Top 10 favorite flying sequences

    There’s one thing I love more than watching a cool sequence in movie and that’s experiencing a cool sequence in a movie. Not literally of cores, but when a scene is so heavy with atmosphere, music and thrills, you almost begin to feel like you’re there, experiencing the event that’s unfolding on screen, as opposed to just watching something on a screen. Personally, nothing engages my senses more than a flying sequence. When done right, these scenes have a power to lift you off your feet and submerse your mind into something that's truly simulating. So, in what might just be the strangest, yet, coolest top ten lists I’ve ever constructed, here are my top ten favorite flight sequences in movies.



                                   10. Bike riding at night from “E. T. The Extra Terrestrial” 


Of cores I had to include this one, this scene is so iconic and so classic that’s impossible not to have it on the list. Admittedly, it’s a very short scene, about a minuet long at best but it’s still a cinematic gem. The music is nice and of cores that shot of them flying in front of the moon is so timeless. It’s one of those wholesome scenes that allow you to take a moment to breathe and I love it when movies give you a minuet to just breathe.  



                                        9. “A Whole New World” from Disney’s “Aladdin” 


Now this a different kind of flight sequence. It’s not big on cinematography or spectacles, the same way many other flights are, but for obvious reasons, it’s still one of the greatest flight sequence ever seen in a motion picture. This musicale number is often regarded as one of the greatest in Disney history and while the song is romantic enough on its own, it's the presentation with our two lovers flying trough the clods and across the sky that really makes it feel all the more magical. On a side note, I just love all the different locations in this scene, from Arabia, to Grease, to Egypt, to China, they certainly cover a lot of places in one night.  

 

                           8. Eagle Rescue from “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” 


You’ll notice that a lot of the flights on this list involve giant eagles, that may seem a little repetitive but they all have their own unique strengths. Case in point, this awesome flight scene, which is actually the finally of the movie. After a flock of giant eagles rescue our hero’s from the villains, were treated to a breathtaking flight through a mountain range, with wonderful cinematography and the most simplistic musical score you could ask for. Plus, it’s such a spectacle to behold, when you have several giant eagles flying silhouette against a setting sun.  


  
                                              7. “It’s my Time to Fly” from “Titan A.E.” 


Now here’s a rather unique flight scene because unlike all the others, this one takes place in outer space. However, rather than flying around a black void with twinkling stars in the background, this film provides one of the most unique renditions of outer space that I’ve ever seen. With gaseous anomalies, colorful backgrounds, active environments and glowing blue angle creatures that fly around the ship. In this scene, which is so appropriately matched to the rock’ n good song “It’s my Time to Fly”, our lead hero gets a chance to pilot the space ship. What follows is a riveting flight sequence that’s absolutely worth including on the list.   
   


                                                6. The opening to Disney’s “Dinosaur” 


Talk about starting your movie on a high note. The opening of Disney’s “Dinosaur” is like a short movie in of itself, showing the life and struggles of various Dinosaurs. In this opening is a brief moment featuring a pterodactyl as it collects food for its nest. The flight sequence that follows is nothing short of phenomenal. The landscape, the musicale quire and the cinematography are all brought up on such a grand and epic scale, making this intro feel larger than life.


      
                         5. Flying the Golden Eagle from Disney’s “The Rescuers Down Under” 


Okay, the eagle scene from “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” was really cool, but honestly, it’s nothing compared to this. So what makes this eagle flight more spectacular than the one featured in that film, well, to be honest, there’s so much more going on in this scene. We have some awesome shots of the eagle flying through the sky but then we have some really unique moments involving water skiing, a dive off a waterfall and an intense drop from a mountain that really elevate this into one of my favorite animated scenes from any Disney movie. The backgrounds are great and the occasional first person perspective help’s simulate the whole illusion and feel of flight perfectly.  
  


                           4. Buckbeak flight from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” 


As far as sheer spectacles go, this flight may seem a little tame in comparison to some of the other flights on this list. However, this is still a personal favorite scene of mine because this is where I first fell in love with flight sequences. It’s a new class for Harry and his friends at Hogwarts school, and today’s class is all about a winged creature called a Hippogriff, nicknamed Buckbeak. During class, Harry gets the privilege to ride this creature, like many other flights featured on this list, this whole scene could have been cut out of the film for plot and time purposes, but it’s another perfect example of the movie giving the audience a moment to just breathe and be submersed in the world that the film creates. Plus the shots, the scope and especially the music are all stealer in this short but awesome flight scene.    


