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!

Agents of Shield - Purpose in the Machine

So yeah I just finished watching Agents of Shield episode two. I was going to leave it until tomorrow morning but I found myself wanting to write about it.  I really enjoyed this episode guys and I am going to tell you why. SPOILERS ARE COMING! Now let's talk about Ward (Brett Dalton), I love hydra Ward best. If Grant has an evil purpose he is better for it, he might not have the girl, but he has a team. Ward is going to cleanse Hydra of all its money lovers. He will form Hydra 2.0, only in it for the destruction. Now that's the Ward we can all get behind, he might be the bad guy, but he's our bad guy. So the episode starts in 18th century England inside a creepy mansion with men in powdered wigs and such. They are technically drawing straws but with stones, the white stone goes in the Portal. He will be missed but they throw out a hydra-esque quib about how they have to sacrifice to learn, wait no one actually comes back. Oh no Simmons! We cut back to present day a...

Game of Thrones - Who Else Could Return From The Dead?

Spoilers ahead for episode seven of this sixth season, The Broken Man.  Last week I was so relieved to finally see the Gravedigger Theory  confirmed, us book fans had an idea that we hadn't quite seen the last of that loveable Hound, Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann), and it was nice to see him appear lugging a tree. Now we are faced with wondering who else could potentially rise from the dead before this sixth season is over. Stannis the Mannis Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) was apparently killed by Brienne at the end of last season, but the shot cut away before we saw his head being chopped off. If watching the show or reading the books has taught us anything it is to not believe someone is dead until we actually see it happen with our own two eyes. The Hound was in a similar position, we all thought he would die from bleeding out in the middle of nowhere but he had help in the form of Brother Ray (Ian McShane), who had stumbled upon him and saved him from dea...

Jessica Jones

So I have been excited for Jessica Jones since I looked her up when Netflix announced this TV series. So for those of you who don't know who this character is, Jessica Campbell is her birth name, she went to school and had a bit of a crush on Peter Parker. While with her family on there way back from Disneyland their car collided with a military convoy carrying, you guessed it, radioactive materials. Her family died, she woke from a coma several months later with super strength, a limited invulnerability and the ability to fly. She was then placed in an orphanage and later adopted by the Jones family. Witnessing Spiderman take on Sandman made her want to use her powers for good and Jewel was born. Although her superhero career was pretty uneventful ending in her being mind controlled by The Purple Man. The show picks up with her opening her detective agency where due to her background most of her clients are superheroes. I'm looking forward to this hero for hire situat...
