Newsies

I didn't actually watch a movie this weekend but last weekend on our way to Denver we watched a lot of movies. So the movie I am going to talk about is Newsies. This was the first time seeing this movie and I thought it was really good and  Iwould like to see it agian. Newsies came out in 1992. It is a Disney movie about the 1899 newsboys stike. It was directed by Kenny Ortega, written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White. It stars Christian Bale, Bill Pullman and Robert Duvall.

This movie all starts with the CEO of the newspaper raising the price of the distrobution price of the paper and the boys not having enough money to get the newspapers. So instead of going with the flow the boys plan a strike. Along the way the boys get into trouble and things get messier then they planned it would get. But if you want to find out what happens at the end watch it because it is really good.

The Beauty and the Beast

This weekend the fine arts of Belle Fourche High School went to Denver for our Senior Trip. It was a lot of fun and a lot of differnet culture. The high light of our weekend because it is my favorite disney movie growing up. This movie is now a Broadway hit and was one of the only Disney Movies to be nominated for a Tony Award.

This musical is about a prince who has been cursed because he wouldn't let the old lady in. With this curse the Beast had to love another and that person will have to love him back. Belle is another odd person in her town because she loves to read books. At the beginning of Belle being in the castle things start off on a bad foot and when he realizes that Belle is here for a reason and lesson the end up falling in love. If you haven't seen the movie you should and if you ever get the chance to see the musical definitely go because it is way better than the movie.

The Lion King

Hello everybody, I know last weed was a rough week for all of us and when I feel down I put the movie the Lion King. This is my favorite movie besides Beauty and the Beast will talk about next week because I have a chance to see it live. Now to get back to the movie I watched this week it did make me feel a little better and I hope it can make you better too.

The Lion King PosterThis movie was released in 1994 and was directed by Roger Allens, and Rob Minkoff. This movie is a play on Hamlet by William Shakespeare. If you don't know Hamlet and you have never seen this movie it is about two brothers and one of them is King and the other one is in line if the King and the Prince die. The brother plans to kill both of them at the same time but fails to do so and only kills the King and then frames it on the prince. The movie is a little different because Simba runs away after Scar his uncle told him that he killed his father and Simba ran away. You will have to see what happens if you haven't seen it you have to because I am not going to tell you how it ends.

Tarzan

This weekend  I watched Tarzan. Tarzan is a disney film and was made in 1999. This movie is one of my favorites mostly because of the clothes but it has a really good meaning and the music works well with the movie.

This movie is about a couple and a baby (Tarzan) who escaped a burning boat and landed on a near by
File:Tarzan (1999 film) - theatrical poster.jpg island. This family made a life on the island, built a home even, and one day a cheetah came by and killed the parents. Tarzan was hidden so the cheetah didn't find him until Kala who will be Tarzan mom who is a gorilla. So Kala raises Tarzan till he is grown up with his friends Tantor and Terk. But the gorillas life would soon change because not far from the some English explorers are here to see what the island is made of. The main explorers are Professor Porter, Jane Porter, and head hunter Clayton. Jane and Tarzan meet fall in love and Tarzan learns more about where he came from and if you haven't seen this movie you need to it should be in every kids movie collection.