 
                                         3. “Pines of Rome” from Disney’s “Fantasia 2000” 


I’ve used a lot of Disney movies on this list and of all them, this segment from “Fantasia 2000” is the best by far. This isn’t just a visual marvel to behold on screen, it’s a very imaginative and even artistic segment. The whole scene revolves around a group of flying whales and while that may sound odd, it still matches the musicale piece of “Pines of Rome” beautifully. I especially love how this segment builds, first it’s two flying whales, then it’s tones of flying whales, their swimming through the clouds, the music builds along with it, it’s just an awesome sequence.   



                                                     2. Sealing the Bond from “Avatar” 


Wow, now this was an experience I’ll never forget. Unlike every other flight scene mentioned on this list, I experienced this flight in 3D and IMAX. That more than anything transcended this awesome flight scene into a phenomenal experience. For the first time, I truly felt like I was experiencing the simulation of flight in a movie. The world of Pandora it also a visual marvel, complete with floating mountains, detailed landscape and some of the most unique looking flying creatures I’ve ever seen. This could have easily been my number one favorite, if it weren’t for the next scene.



Before I reveal my #1 Favorite, here are my most Honorable Mentions ...

Flight from The Snow Man
Flight from The Never Ending Story
Flight from Superman
Flight from Toy Story
Flight from The Matrix Reloaded
Flight from Bee Movie
Flight from Pearl Harbor 
Flight from Disney’s Peter Pan







                                             1. Dragon Riding from “How to Train Your Dragon” 


Only a year after “Avatar”, I never thought another movie could provide a flight scene as spectacular as the one in that film, but then “How to Train Your Dragon” came out and completely knocked “Avatar” out of the park. The plot revolves around a boy who’s teaching a dragon obedience, as well as learning how to fly him and when they go flying through the sky or through a cannon, you feel like your right there on that dragon. The 3D flying sequences in this film are true spectacles and the scenes themselves are just beautiful to look at. Not only is the cinematography breathtaking but the lighting is especially good, ranging from warm sun sets to cool nights full of glittering stars. Best of all, there’s not just one but several flight scenes in this flick and every one of them dose something different and awesome. This is one of those movies that’s meant to be seen in the IMAX, I mean it’s still a great movie regardless, but the flight scenes alone make this worth full price.        



The Walking Dead: Season 3 (TV Review)


        Ever sense the show first premiered on the AMC network, I’ve been a captivated fan of “The Walking Dead” television series. With lots of zombie action and situations that feel big and cinematic, this show certainly ranks high on the entertainment but it’s not just about the gory action. A lot of the show is devoted to the characters, how they change over time in this apocalyptic world and the show is even bold enough to ask some legitimately deep questions about our humanity. What would we do in one of their situations, would we make the hard choices that keep people alive, even if that means resorting to actions that are both morally and ethically wrong? It’s simply captivating and easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Now I’ve loved every single season of the series so far but one particular season is a mixed blessing, and has especially given fans of the show mixed thoughts, this of course is season 3. Well, I’d definitely put this season in the category of good, but it isn’t without some faults. P.S. If you haven’t seen this season I’ll be spoiling a lot of it in this post, and if you haven’t seen the show at all, definitely see it before reading this, if not, I have other posts.


       The set up for the season goes like this, back in season two, our traveling group of survivors took refuge at a farm and gained some new allies. Unfortunately, a herd of zombies stormed through their land, forcing them to go off on the run again. Now, Season three picks up with the former Sharif Rick and his group taking refuge in an abandoned prison, which will become a main stay location throughout the season and most of season 4. The first half of the season focuses on the group trying to subtle in and deal with a group of prisoners that were left behind. Meanwhile, one group member named Andria, who was separated from them at the end of season two, has now found herself in a small town called Woodbury, which seems like an ideal safe haven, with families and children living in peace, but there’s something far more sinister to this community then she realizes. Enter a new main stay villain called the Governor, who leads the town people. He maintains the illusion that he’s a cheery guy and only wants what’s best for his people, but when his true colors are revealed, he becomes a serious threat to our hero’s at the prison. The whole second half of the season becomes a never ending battle for survival between Rick’s group and the Governors town. 


