Written by: Ron Clements, Rob Edwards & John Musker, based on a story by Clements, Greg Erb, Musker and Jason Oremland (with story supervision by Don Hall), all of this based (kinda) on The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker My Advice: Matinee. Tiana is a young lady who has a purpose. It's the 20s in New Orleans and ever since she was a little girl she and her father dreamed of opening a restaurant. Her father gone, Tiana soldiers on alone, working tons and hardly sleeping, socking away whatever money she can in order to get an establishment of her own. Into town strolls Prince Naveen, a bit of fun-loving and flat broke royalty, who falls for the tricks of the evil voodoo magician, Doctor Facilier (David). The Doc changes Naveen into a frog and the only thing that can break the spell is the kiss of a princess. Mistaking Tiana for a princess, Naveen talks her into kissing him, but it only makes things go from bad to worse, turning Tiana into a frog as well. And thus, hijinks ensue.

01.01.10 by Siege @ 9:09 pm Written by: Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham & Simon Kinberg, based on a story by Johnson & Lionel Wigram, based on characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle Review: After the putrid retch that was Revolver, it's good to see that Guy Ritchie is back making them awesome. I'd waited for this movie for a long time, and I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint. The kicksplode was a special type of Victorian brand...and extensive to boot. Also: Doilies! Time: 13 seconds Categorized as: Movies and Reviews

12.14.09 by Widge @ 10:27 pm ![]() After posting that terrifying holiday mental sorbet from this morning, I decided to delve into XmasFlix, where it actually got posted originally. And it's a YouTube channel with a wealth of vintage Xmas vids. Our first one is from 1898, which features the first appearance on film of Santa Claus: Categorized as: Movies
