Why Yeatman's G-force was not what we wanted
I don't know if you saw the Disney/Yeatman version of G-Force with the hamsters, but I didn't and I'm still glad that it has a 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. I was so upset when they came out with a movie using the G-Force title and instead of writing a great story for the original vision brought to us in 1978 from David Hanson and Hisayuki Toriumi, they changed the whole thing and made it about hamsters. Ugh. Why God? Why? They had a 150 million dollar budget to work with, and that's what they did? Ugh. Why God? Why?

The One That Started It All
We often think of Disney and Disney World when someone mentions the story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". However, this story was a book before Disney magic brought it to cinema and before it became "the one that started it all". When we look at the movie compared to modern theater these days, it seems so antiquated and outdated. Yet the music and artistry of the original Disney film is beyond classic and beautiful. Many minds were affected by this film and story. More so, the story as it resonates deeply in the subconscious mind.

Four modern movies that touch on the Cinderella theme
It doesn't matter if you are a Disney fan or not. It doesn't even matter if you like the story of Cinderella or if you've never even heard of it or seen her castle. The idea, that a poor girl can marry a rich guy and live happily ever after is a central idea in American romance and is deeply rooted in feminine ideology. It is why women cry at weddings. It is why women gasp at wedding dresses and open ring boxes. It is why men who attempt at being romantic get down on their knees to propose, or plan some memorable way of popping the question.

I have just watched this movie and wanted to write up my impressions while they are still fresh. I'll use my already familiar media literacy critique formula: any good creation of art (a movie, a painting, a book - anything, really, that has some encoded information in it as a medium) will affect us humans on four different dimensions. The best ones will pull all four strings, but a successful creation would probably have at least two:

Dr. Strangelove: Or what happens when two geniuses work together
In the thick of the Cold War, Stanley Kubrick created a work of art to reflect the state of human society in arguably the most absorbable form; a satire. As the great Sun Tzu said, all wars are won before they are fought; Dr Strangelove’s brilliance also comes through in its approach of the concept (nuclear war), before the cameras were turned on.

Unraveling the Notions of Love and Capitalism through The Maxton Hall Series
We all love the romantic trope of enemies to lovers that serves a slow burn, leaving us gasping for air amidst the sizzling chemistry of the main characters, diving us deep into the escapism of their romance.
