The Lion King (1994)

IMDB: "The Lion King"
On IMDBs 250 Top Movies
I remember watching this movie as a little girl at the cinema and I refused (*spoiler alert*) to leave the room if Mufasa didn't come back. I cried rivers.. and I still do! There's no doubt that there's a big spot for The Lion King in my heart and it'll always be one of my favorite movies, along with "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast".


Simba is born and his father, Mufasa is passing on all his knowledge on life. Mufasa has a brother too, Scar. Not the sweet, cool uncle that many has, but a bitter lion who wants Pride Rock for himself and he does whatever he can to obtain that power. Simba is forced to run away from home and somewhere out in the African land he meets Timon and Pumba who becomes his new best friends. His former bestfriend, Nala finds him and tries to convince Simba to come back and take back what's rightfully his. Will he take matter into his own paws?

Nala and Simba, best friends forever!
Scar and Mufasa.. not the bestest of friends.. or even family..























Timon and Pumba's motto is: "Hakuna Matata" which means "No worries"!

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

IMDB: "Beauty and the Beast"
On IMDBs Top 250 Movies
Yes, it is the most beautiful love story ever told. 
If there's something Disney knows how to do, it's love and magical moments. Disney nowadays still knows how to truly touch our hearts, but nothing can enchant us more then the old Disney movies like "Aladdin", "The Lion King", "The Little Mermaid" and this fantastic love story of "Beauty and the Beast"!


We have the beauty..
.. the Beast..
.. and the creepy, crazy and cocky man who wants the beauty for himself.
Belle lives in a little cute french town with her father, the inventor. She drifts off to dreamland whenever she can in one of her books. Her father ends up by mistake by a big, mysterious castle in the woods and is taken as prisoner by the Beast. Belle, as good-hearted as she is, trades places with him and is now trapped at the castle. The reason why Beast agreed to this is because of a magical rose he "earned" from a beautiful enchantress who cast the spell on him so that he would remain a beast until he finds someone who can love him before the last pedal fells by the time he's 25 years old. Is Belle the rescue he needed?

The Little Mermaid (1989)

IMDB: "The Little Mermaid"
If I had to choose between my four Disney favorites ("Beauty and the Beast", "The Lion King" and "Aladdin"), a gun to my head, this would be my pick. This is as magical as it gets for me. I love Ariel, I love the ocean, I love the animals, I love the music, I love every single sparkle in this movie! When I was a kid, my dreams were to be just like Ariel. And I'm still sitting here waiting for science to come up with a way so that we can become mermaids.

The most beautiful girl in Disney history!
Ariel is one of the 7 princesses of Atlantica. She's adventures, happy and curious! King Triton, her father hates humans and everything above water, but Ariel can't help it but to explore everything, not just under water. One day, she discovers humans in a boat, and Prince Eric is one of them! Something goes terribly wrong and she has to save him! When he wakes up, he gets a little glimpse of her cute face and is instantly drawn to her. Will he ever find her again?


Yes, he will. But she has to make some big sacrifices for him, and for that she has to go to the evil sea witch, Ursula! She's not asking much, just .. her voice in return for legs. Because, you know, "she's got her looks, her pretty face, and don't underestimate the importance of body language"!

Even the water looks magical!
The famous sea castle of Atlantica!

Aladdin (1992)

IMDB: "Aladdin"
I have four Disney favorites that no new Disney or any movies can triumph over. It's "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "The Lion King" and this exotic and magical fairytale "Aladdin"! There's not a chance for me to love Disney more than I do, and these four is what represents pure Disney magic in my eyes!


Aladdin is a street rat and he does his best to survive in the little town of Agrabah with his little furry companion Abu. In the palace lives the Sultan, his beautiful daughter Jasmine and his "trustworthy" Grand Vizier, Jafar. Princess Jasmine is sick of staying behind the walls of the palace and she escapes one day and walks around at the market, where she meets the charming and handsome Aladdin! Jafar doesn't like that, because he's suppose to marry Jasmine so that he can take over. So he comes up with a plan to get Aladdin out of the way. But thanks to little Abu, his plans goes up in sand..

"This is it? This is what we came all the way down here to......"
Thanks for the laughs, Genie.

About Time (2013)

IMDB: "About Time"
In my eyes, this movie is perfect and it has a message to everyone out there:

Treasure every moment in your life,
no matter how perfect or not. You only live once. 

Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) and his funny dad (Bill Nighy) going back in time together.
Tim (Gleeson) finds out that the men in his family can go back in time, he only has to clench his hands together in a dark room and svoosj! After living with his parents outside of London, he decides to go out and explore London. He meets Mary (Rachel McAdams) and he falls completely head over heels in love with her. Somehow he messes up the "time-line" and she's gone from his life. He doesn't give up, he finds her again and plays with his powers a littlebit. How will it all end?

Romantic times in the rain.. What else can you ask for?

Thor: The Dark World (2014)

IMDB: "Thor: The Dark World"
I actually don't remember much from "Thor".. I only remember the hotness from The Mighty Thor himself: Chris Hemsworth, so of course I couldn't wait for this film too. Besides from being mesmerised from muscles, I loved the story and I fell in love with Loki! He's so funny, but bad at the same time.

Tom Hiddleston.. my new crush!
This time, Thor has been away for a couple of years, so Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) has sort of given up on looking for him. But you know Thor, he'll be back after saving the world and all that. And before he gets to Jane, she's "infected" with some red mysterious fog-type-thing that makes her very desirable for Malekith (the bad guy) because he wants what she has, it's not for her to play with.

This movie has humour, emotional moments, action, handsome men.. and it's Marvel! Gotta love those superheroes! Good or bad!

* 8/10 *




Sequel of "Thor".

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

IMDB: "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"
I love me some superheroes, and Spidey is one of the coolest ones. After I saw "The Amazing Spider-Man", I didn't like "Spider-Man", especially "Spider-Man 3"! They're alright, but not as cool as the amazing ones! And this is another example were the sequel is better than the first one! In my opinion, of course..

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does what ever a spider can!
Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is struggling to balance the duties as the superhero Spider-Man and his beautiful girlfriend, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). He has her fathers last words on his mind before he died, not to include her in his life because it would mean putting her in danger. He also meets up with an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) and the new "villain" Electro (Jamie Foxx) comes into his life and things get a little bit.. well.. complicated.. Spider-Man, what will you do?!?

Peter (Garfield) and Harry Osborn (DeHaan) = Friends 4 Life

Peter Parker (Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Stone) are boyfriend and girlfriend both on and off set.. 

Max Dillon aka. Electro (Foxx) was a bad-ass good-guy-turned-bad-guy
