Movie Review: "Frozen"


The next movie for me to review is Disney's newest (and one of their best!), Frozen. I'm working my way backwards from The Hobbit (Part 2) so after this review will be Catching Fire.
As with Tangled, Disney managed to re-capture their classic magical feel. Kudos to The Princess and the Frog for bringing back traditional animation in a CG dominated animated world, but that movie just didn't do it for me. It was good and enjoyable, and something felt...off. It could have been because the Princess wasn't actually a Princess from the get-go. Anyway......

Frozen has all you would expect from a Disney movie. Humor, adventure, romance, songs (the songs are actually really good. It feel like a musical in approach, rather than 'let's just sing') and excellent animation and visuals. 

The approach in storytelling was really unique and fresh. The best way to describe Frozen is if you add the visual style of Tangled, and mix Beauty and the Beast with Narnia. 

In short, Frozen is a film I will gladly re-visit in the future, in the form of (2D) blu-ray. I may even add it to my Winter/Christmas annual watching list....

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