        All the characters that have survived the last two seasons are back, most of which are better than ever but some aren’t nearly as good as before. Sharif Rick for example began as an awesome lead protagonist back in season one, and we cheered for him all the way. He’s the guy that made selfless decision’s and always did what was best for the group, but in this season, he goes through a serious change. He’s now become cold, bitter, more violent and even a little crazy. It’s understandable, considering what he’s been through, but I just don’t find myself rooting for him the same way I did in the first two seasons, he’s mostly by himself and a lot of his actions feel very out of character for him. Thankfully, he becomes an awesome lead character again by the end of the season, he starts to look cleaner and I love that he renounced his position as leader of the group.


    One thing that remains constantly bad in this season is his hallucinations of his late wife. Yes, after his wife dies, her spirit keeps appearing at the prison, or maybe its Rick losing his grip on reality, but every time she appears, the show goes for a magical mood, with light music, and his wife warring an attractive, clean white dress, which really breaks the mood of the show. It gets especially annoying after a while and by the eighteenth time Rick sees her, its like “Geese, would you cut that out already!”


       Thankfully, most of the main stay heroes are greatly improved in this season. The young adults Glenn and Maggie finally have a solid relationship going, and it’s a real treat to see them get married in the end. The old man named Hershel has gone from being a grumpy farmer, to the moral compass of the group and personally one of my favorite characters. My favorite character in the show has always been the red neck hunter named Daryl, he’s the underdog of the group, but no-one else is as bad ass as him. This season just elevates his awesomeness, he’s now become a respected member of the group and is no longer a lone wolf. I really liked Andria in this season, which is interesting because she was one of my least favorite characters, but she really improved in this season, I liked her story arch and her determination to bring peace between Rick and the Governor.  


       One of the biggest highlights of season three is the introduction of a new main stay character named Michonne, who’s arguably my second favorite character in the series next to Daryl. She’s a bad ass chick, who wields a samurai sword, almost reminds me of the bride from “Kill Bill”. At first, Michonne is a lady of phew words but as she opens up to the group, she has more to say, and we find out that she’s actually very carrying, has an upbeat personality, conveys some genuinely thoughtful words of wisdom and it’s just been a real treat to watch this character grow over the series.

                              
       Another highlight of this season is the introduction of The Governor, honestly, one of the best TV villains ever. David Morrissey is just spot on in the role, finding that perfect balance between a wicked charm and actual scares. I love how over the cores of the series, the Governor seamlessly transitions from cartoony antics, to threatening actions, to complex character development, specifically in season 4. He’s everything you’d want in a good villain and that makes him one of the best. Plus, I’ve seen a lot of characters look cool with an eye patch look, but for some reason no one pulls it off quiet as well as this guy, he just owns that eye patch.


      This season also marks the return of an old adversary named Merle, who’s Daryl’s older broth and the first official foe to take on the group. Back in season one, his efforts to gain control resulted in him losing his left hand to Sharif Rick. Now he’s back with a sword replacing his missing hand, making him far more threatening than ever before. However, he becomes more of a wild card in this season, struggling between his loyalty to his brother and seeking vengeance on the people who left him for dead. I like what they do with him in this season and where his story ends up at the finally of the season is very satisfying. Ricks arch enemy Shane, who died at the end of season 2 also makes a cameo during a fire fight, which was a very nice touch. I know I’ve made a lot of complaints regarding Rick’s hallucinations, but having him imagine that his old nemesis Shane was shooting at him during the heat of a fight was actually quite effective.


      That takes care of the characters, now let’s look at what goes on this season. Well, this is pretty much the season for people that didn’t like season 2. That season didn’t rely on much gory action and was actually a lot more subtle, focusing on the characters and some genuinely thought provoking themes. Season 3 on the other hand is a strait up action packed romp, with lots of gory zombie battles and shoot outs. This makes the season a lot more entertaining to watch, but it doesn’t tackle as many subjects that make you think. There are some good elements in there, and even episodes that study the human condition, it’s just not as deep as I’d like it to be. The story also gets very repetitive by the end, almost like a record player repeating the same song over and over again. Having said that, there are still some great action highlights, and the season stays consistently entertaining to watch. My favorite episodes are in the mid-season finally, when our young lovers Glen and Maggie are captured by the Governor, which forces Rick’s group to go on a desperate mission to rescue them. This was the first time the two groups cross paths and it’s hear that their on-going battle officially begins.


