  Beauty and the Beast 1991

  ★★ Watched 14 Jan 2023

  I wish I watched what everyone else watched. Belle's bookworm trait really only serves to allow her heart to be won over super easily by a walking red flag. And to help contrast her from the town in one scene.

  For most of this Gaston isn't really any worse than the Beast. But for "love" (and plot) reasons he stops shouting at her and she "loves" him for it. Maybe this would have worked better for me as a tale of friendship. Weird vibe that comes from the necessity of the kidnapping/being held prisoner for this to work.

  An American Carol 2008

  ½ Watched 26 Sep 2022

  Where is the funny? 1/3 of the Zucker-Abrahams comedy trio made this? This guy is the sole director for The Naked Gun? How?

  David is making up an idea of a person in his head and then getting really mad at them and then he made a movie about his imaginary ideological battle. On top of all of that he ended up losing. Strawman after strawman made better points than him.

  This movie is pro-warcrimes.
