Movie #20: Little Women

I've watched literally every version of Little Women throughout the years. The ending has always left me sad. So when I watched the latest version, I held my breathe. What I liked about this version is that it started at a different place in the story. That helped it all feel fresh to me. I felt like the characters were stronger and better developed than ever. I found each character to be endearing in their own way. Many notable actors and actresses were in the movie: Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Laura Dern, Timothee Chalamet, Chris Cooper, and Meryl Streep.

Like always the scene where Jo refuses Laurie's proposal made me cry. I did like the ending though. So, check out the trailer below and see this sweet movie.

Media 1

Since school finished, I've been catching up on media.

I watched Paul Walker's newer movie, Brick Mansions. As much as I like him, the movie was kinda meh.

I read the book, the Giver over break last year and liked it. It reminds me of a mix between Hunger Games and Divergent. I wish there was more than just the one book. I thought the movie, was pretty neat too. The actor who plays Jonas, is believable and interesting.

I also saw, When the Game Stands Tall which stars Jim Caviezel and Laura Dern. I really Like Jim Caviezel from the Count of Monte Cristo and the Passion of the Christ. This movie, has a lot of twists and turns. It's about a high school football team with an 150+ game winning streak. They have a coach that works to instill values and the sense of family into his players. He works to balance coaching, his health, and family. It was a pretty long movie, but I'd definitely recommend it.
