Gravity Falls

Gravity Falls... a show I can't make up my mind to if I like or don't.
This show has so many elements that I love, the quirky characters, the interesting humour, the plots, the continuity of each episode... but... I just can never really remember an episode after seeing it.
I love the show... yet it is so hard to pick out the defining moments in an episode that really sticks in my mind.
I think this show has a lot going for it and I will keep an eye on it.

It's clever and I think that's the thing that impresses me most.

Paranorman


What can I say about this film?
Simply Wow.
I have known about this film for over a year but when finally seeing it, it blew all my preconceived notions and was just, just, miraculous.

The themes this movie dealt with were so much more than the average movie.
How fear caused scared people to kill an innocent child.
I mean... once I saw that bit in the movie... once you realize that it is about so much more than just bullying, it's about a little girl being killed because she was different.
And that's the main goal of this movie.

To shock you, and to make you realize this fact to its greatest extent.
The moments after where Norman whispers in near tears,
"How could you...? She was just like me."
I mean... never have I seen that in a kids movie, becoming reality for a split second.
The kids' movies this year have just been magnificent. This year was truly the year for movies yet this movie for me personally breaks the mode.
You really get Norman. He is not some over exaggerated character. He is just a boy, a lonely boy and this movie has a slight melancholy to it, but the hope is what it really shows.
That in the end, we are all just people. People who do stupid things when we are scared, but there is always good people, and deep down... we are all one of them.

There is no villains in this this movie... there is only people.
And how we all have bad... but we also all have good. 

Original songs I love from movies.

 Paranorman
Norma's Walk
Okay, now you know when you see a movie and you think it's the moment that's beautiful but really it is the soundtrack that brings it to life?
There's one movie with such a beautiful song like that in it and that is Paranorman.


I'm gonna do a seperate review on that movie but there's just one song that is so beautiful, so sad, yet full of life and that is the scene in the movie where Norman is walking by himself, and seeing ghosts.
This beautiful piece of music is so aptly name "Norman's Walk" 
The song becomes more symbolic as the movie goes along and never tires of what it stands for, love and understanding.
I'll get more in depth about the movie later, but for me... this song makes it beautiful.


Madagascar 3 Afro Circus
Now this song is fecking catchy!
I haven't seen the movie yet but I know I'm gonna love it.
This song however, it's the beat of life, the jam of fun and ecstasy and there's not really much more to say about it... just listen.

Lorax
How bad can I be?


Now, I will admit, I liked the Lorax a lot.
I liked its pace, loved its song and thought it had a good message.
But the song I loved most of all was the villian song song by Onceler. The one thing that pushed this movie from good to great was that song.
It made a kid's film scary for a split second and I thank it for it.
These are really the three songs that have caught my interest in films, and I love them for it... this year three quarters done, let's hope for more awesomeness to come.

Toy Story


 I was just looking back on Toy Story and even though it in its basis is about a toy being replaced, to me what I see is fear of modernity.



Woody was the old way of life, then technology came and replaced him.
I just never really took notice of that before.
Just one thing I wanted to make note of.
Very deep for a kid's film.
Apart from that, this movie has many layers, many things happening at once and this one is often sidetracked because it's not really noticed much in the film.
Old and wooden or shiny and smooth?
I should really watch this film again
