One Line Movie Reviews (16)

Rating: B+
2. The Conjuring (2013): Well-done but was hoping for a few more scares!

Rating: B-

3. Zero Dark Thirty (2012): Great dramatization of how it all went down, and loved that the one to figure it all out was a woman!

Rating: B

4. Practical Magic (1998): Definitely different than the book but I liked the new additions better!

Rating: B-

    I haven't heard of Happy - will definitely check it out. I'm thinking I need to take my great-nieces to Frozen; it's been years since I had a good excuse to go to a princess movie!

      I think you'll enjoy Happy, Lisa. Frozen is a great one all can enjoy.

    I think I mentioned previously that Practical Magic is one of my favorite movies. In its case, I loved it much more than the book. I also loved Something Wicked... very creepy.

      The book was a lot different. It's harder to show magical realism in movies and have it go mainstream. But I enjoyed the movie a lot better as well.

    Just reserved Happy at the library! I liked Zero Dark Thirty too. I saw Practical Magic a bazillion years ago and thought it was good, but I tend to thank that with most movies that Sandra Bullock is in ;)

    The only ones I haven't seen yet are Frozen and Happy, but they're both on my list of films to watch. Have a lovely Monday.
