Hansel and Gretal: Witch Hunters

It's interesting how Hollywood's taking our favourite childhood fairytales and turning them into some badass kick ass movie with guns and whatnot. I really like the idea how they're gonna release Jack and the Bean Stalk and many other fairytale remakes to come. But it's kind of sad that Hollywood is kinda running out of ideas in my opinion. Meh, but we'll just see. Yes, i would definitely love to see a continuation or a remake of Beauty and the Beast or even Pinnochio :3

Here's some really interesting behind the scenes B-Roll that i found on YouTube:

Just a side comment, i bet it must feel really awkward having to only do one punch or one kick and then it's like take 2 or next scene. Maybe it's just me but i felt that the director and his crew did a really good job on it :)

I have to say, the visual effects for this movie were really well done, even though i couldn't find a clip of that, but i could already tell it from the movie itself. Stunning visuals and everything was really well planned EXCEPT for the very cheesy story line. Yes, if the movie had to be heavily critic'd on, i guess that the storyline would come up on top. The story doesn't really appeal to me because for the fact that i couldn't really tell what was going on at times and basically, it's one of those stories that make the audiences go "Oh! I know what's coming next!". So in other words it's predictable and whatnot. Yes, there are other things that can be critic'd on, well not everything's perfect as it seems right? :)

I would give the overall movie rating a 7.5/10. Great movie to watch with your friends, love ones or whatnot but definitely not with your kids haha! -If you know what i mean- 
I gave the extra 0.5 to it because i was swooning over Jeremy Renner 8D Gemma Arterton's hot too.. Okay let's not go there hehe!

Caroline - A Claymation

http://youtu.be/XUqMfKbV4ho

Here's a video about how they made the models and how they moved it. Crazy. Just. Crazy.

The way they make every model and having 250 people working on them.

I love how the story, overall, brings such a creepy yet beautiful feel. I feel as though it's one of those movies that gets you amazed, but then again, makes you feel slightly uncomfortable. I guess it's just how amazing the models are made and how weird they're designed to be. Hahas. 


This movie really caught my attention because the details of the models and the clays are just so well done and the very well written story line. 

It also took 2 years and 18 months to make the whole thing including the pre-production and whatnot. Say whuuutt..
