Finally an Enjoyable, Original Disney Movie That Makes The Holiday Season Better (Godmothered)

-

Yes, you guys. Finals season is finally over (Well, its over for me) and I can finally start watching movies for the rest of the holiday season. One of them would be one I recently watched during the past weekend and that is Disney +'s all new original movie, Godmothered starring Jillian Bell and Isla Fisher. 

Yes, you are probably judging the movie by the look of the poster or if you have seen the trailer then you probably thinking of missing this one but I don't think you should, especially if you are a fan of underrated Disney films. Godmothered centers around a Fairy Godmother to be, Eleanor (Jillian Bell) who wants to get her very first assignment and make a girl's dream come true. She finally comes across a letter by 11 year old Mackenzie Walsh making a wish and she travels to Massachusetts to meet her only to find out that 'Mack' is now a middle-aged widow with two kids. There is more to the story but I shall not reveal more. 

Godmothered awfully reminded me of Enchanted ( if you guys don't know what Enchanted is, then you definitely are not going know what I will be talking about in the current paragraph ) for it's humor and charm and especially because Eleanor, like Giselle, from a magical world travels to our world, learning the wonders and bumps of reality. The other funny part that makes a coincidence in this film with Enchanted would be Isla Fisher herself, although Australian, is often mistaken as American actress Amy Adams who portrayed Giselle in Enchanted. 

But other than that, Godmothered may not be an actual Christmas movie even if the events of film take place during the holiday season, Godmothered can be watched any of the time of the year and you would still be able to laugh your face off (if you have a sense of humor) and it definitely does fix certain myths of how fairy godmother's should or should not be influencing their godchildren. 

These new details of fairy tale magic further proves that Disney is finally becoming more present in modern times for that children are prone to absorb information compared previous generations especially little girls since these days. Parents do not want to encourage their daughters to be princesses and wait for the day she finds a prince to fulfill when she can reach her potential by doing so many other things. 

To end this review, I would say that Godmothered is way more than what it looks like in the poster and trailer. It is a family friendly film that deserves as much recognition as Enchanted needed way back then in 2008.

An Overlooked, Fun Marvel Adventure (The Marvels spoiler-free review)

-

  This is probably the closest thing to a Marvel team-up we will get for a while, and it is unfortunate that the drama within the media surrounding this film is based on reasons that are not progressive. However, that is not what we are here to talk about. The Marvels is the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bringing back Carol Danvers in her latest adventure with Nick Fury and some newfound partnerships with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan.  The Marvels is set 33 years after the first Captain Marvel movie, where Carol is still trying to save the universe and she thinks she's the only one who can. After the events of WandaVision, Monica is now working with Fury with her new set of powers in his new project called S.A.B.E.R. while Kamala Khan continues to be the giddy, new superhero that protects the residents of New Jersey but an unworldly event connects her mysterious bangle to both Monica and Carol. Due to this cosmic event involving the Kree supremacist, Dar Benn,

Loki season 2 (Full season review)

With Marvel in a sort of whirlpool of viewers not having consistent reception towards the content, they seem to be missing a very important and well-done part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki lives up to that statement with its second season. Despite its new writers and directors at the helm, the show still showcases the best parts of Marvel's storytelling.  Taking place immediately after the end of season 1, Loki is dealing with the shenanigans of the TVA and the involvement of Kang variants with the release of the multiverse. It is up to Loki and co. (consisting of Mobius, Hunter B-5, and Casey) to deal with the consequences caused by Sylvie. The show still continues to be a trippy, timey-wimey time travel adventure but adds the Marvel-ous flair that made the franchise so memorable. With new rules and problems being thrown in the mix to deal with, the sci-fi logic continues to be expanded upon, solidifying the greatness of the show.  Unlike most of the Marvel shows that dea

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Full Season Review)

  With the acquisition of the FOX properties, Disney had the chance to adapt to the world of Percy Jackson once again. However, unlike the last time, Disney makes an adaptation that lives up to the source material as well as embraces author Rick Riordan with production, casting, and various other factors that went into this show.  With this first season following suit of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson and The Olympians of course, follows the titular character learning of his mythological parentage and what that means when he is thrust into this world as he grows older and more powerful as a demigod. When he is chosen to go on quest based on a prophecy, he enlists help from Annabeth Chase and his best friend/satyr, Grover to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt.  Anyone who has seen the film that was released 12 years ago would have a good idea as to what this first season will cover but people who haven't read the original book will know the many changes that