      Now fans of the show already know that you can’t get too attached to the characters because this series has no problem killing off its main cast. Personally, I think season 3 went way too far with axing of its main cast. Some of the character deaths like Merle’s and T-Dogs were excusable and while the death of Rick’s wife was sad for him and his son, I never really liked her character, in fact, I found her annoying. But then we have Andria’s death, which was completely uncalled for. Even if you weren’t a fan of this character, her death still disappoints because it ruins one of the main story arch’s that was a main focus for most of the season. I feel like they wasted her for no good reason, and the show even wasted it’s time with two episode focusing on her trying to get back to the group, only to be kidnapped by the Governor and killed before she can reunite with them, that sucks. Then there’s the issue with those prisoners who were introduced at the beginning of the season. This started an interesting conflict for Rick’s group, having to live with these convicts and slowly welcoming some of them into the family of survivors. Unfortunately, they all drop like flies before the mid-season finale, so what the heck was the point of introducing these characters and setting up an interesting conflict if there just going to get killed off so suddenly.


      Another element that comes into play for this season is religious metaphors and symbolism. Now there have been moments in season two that lightly touched on religious themes but this season really utilizes its symbolism. Some may be annoyed by this but I think it’s a great touch. There’s lots of lines and quotes taken directly from the bible that are conveyed frequently by the characters, discussions that revolve around maintaining ones faith in a critical situation and even the titles of some of the episodes have a religious background to them. One of the episodes involves a character that plans to betray someone they were once close to, and the name of the episode is “I’m no Judas”. Even the final image of the season is a little wooden cross. 


      The actually resolution for the season is slightly disappointing but it has its good moments. The final four episodes of the season start to get very conversation heavy, which was great at first. There’s an episode titled “Arrow on the Door Step” which features Rick sitting down with the Governor, and the bulk of the episode is just these two talking back and forth. Honestly, I loved this, it’s so cool to see the hero and the villain just sit down and talk to each other, plus it just builds up the excitement for when we see these two battle each other. Unfortunately, there isn’t much of a pay off, at least until season 4. After so much buildup and high anticipation, this season ends on a relatively quiet note, the Governor disappears and the town’s people all join Ricks group at the prison. It’s not a bad ending by any means, it just leaves you wishing for a little more kick.  

      As of right now, seasons 4 and 2 are my personal favorite’s of the show so far, but season 3 is still a good fallow up. The story may get really repetitive at times, and the ending could have been a little stronger but it is still very entertaining. It improves on most of the characters, the battles are awesome, the new characters are some of my favorites that the show has to offer and in conclusion, I think this season has a lot more good quality material to offer then not.

The Swan Princess (1994) (Movie Review)


   The 1990’s was the time of the great Disney renaissance, when some of the most beloved Disney animated movies of all-time were being released. Also at this time, several other animated studios like Warner Brothers, Amblin Animation and Don Bluth studios tried desperately to bank the success of those movies by replicating the same winning formula. Most Disney imitators from the 90’s were lousy, lacking the magic that made those films so great. However, there were a handful decent non-Disney animated films that came out around this time, and one that I remember fondly growing up with was the 1994 animated motion picture titled “The Swan Princess”. Even though this wasn’t the most original animated, non-Disney movie, it at least captured a sense of that same Disney magic fairly well, and I still have a soft little Nostalgic spot for it.


   “The Swan Princess” is based on the classic fairytale “Swan Lake”, and slightly based on the ballet of the same title. It was distributed by a company called “Turner Home Entertainment”, which mostly specialized in home video cartoons, so this was a big project for them. The Director of the movie was Richard Rich, who had just left the Disney studio to run his own animated company called “Crest Animation Productions”. Richard Rich was involved in a number of animated Disney movies from the 1970’s and 80’s, in fact he’s probably best known for directing the 1981 Disney classic “The Fox and the Hound”, which is personally one of my favorite Disney movies of all-time. So this guy had a pretty good resume before he took the job, and he certainly knows how to direct an animated phantasy, giving it a magical overtone, and making every shot in the movie a colorful spectacle. The film also provides a talented cast of voice actors including John Cleese, Jack Palance, Steven Wright and even Sandy Duncan, who coincidently also did voice work in “The Fox and the Hound”.


