I'm already irritated by the fact that they youthified and slenderized the three fairies from plump, genial crones to sweet little CGI maidens.<br />I wanted to thank you for your visit to The Cheese Whines and for your kind comment on my Insecure Writer's Group post. I still feel kind of like I'm crashing the party, but it's nice to know that some people are okay with that.<br />http://thecheesewhines.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/insecure-writers-support-group-the-wrong-kind-of-insecureOrnery Owl of Naughty Netherworld Press and Readers Roost https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596105116325246476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208849527292516590.post-66500977243933753712014-06-11T05:04:14.800-07:002014-06-11T05:04:14.800-07:00I'm not a big movie person, but this one didn&...I'm not a big movie person, but this one didn't hold any allure for me.

But I guess the movie was more about Maleficent than anyone else. I thought that thing they did to make her cheekbones look really pointy was weird; it was kind of distracting for me because they freaked me out.

Even tho Maleficent was a frightening scary character, her transformation was obvious. She learned about love.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208849527292516590.post-83214606779353485242014-06-09T12:23:33.591-07:002014-06-09T12:23:33.591-07:00Hi Melanie!

Chrys Fey nominated both of our blogs for the Liebster Award so I wanted to check yours out, of course=)<br />I have been hesitant on seeing Malificent and after reading your review, I might wait until Netflex to watch it. Especially since the average movie-going night is about 30 bucks per couple so we'd rather wait the few extra months to see it.

I guess for me the acting, costumes, and sets really helped create such an amazing vision. We all know the story, but for me I thought learning more about Maleficent took the fairy tale out of itself and added an interesting twist.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.com
