My favourite modern Disney Movies!


As a remake for Mary Poppins has been announced I decided it was time for me to list my favorite modern Disney movies. I have yet to see Inside Out (I know! You try dragging a 30 year old man to the cinema to see a kids movie, he ain't for budging and I've no kids to use as an excuse!) so I'm sure when I get round to it this list will change a little. Lets focus on the Disney animation movies I have seen, these are my favorite from 2010.


Yes Brave is on my list. I know most people hated it but I'm Scottish damn you and she's great with a bow and arrow. Merida is a young girl, faced with an arranged marriage when she doesn't want one. She wants to be her own person, take on her own destiny, and doesn't need a man to save her. All positive's in my book as these types of movies are focused at young girls and why not show young girls they can do whatever they want with there life. Positive messages all around. Yes the bear bit can be a little silly, but still, great movie. 


If you don't cry at the end of this movie you really have no soul (I'm just saying this to make me feel better, I was crying buckets). Great movie which sees our favorite Cowboy and Space Ranger have to deal with Andy going off to college and mistakenly ending up at a daycare, they have to get back home but first must deal with a pink fluffy bear who likes hugs. It is a great movie but get your tissues at the ready, with an ending just as sad as the first fifteen minutes of Up.


Wreck-It Ralph is a great video game movie, even though it isn't based on an actual video game. Ralph is the villain in the arcade game Fix-it Felix, Jr. He wrecks and Felix fixes, pretty simple. But Ralph is fed up being the villain, he wants a gold medal as he feels it will get him respect. This ends up with him leaving his game to go in search of another leading him to Hero Duty, a first person shooter, and Sugar Rush a candy racing kart game. Felix goes to find Ralph as they fear the game will be unplugged without him. It's a great film, and the relationship between Ralph and Vanellope is great, 


How can I not talk about modern Disney movies without mentioning the titan which is Frozen. I even own a Frozen shopping bag, and I take it to the shops with me with great pride! Great story, great cast, great songs, great everything. Showing kids and adults alike that love can come in many forms. If you haven't watched it then you're missing out. Great twists and turns, as well as a dancing, talking snowman. I mean come on, its almost at the top of my list. Has a great spin on villains and relationships. A must watch. I don't even need to tell you any specifics just go and watch it. 


What Tangled beat Frozen in my list. You bet it did. Everything I said about Frozen exists in this movie. Great story, great cast, great songs. The reason it beats Frozen is the ending. Yes its about a guy and a girl, there's no other forms of love saving all but trust me. The story begins with an abduction, a child being locked in a tower and a whole bunch of freaky powerful hair. Rapunzel at sixteen is a shut in who reads, paints and stares outside and Flynn Rider just happens to run into her as he is on the run from the law. It's a great movie which I don't want to spoil by telling you the ending so just go watch it. 

Besides Inside out (remember haven't seen it yet) what is your favorite modern Disney Movie? What did I miss? Now I'm going to have, "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" in my head for the rest of the day... yay!

Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

SPOILERS, as always for those who haven't watched season one.  So everyone's favorite Blind(ish) Superhero is back in a new trailer. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is feeling guilty, maybe for the death of Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) last season, maybe for something completely different. Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) tells Matt that guilt can be a good, although Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Henson) also look plenty guilty in this teaser trailer. We then see a bunch of clips including Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) in her nurse scrubs, and Elektra (Elodie Yung) getting her mask on, all while hearing a voice over from Father Lantom who indicates that it may be because Matt's work as Daredevil is not yet finished. We then see Karen Page holding a Punisher skull on a x-ray and looking pretty freaked out by it. Then comes what I am most looking forward to, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is here, in a hospital (watch out Claire) and looking pretty bad ass if I do...

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Frozen

I did say last week that I was taken time off to grieve but after watching Frozen at the weekend I couldn't help but look at it from a Mental Illness perspective. I took this as a sign that I was ready to continue writing this series. Is Elsa a metaphor for Anxiety? The disorder that keeps me up at night seems to be prevalent in this film, even Grand Pabbie says it to a young Elsa at the start of the film, "Fear will be your enemy," and we see Elsa lash out at her coronation celebration. The fear she has inside her makes Elsa's powers go haywire, she fears her secret will be revealed to others around her, just as I feel people will find out I have anxiety just by being around me. But fear is not the solution, it ends up hurting the people Elsa loves the most, as she lashes out and pushes them away. She becomes so scared of hurting others that she ends up hurting them. Then when her powers get out of control she runs away and hides inside her own Ice Palac...
