Snapshots - #39: Coco, Pitch Perfect 3, Star Wars: Episodes VII and VIII

Coco (2017), (♦♦♦♦): Miguel, a young
aspiring singer, is afraid to defy his family's forsaking of music. On the DÃa de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday to
celebrate the dead, Miguel is, unwillingly, granted night passage to the Land
of the Dead, where he meets his ancestors and gets valuable life lessons.
This Disney/Pixar production has great animation and music, is colorful, fun, has endearing characters (both living and dead). Coco also has meaningful lessons about the value of traditions, the importance of family, loyalty, and honoring one's ancestors, all in a very entertaining package. Don't let the fact that it is an animated movie deter you from enjoying this gem. Coco is a great story to ponder for kids and adults alike.
Pitch Perfect 3 (2017), (♦♦♦♦): The members of the a cappella singing sensation ‘The Bellas’ have graduated from college and are realizing that they suck big time at real life. They miss the singing, the mischief, and the camaraderie. The father of on…

I loved the adaptation of Big Little Lies and thought the performances throughout were just stunning.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree. ;-)
DeleteTwo movies that sound worthy of watching. Thanks Carmen!
ReplyDeleteThey are, each with their own merits.
DeleteThe Wall actually looks really interesting. And judging by the trailer it would seem John Cena can actually act. Now, that is an unexpected revelation!
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't do much acting because something happens, but the little he could do, he did well.
DeleteHow many episodes or seasons was Big Little Lies? People swear by her books but I haven't tried one yet. A bit of a soap opera -- with more suspense?
ReplyDeleteIt's only seven episodes, one season, though I think they may want to milk it a little more. Despite what the blurb and my review may suggest, it is surprisingly dark. Not like a soap opera; not much love there. I highly recommend it! And some people like Sarah do not like her books.
DeleteOhh - I really fancy Bit Little Lies - thanks for reviewing.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
If you saw it, you would like it. :-)
