Hi everyone, I know I have been off the radar a little bit, work is hectic for the summer and my manager has given me more hours since it is a busy period which means no time for reading!!! BUT I am back and hopefully with a bang that stays consistent!!!! I actually watched this movie in the cinemas many moons ago and I loved every minute of it!!!!!

This movie is one of the highest grossing film of 2017 and anyone who has watched this movie has no doubt as to why that is. With a stellar cast like Emma Watson, Dan Stevens and Josh Gad who could ever doubt these stars? This epic tale resonated me with me a lot, I actually kind of forgot that Belle loves to read but what a way to be reminded and fall in love with this tale all over again?

Two things stood out for me in this movie; musical performance and visual style. Although in every Disney movie there is always some songs that are played within the movie, I never had any idea this would be the same with actual movie and that too with the actors singing themselves? WOAAAAHHHH!!!! I can't really criticise the musical performance of Emma Watson or Josh Gad since I am no music critic but to me they sounded alright, maybe they will never release an album but for the movie I think it fitted perfectly.  The attention to detail given in this movie is spot on, you can't help with falling in love with this movie. All of the scenes, the CGI was so real like it felt surreal. This is what I love about movies when the the whole production team can make scenes come to life which exactly what happened in this movie. My favourite scene in the movie would be have to be the castle especially when Belle first discovers is? OMG it gives you the creeps (not sure I would have the courage to go there).

The designs, colours and the lavish settings for the dance sequence is my favourite part in the whole movie, when I first saw it in the trailer I was absolutely hooked. How can you not fall in love with it? The design is simple nothing too complicated and they stuck with the outlook of Belle's appearance in the animated movie. I love is so much, secretly I wish the studio would send it to me, here is to wishful thinking.

Dan Stevens who have I never heard of before until now, does impeccable acting of the beast and I absolutely die hard love him now. I am just so amazed with how the creative team made him so beastly like and his acting was phenomenal. At one point I had even wondered if he would ever return to a human again, he made me forget that Disney movies always have a happy ending!

So that is from me this week, I am going to try my best to do stick with the weekly movie reviews.

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday!
