Weekend Box Office: Moana crushes the competition

Fantastic Beasts was a snorefest. Eddie Redmayne was not emoting properly and it was pissing me off. That hair was so unnecessary.. All the actors had no believable chemistry.

Ezra was doing the most but Colin was sexy fine.

I didn't see anything because I'm home with my folks for Thanksgiving and I am SO BEHIND. \D8/ This week I hope to catch up on The Love Witch, Moana, Allied, Rules Don't Apply and Lion. I already saw Jackie, so at least I'm a little ahead for next weekend.

Oh, but I did see Miss Sloane the other week and I LOOOOOOVED it. It's kinda OTT by the final act, but in such a satisfying, twisty way. Queen Jessica slayed, of course. <3

That's the political/lobby one, right? Miss Sloane?

Yep. It's sort of about gun control, but it's really about the ins & outs of lobbying. It's kinda Sorkin-y and kinda Grisham-y and just really suspenseful and fun.

dang, you're not that behind at all! Lion isn't even out here. neither is Miss Sloane or Jackie. ahhh so many good movies.

I saw Arrival & Under the Shadow

UtS is the best horror movie this year

uts was not even remotely scary to me, idk. it felt more like a character piece rather than a horror or even a suspense film.

I almost never scare but this one got me, it was def a character drama first.

[Spoiler (click to open)]the scene where she tried to revive the old man with the missile in the roof was creepy as shit 2 me lmao

I trust your taste because you have a Noroi icon, so I'm adding Under the Shadow to my list now. :D

i spent a lot of my childhood on maui so i was pretty much crying from minute 1 of moana. i absolutely loved it but it made me so homesick for hawaii, i haven't been back for 8 years

In 2002, my family and I spent 3 weeks on the Big Island. It was the best experience of my life and forever changed me. My parents and I miss it so much and each year we say we're going to go back for at trip, but we never book it/
I think deep down we know, if we did, we wouldn't come back to the Mainland :-/

Saw Moana last night. I teared up every time the grandma was on screen.

The best part, no male love interest needed!

They even made fun of Disney cliches. My friend and I completely lost it when he said, "Of course you're a princess. You're in a dress and have an animal sidekick."

the connection she had with her grandma <3333

yep! omg. what a relief. it was just about her journey.

As soon as they showed the grandma and she started to sing, I teared up. I was like, the hell!? It hasn't even been 2 minutes. Get it together!

I finally saw Doctor Strange and I'm glad I did. Watching all those trippy effects on screen was amazing!

I saw Arrival and it was really good. Kind of like a modern Close Encounters of the Third Kind with some wibbly wobbly time stuff thrown in.

I've been wanting to see Moana, but the good seats have been booked all throughout...so I might just wait 'til next weekend.

i cried through 80% of moana and felt legitimately insane for it but idk something about it really touched my soul

:') I honestly felt like tearing up anytime they had the songs or when you saw her people on ships or whatnot. my heart just felt really full.

Same. I was deep in my feels.

Is that a spoiler? :/

Saaaaame. I legit held in a sob during the "How Far I'll Go" reprise. I cried through most of the film and I can't even exactly say why.

School is coming to an end, so after this week I'll be able to watch everything I've been missing out on.

FB, Moana, Moonlight, Edge of Seventeen, Moonlight, movie theater popcorn, I can't wait!

Edge of Seventeen was so good! I was def surprised.

i saw edge of seventeen last night and loved it! even if you don't identify with the main character, the humor is pretty sharp

I loved Moana so much, I've been listening to the soundtrack on repeat and still tearing up a little every time I listen to How Far I'll Go lol

I cry whenever I try to sing along to How Far I'll Go, I Am Moana, and Know Who You Are and I don't really know why and I feel like a crazy person.

I saw Moana and I loved it. I also saw Fantastic Beasts as well, and I really tried guys but I didn't like it at all. [Spoiler (click to open)]I hate the color schematics, everything was super dull except for Newt's suitcase, Newt and the leading lady were both incredibly boring, the mess they tried to pull with Colin Farrell at the end of the movie, and the terrible cgi, Buckbeak looked more real to me than any of the beasts in the movie. Needless to say I'm not excited about the sequels especially if David Yates are directing them.

I agree about Newt and Tina. I could care less about them. Both were so bland and incompetent.

I saw Moana yesterday, it'll never be my favorite but I thought it was just fine(but really that's it, just fine...)

Body Works however, holy shit, the was the worst fucking Short Disney ever put out. Like I'm outraged about it!

Edited at 2016-11-27 05:21 pm (UTC)

Body Works made me feel personally attacked lol. TOO REAL

I just thought it was bad. It was ugly and worse it was boring like I didn't get any feels or anything. I just hated it. I've never been so entirely unaffected by a short and that offends me.

it really does seem a bit lazy in concept when you compare it to what they've had for other shorts.
