(L_R) AMY ADAMS
Enchanted
I probably shouldn’t like this film as much as I do, considering that I’m far older than I assume the target demographic is. I can’t help it though, it’s like a visual good mood pill. I mean come on, there’s singing, dancing, cartoon animals, and a talking chipmunk, not to mention the fact that Amy Adams’ Giselle is basically sunshine in human form.
Her optimism and willingness to believe the good in people, throughout, even melts the heart of Patrick Dempsey’s closed off divorce lawyer. It’s evident from the outset who Giselle will ultimately end up with, but James Marsden’s turn as the formerly animated prince who is Giselle’s fiance, is a lot of fun to watch.
I loved the fact that the end of the film, rather than having Dempsey rescue Adams, the writers opted to have Giselle be the one with the sword, who slew the evil dragon.
There’s a lot of different fairy tales referenced, in fun ways, such as Adams singing to animals to help clean like Snow White, but getting pigeons, rats and cockroaches because she’s in modern day New York. The scene in the park where Adams inspires others to sing, is a lot of fun as well.
Always makes me smile

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things.
The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at.
It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track.
I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
