In this latest trailer for the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) we see the actual BFG for the first time. I have read part of this book to the kids and it is interesting seeing how it is being made into a movie and I like how it looks. So far there are a lot of shadows and mystery but I expect to see more color and reveals to come. Take a look at the trailer and then below there is more information about the movie.
RUBY BARNHILL stars as Sophie in Disney’s fantasy-adventure THE BFG, directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl.
The other day a teaser trailer for the movie “The BFG” was released. This is a movie that is coming from Disney on July 1, 2016. The movie is based on the book by Roald Dahl who was a contemporary of Walt Disney. The movie is being directed by Steven Spielberg and looks to be interesting. Check out the trailer below.
WALT DISNEY and ROALD DAHL, two of the world’s greatest storytellers, in Hollywood in 1942.
On Wednesday night last week Allison and I had cleared out our DVR and we decided that it was a good night to watch E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. I had received a copy of it on Blu-ray to review. The movie arrives in stores on October 9th for the first time on Blu-ray. It was fun to see this movie again because it was such a big movie when I was a kid. When you think of great Spielberg movies E.T. is one of the tops because of the capture of wonder, emotion and heart in this movie.
In High School one of my teachers used this movie to teach about unconditional love. We studied the movie and all the aspects of how love was portrayed. It was one of the first times that I really looked at some of the deeper themes of a movie and have always remembered E.T. for that reason.
I really want to share the movie with Eva but she is just so sensitive and there are part of the movie that I think will really scare her. I remember as a kid that I got scared right off the bat when Elliot throws the baseball into the shed and it gets thrown back at him. Maybe it was the fog and the fact that Elliot freaks out and runs into the house that made me nervous and scared. I don’t know exactly what it is but I can anticipate that Eva would be afraid of E.T. probably up until the point when Gertie teaches E.T. to talk. I know that Eva will love Gertie. She might like this little clip below.
What I think will make her most upset is seeing E.T. dying. To see the sadness in the family as they experience E.T. dying and especially when Gertie sees the doctors using the crash cart paddles on E.T. may be tough for her to watch. I watched some of the DVD extras and listening to Drew Barrymore speak about being in that scene and how she really thought E.T. was being hurt made her reaction so raw and real that she physically jumped when the paddles were used. That, I think will make Eva most upset, so I think we’ll hold off for a little while longer before she sees the movie. Continue reading Blu-ray Review: E.T.