  Here's the set-up, a king and queen from two separate kingdoms want to join their lands together, and the best way to do that is through marring their children. Instead of forcing them to marry, they make the young princess named Odette meet the young prince named Derek every summer in hopes that they will fall in love over time. 
At first they’re annoyed by one another, but naturally they form a strong bound by the time they become adults. Full of blind love, the prince wants to get married right away, but our princess wants to make sure that he loves her for who she is and not just because she’s beautiful. When she asks him, the prince gets cold feet, and can’t find it in himself to give her a proper answer. Feeling ashamed, he goes through an internal struggle to understand his genuine love for her. Before he can get a second chance to redeem himself, the princess is captured by an evil wizard, who aims to use her in a plan to rule the Kingdome. To make sure she never escapes, he places a spell on her that keeps her human as long as she’s on the grounds of swan lake, and if she leaves, she’ll transform into a swan. From that point on we meet colorful characters, battle monsters, sing some catchy songs, and all the good stuff you’d expect from an animated fairytale.  


   While the relationship between the Princess and the Prince isn’t especially captivating, it’s the concept of them trying to understand their love for one another that makes it work. Most movies have the prince and princess falling in love automatically, but in this film, there love is genuine, but they need to discover why it is. This pays off fairly well in the end, and the two characters do share some genuinely sweet scenes together. It isn’t nearly as strong and something like “Beauty and the Beast”, but it works just fine. Prince Derek gives a bad first impression as one who can't look past a woman's beauty, but he gets better, and is a lot more active than most animated prince characters. Princess Odette on the other hand honestly outshines most of Disney’s classic princesses from the 60's. She’s active, she’s smart, she has a sweet voice, she doesn’t complain about her status, she has an excellent design ... it’s everything you’d want from an animated princess and more.   


   As you’d expect from the casting, Jack Palance supplies the voice of the villain, an evil enchanter named Rothbart. While Jack Palance is an awesome actor, and delivers a classy evil voice, the character himself is nothing special. He’s a generic antagonist, with your basic goal of marrying the princess, and taking over the Kingdome ... but again, Jack Palance in the role makes him worthwhile. Some of his magic powers are really cool, and he even has a fun monster form, which is I'll have more to comment on at the end. On the more negative side, his villain song titled “No More Mr. Nice Guy” is one of the stupidest villains songs I’ve ever heard. I'm sure if I look hard enough, I could find something more annoying, but still ... on it's own, this villain number is needlessly long, an overly colorful presentation, and some really stupid lyrics. You can only take a villain so seriously when he sings ... "I intend to eat their lunches".   


  Thankfully, the supporting characters in this film are wonderful. John Cleese and Steven Wright supply the voices of our comedic duo, a frog named Jean-Bob, and a Turtle named Speed. I love these two, as they balance off each other so well with their unique personalities, and antics. I’m not even a fan of Steven Wright, but his dry reads fit the role of a turtle so well, and it’s hard not to love John Cleese, as he’s one of my favorite comedians. There’s also a Puffin character, who can be funny at times, and contributes as the brains of the group. All three are enjoyable to watch, and the situations they get in are a lot of fun. There’s a scene when our swan princess is being held captive in a flooded dungeon, and it’s up to our three hero’s to find a way to break her out. What follows is one of the wildest and most entertaining scenes in the film, as our trio battle ferocious alligators and swim though Swan Lake in an effort to save their captured friend.  


  The pacing in the film is decent, with a very strong start, and a satisfying third act, although the middle act admittedly slows down a little. There's also some inconsistencies in the plot that I found a touch distracting. For example, Princess Odette has a father named King William, who along with his Kingdome are introduced as very important to the film. Without warning, the king is killed about 18 minutes into the movie, and no-one seems to be that bothered by this, as all the characters just go on their marry way like he didn’t matter. No one talks about him, even the Princess never mentions her diseased father once throughout the film. It just kept eating at the back of my mind, doesn’t anyone care about this dead king, and isn’t anyone going to talk about this. We never even find out what happened to his Kingdome, and that’s a huge problem, because the villain’s whole plot is to take over said Kingdome, but we never see it again, and for all we know, the whole realm went under after the king died ... the movie is just really vague on those details.          

