Little Women (2019) Revitalizes A Classic for A New Generation

Image
Sony Pictures Releasing Every generation of bookworms experience a new adaptation of Little Women.  As Hollywood brings author Louisa May Alcott's tale to the big screen for the seventh time, it's easy to believe the beloved story fulfills another quota for the reboot machine. Unlike most recent flailing remakes that fail to step out of the box or honor the original, director Greta Gerwig instills enough changes to revitalize the classic as well as stick to its roots. Set during the Civil War, the March sisters face trials and tribulations with their place in the world. While Jo (Saoirse Ronan) aspires to be an independent writer, she struggles alongside her sisters Amy (Florence Pugh), Beth (Eliza Scanlen), and Meg (Emma Watson) to follow their passions or find economic stability through marriage.

I also completed a 30 day Yoga with Adrienne challenge - I missed a few days but instead of giving up, I pushed through. Now I do yoga a few times a week ...

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019) Malfunctioned Beyond All Repair

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Since legendary filmmaker George Lucas changed movie history with a little space opera called Star Wars (1977), generations of fans have been obsessed with the imaginative sci-fi universe he created.  Slated to tell the story of the Skywalker clan over the course of nine movies, it’s been written in the stars that the epic saga would eventually close this chapter forever. Expected to stick the franchise’s landing with the latest trilogy  The Force Awakens  (2015) and The Last Jedi  (2017), its final film  The Rise of Skywalker is not the finale many of us were looking for. In 2015, the Star Wars legacy was reignited with director and writer JJ Abrams’s  The Force Awakens . A ragtag group of heroes fighting against the Empire 2.0 hit too close to home with  A New Hope , but offered a chance to connect with a younger generation of characters and explore new plots. Namely, why did Luke Skywalker disappear? How di...
