Shazarose: Selma Short Review
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2015/01/selma-short-review.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Deeply moving, Selma director Ava DuVernay manages to avoid the many pitfalls that tend to plague most biographical movies (turning it into a hagiography or trying to cram a person's entire life into a movie's running time and thereby not doing it justice). She manages to achieve this by humanizing and giving us a blood-and-flesh Martin Luther King Jr. and also by choosing to focus on just a short time period in his life.

Shazarose: Cinderella Short Movie Review: Visually Gorgeous and Sumptuous but Emotionally Inert
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2015/03/cinderella-short-movie-review-visually.html
Friday, March 13, 2015. Cinderella Short Movie Review: Visually Gorgeous and Sumptuous but Emotionally Inert. The Cinderella bracelet I wore to the screening. My friend Jenna sells a variation. Of it in her Etsy store. The Frozen necklace I wore to the screening. The Frozen Fever short before the movie wasn't at all narratively satisfying, seeming to exist more to give everyone a glimpse of all the characters from Frozen than anything else. Jenna also has. Alums You can get the shirt. Both director and s...

Shazarose: Godzilla Short Review: An Almost Complete Snoozefest
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2014/05/godzilla-short-review.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. Godzilla Short Review: An Almost Complete Snoozefest. Most monster movies are able to successfully create enough tension and suspense to tide movie audiences until they get to see the monsters in their fully glory. Movies such as Steven Spielberg's Jaws. And JJ. Abrams's Super 8. Are able to achieve this feat. Not so Godzilla. Don't waste your money on this; go see X-Men: Days of Future Past. For a more compelling movie experience. 2 out of 5 stars for me. Ranking The X-Men Movies.

Shazarose: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Left Me Feeling Desolated
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-hobbit-desolation-of-smaug-left-me.html
Sunday, December 15, 2013. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Left Me Feeling Desolated. Let me start by saying how badly I wanted to like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I had been counting down the days for the last few months and it was with bated breath that I went to see it on Saturday, only to be crushingly disappointed by the end results. Warning: minor spoilers ahead as I state the many beefs with the movie I have below. The encounter between Bilbo and Smaug, while a delight in the film tha...

Shazarose: The Book of Life Short Review
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2014/10/its-great-to-be-watching-big-studio.html
Saturday, October 11, 2014. The Book of Life Short Review. It's great to be watching a big studio release of an Mexican/Spanish culture-centric animation film after decades of watching Anglo-Saxon culture-centric ones (No, Dreamworks' Puss In Boots definitely does not count). I'd say 20th Century Fox will have a really big moneymaker on their hands seeing as Hispanics are the biggest spenders when it comes to catching movies at the movie theater.

Shazarose: A Week of Fairy Tales
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-week-of-fairy-tales.html
Saturday, October 18, 2014. A Week of Fairy Tales. This poem is inspired by the poem Monday's Child. And the lovely bracelet pictured above, which was made for me by the amazingly talented Jenna. From her Etsy store Book Geek Boutique. You can visit her store here. Monday’s child is fair of face. With hair as black as ebony. An apple causes her agony. Tuesday’s child is full of grace. A maiden at night. At dawn she takes flight. Wednesday’s child is full of woe. For a pair of legs she gives up her voice.

Shazarose: The Wedding Ringer Short Review
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-wedding-ringer-short-review.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2015. The Wedding Ringer Short Review. I knew in my hearts of hearts that Kevin Hart's brand of humor wasn't really my thing, but when I overheard someone saying that it was one of the funniest movie that she had seen in a long time and when I read online that the whole audience was in stitches throughout the entire movie at a screening someone else was in, I thought why not? 2 out of 5 stars for me.

Shazarose: Into The Woods Review: A Winsome Cast Makes for a Delightful Musical
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-entire-cast-is-charming-in-this.html
Sunday, December 21, 2014. Into The Woods Review: A Winsome Cast Makes for a Delightful Musical. I wore this bracelet to the screening. It was custom-made by Jenna of Book Geek Boutique. You can check out her fairy tale themed merchandise on Facebook. A gift from Jenna, which I wore to the screening since it's the only fairy tale themed necklace I have. You can buy it here. And had a jolly good time at the screening. Unlike the godawful Les Miserables. Anna Kendrick plays Cinderella, and we already knows...

Shazarose: Fury Movie Review: About As Solid As A War Movie Can Get
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2014/10/fury-movie-review-as-solid-as-war-movie.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Fury Movie Review: About As Solid As A War Movie Can Get. Equal parts thrilling and equal parts harrowing even if it does occasionally take off in baffling tangents that doesn't jive with the rest of the narrative, the movie evokes an old-school look and feel on the horrors of WWII. While never reaching the heights of Saving Private Ryan, and despite the fact that as the narrative unfolds the movie seems to be unloading war movie tropes about as zealously as the characters go...

Shazarose: The Imitation Game: A Worthy Addition To The Prestige Pic Genre
http://shazarose.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-imitation-game-is-worthy-addition.html
Thursday, December 11, 2014. The Imitation Game: A Worthy Addition To The Prestige Pic Genre. The Imitation Game is a great movie that is a worthy addition to the prestige pic genre. You owe it to yourself to go watch this movie so you can learn about a man who not only was the father of the modern computer, but whose work was estimated to have saved 14 millions lives and shortened WWII by 2 years. How did the British government reward his services to king and country? As usual, actor Benedict Cumberbatc...