    
  It’s also very obvious that many of the scenes in this movie are directly inspired by other Disney movies, with "Sleeping Beauty" being the most direct in several scenes. The climax of the movie is practically a cut in paced of the ending from Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty”, as we have a princess who falls in a sleep like death, a prince riding out to save her, while slashing his way though lots of sharp trees, a villain who transforms into a giant winged monster, and it even wraps up with our hero slaying the monster by impaling it through the heart with a sharp weapon. Now to be fair, it’s still a fun monster fight, the creatures design is cool, and the final scene in which the prince finally understands his love for the princess is genuinely touching. I’d even go so far as to say that this movie has the stronger epilogue then Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty” did. 


  As for the source material, I’ve never actually seen the “Swan Lake” Ballet or listened to the music from that Ballet, so I don’t know for sure how much of the music is original or made for the movie. I will say that I loved the instrumental soundtrack in this film, as it’s all very subtle, relaxing, and fits the film very well. The songs in this film, for the most part are actually quite good. Most of them felt like actual songs you’d hear on a Broadway show, while others felt like footnotes from the studio. 
The opening song titled “This is my Idea” is like a 15 minuet long, set-up musical number, and it’s all conveyed fairly well through some really up-beat music, as well as great character expressions. Other songs like “Princesses on Parade”, and “Practice, Practice, Practice”, have their catchy melody's, but feel kind of pointless in the long run. One of the more clever musical numbers is titled “No Fear”, which is provided by our three fun animal friends as they go on a little min-adventure, which also helped movie the plot forward. My favorite song by far is the duet song between our Prince and Princess titled “Far Longer than Forever”, which was nominated at the Golden Globes. I swear, if this film had been released under the Disney banner, this song would be put amongst some of Disney’s best musical numbers. It’s so simple, yet so uplifting, and it conveys that exact same feel that most of Disney’s popular hits convey. Finally, the most popular song associated with this movie is titled “Eternity”, and performed by a group called Dreams come True, who apparently were really popular at the time. The song itself is good, and it gets one heck of a music video to go along with it, filled with some really creative props and elaborate sets.


   The animation in this movie is honestly some of the most appealing that the early 90's had to offer, before all the digital effects took over. Right from the opening title card, this film is very colorful to look at, with lively and vibrant details all through-out.  
While the plot is nothing out of the box, this movie definitely succeeds at just being a satisfying experience. I really like this world that the film creates, l love looking at all this colorful hand drawn animation, I enjoy listening to the songs, and I do like most of these characters. It may come off as average to a lot of people already familiar with this Disney style formula, but there’s nothing that bad about it either. It’s kind of like ordering an ice cream from a common ice cream shop, you know it’s not going to taste any better or worse than every other ice cream you’ve ordered, but you still enjoy it, and it leaves a good taste in your mouth. Holy cow, after all these years, I think that was my very first food analogy.     


   At the time of its release, there was a lot of publicity surrounding this movie, and while it bombed at the box office, it was a success on the home video market. So much that over the years, it’s grown a fan base, and those of us who've grown up with this movie still have some nostalgic fondness for it. There's even a long running, direct to video series, which is still turning out new releases today. I remember watching the first two way back when, but haven't had any inkling to re-watch them, and I never saw any of the newer films. I still can't believe this series made it to Christmas special status ... that's unbelievable. 


   To sum things up, of all the Non-Disney movies that have tried to recreate the traditional Disney formula, this is arguably one of the better films. In fact, there was another animated movie that came out that same year by Don Bluth titled “Thumbelina”, which was kind of a lousy movie by comparison, and a shameful attempt to cash in on Disney’s successful movies. While “The Swan Princess” isn’t a masterpiece by any means, it’s at least a decent film, with some splendid animation, memorable characters, and plenty worthwhile musical numbers. Despite trying to be the next big Disney movie, it can at least stand on its own as a worthwhile film. If you’re fond of that same formula that made Disney’s animated movies from the 90’s so great, you’ll probably like this non-Disney movie just fine.


Thanks for reading my review of the 1994 animated picture “The Swan Princess” ... and continue to enjoy the movies you love!
