Summer's Blockbusters 'Drained' My Brain....^^

And these are just a few. As a movie freak, I couldn't put away my inner brain that keeps on kicking up to the point where I could not say 'NO' to movies. Yes, it's in my blood. Thankfully, I got membership card that gives me (somewhat) privileges to have some benefits out of the movie experiences.

In between classes, I squeezed time to WATCH them. ^^ what a movie freak. I admitted it.

No matter what the critics say on the net, it didn't budge me to retreat or change the way I set my eyes on particular movies. Why don't I watch independent movies, for a change?

I do occasionally. But, still...these summer blockbusters apparently seem to be the ones that got my 'money'^^

Godzilla're remake was a good start to anticipate the more and more coming movies.

And today..I watched Age of Tomorrow....and this one really blew me away.

and oh...yes..X-Men: Days of Future Past also hooked me on my seat. 

Ready..Get Set...Go..for more summer movies to come.

Ready to get my brain 'drained' and some money out...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

But of course...its' worth-it. 

Revisiting 'Sleeping Beauty' in Maleficent (말레피센트)

 Maleficent perturbed and entertained me. Was it because Angelina Jolie? Couldn't be sure of it, either. But, I loved it--no matter what the critics say about this particular movie.

The tall pillar-posters adorned the CGV hall. 말레피센트 (Maleficent) perturbed me in the way it really twisted, jeopardized, and urged me to revisit my previously strong-held knowledge of how 'Sleeping Beauty' bedtime story was told. 

It prompted me to ponder again and think the whole version of 'Sleeping Beauty' from the point of view of what I used to see as the no-need-to-know dark-side's stance. 

But, boy..I think this movie delivered its premise. (once again..against the bad reviews that this movie got from reviewers). 

After finishing my school-paper work, I had 2.5 hours free to spend. And..as a movie-junkie, I rushed myself to the theater and got myself a pampering in the afternoon.
This movie captivated me so much so that I was glued until the end credit was rolling up...while listening to the eerie, yet no-other-song-can-substitute-this song...called ' Once Upon A Dream' --which, of course, also appeared at the original Disney's animated rendition of Sleeping Beauty back in 1956(?). 

Yes..its' so good that I literally sunk into the seat...enjoying it. 

"Well..well...what an awkward situation" the uninvited Maleficent said while dashing into the royal's party for the birth of princess Aurora.....

Gee..I definitely recommend this movie for everyone out there who still loves the magic that Disney brings...or in this case....the magic that Angelina Jolie brought to us.

#There is one scene that really perturbed me and got me on my senses--. *Spoiler alert*

when Maleficent lost her wings and she cried out loud. This scene really corresponds to what just happened to Angelina Jolie herself who just got her double mastectomy or breast removed.
OMG..the way she cried in despair...was a resonance to what happened to her in real life.

Is it another factor that boosted me in appraising the movie? Oh, well.

All in all, I lam looking forward to my 2nd viewing with friends.^^
