but anyone can enjoy it really. I couldn't stop watching after the first episode. It's a bit liberal for my taste, I haven't seen other shows besides Hot in Cleveland on TV Land, but even with the "adult-situations" it's easy to watch, and there's a charm to it that sets it apart from new shows these days. Great actors and actresses for the main roles, Hilary Duff was what drew me in in the first place, but a good show wouldn't be good without who's in it! Just watch, be free, and enjoy it!
Cinderella (2015)
Cleverly Done
You know, people will be super picky about everything, but leave all judgments at the door, because this movie is near perfect when it comes to honoring the cartoon, and you receive much more depth, with some small changes that make you go, "Ahhhh." We've all been on the fence line about real life adaptations, mainly because Snow White was off-centered, and a whole bunch of other movies that didn't need to be sequels or prequels, or alternate versions. We have a right to feel that way because we don't want a re-make to be "less than" or really bad. Even though you knew what was going to happen, it wasn't a drag to watch, or anticlimactic. Lily James is absolutely beautiful, and the cast does a job well done. BRAVO.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
Spectacular
This was a very patient and well planned movie. These days movies cannot do without special effects, but they do a great job, and everything looks very real. Despite what people's complaints are about how the characters aren't real Egyptians, or anything else that's supposedly inaccurate, it's time for people to take a step back and see these movies for what they are. They bring out the importance of marriage, and they create an idea about God taking the form of a child, instead of being a booming voice. There isn't anything too different that throws off the main story. Biblical movies will always get the brunt of all criticism, but it's way better than watching yet another satanic movie about possession or human carnage.
