DVD Review: The Librarians Season 1 Episode 6 "And The Fables Of The Doom" [Emz]

So this was an interesting episode.. a little cringe worthy and very funny.

Here is the Synopsis:

The librarians travel to a town where fairy tales come to life and attack.

Review:

So this episode was really good in some places but very cheesy in others. The team investigate the fact that a troll dumped a man in the lake in his truck. They find a massive fingerprint on said truck. Ezekiel and Eve find the Troll.

Meanwhile, whilst Cassandra and Jake talk with the Sheriff about the strange goings on in the town, they are interrupted by the town mayor seemingly unaware that he is completely naked.

This leads to bigger problems. Jake kills a massive Wolf. It seems that all the townsfolk are slowly turning into fairy tale characters. 

Jenkins names the book that they should look for as the "Libris Fabula."

Whilst some of the team interview the local Librarian about the book, Ezekiel meets a dying child called Jessie in the hospital. He teaches her how to pick locks and somehow figures out she is being drained by the book.

After rejoining the team and getting arrested, the Sheriff (who turns out to be Jessie's father) turns into the Big Bad Wolf.

The team are beginning to turn into fairy-tale characters Eve becomes the princess, Cassandra becomes Prince Charming, this explains why she was being hit on by lots of women earlier in the story. Jake is the Huntsman and Ezekiel is Jack, the nimble thief.

In the end, Ezekiel finds out that the Librarian is draining Jessie of her life force. he manages to distract him and gets Jessie to change the story and end it. 

The Librarian ends up inside the book.

I enjoyed this story, It was a little cheesy though. The way Eve turned into a Princess and constantly giggled and the way Cassandra became Prince Charming.

It was rather funny though the way that the Town Mayor ended up walking around naked, it wasn't hard to remember The Emperor's new clothes.

Till Next Time

This simple task turns into an amazing adventure filled with ogres, giant, wicked stepsister and the handsome princes evil uncle.

Review

Ella enchanted is a fill good movie that all the family can sit down and enjoy. There are places where you can tell that they CGI as they are not amazing, but in all fairness for a 2004 film where some CGI techniques was still new. So I guess for that year it was about average.

The overall story line was lovely about understanding how lucky we are to be able to choose in what wrong and right as there are some people in the world who not as free in doing what they want to do.

It about listening to your heart, as there are times where your heart might say something stupid but in reality you know in your mind that your heart is right.

Overall I give this film a 4/5 stars.

Top 10 Upcoming Disney Films I'm Looking Forward To [Emz]

There are a lot of movies by Disney that are going to be released over the next few years and below are the one's i'm really looking forward to. This includes Marvel Movies.

Some may lap over from my previous post about movies before the end of 2017.

1.Thor: Ragnarok

Release Date: 27th October 2017 (UK)

So this is the third and possibly final Thor film. 

It takes place before Avengers: Infinity War.  It looks really good but there appear to be funny moments included. 

I also remember reading that Doctor Strange will have a Cameo in this film. Obviously we know that Bruce Banner/ Hulk will be in the film as well.

Obviously he will be without the famous hairstyle and weapons and with Cate Blanchett as the Villian this will be one interesting film.

2.Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Release Date: 15th December 2017

So we have had to wait 2 years for the follow-up to The Force Awakens, i'm sure it will be worth the wait.

The only sad thing is that Carrie Fisher will not appear in the follow-up to this film after her sad death last year

After watching Teaser Trailer for this I have been slowly getting more and more excited.

Roll on Christmas time.

3. Black Panther

Release Date: 16th February 2018

So From what i've seen and heard, this film will be really good. It has a few names in it that a recognise Such as Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o and Forest Whittaker.

I'm hoping for good things after the stint he had in Captain America: Civil War.

4.  A Wrinkle in Time

Release Date: 9th March 2018

So I don't know an awful lot about this film, but I know it has an all-star cast. From Oprah Winfrey to Reese Witherspoon. It also stars Chris Pine and Mindy Kaling.

This is the Premise:

After learning that her astrophysicist father is being held captive on a planet that houses all the evil in the universe, Meg Murray works with her brother Charles Wallace, her classmate Calvin O'Keefe and three astral travelers to save him.

5. Avengers: Infinity War

Release Date: 27th April 2018

This film is one that I am so looking forward to. I remember watching the first Avengers Film and thinking it was brilliant. I am more than ready for this one.

Here is the Premise: 

Four years after the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the Avengers, torn apart after the events of Captain America: Civil War, join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy to battle Thanos, who is trying to amass the Infinity Stones for a gauntlet that will allow him to inflict his will on all reality.

6. Star Wars: Han Solo 

Release Date: 25th May 2018

There isn't alot known about this film yet. The title is self-explanatory so, we know who it is about though.

It has quite a few well-known names in this film: Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Woody Harrleson and Thandi Newton.

Here is the Premise:

Themed as a space Western, the film is centered on a young Han Solo, the roguish smuggler who later meets Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars (1977), and his adventures with his Wookiee partner Chewbacca, including their encounter with Lando Calrissian.

7. The Incredibles 2

Release Date: 15th June 2018

So I can't even remember how long it's been since the first one was released, but I seriously cannot wait for this film! Ok so I just looked it up and it is about 14 years (2004).

This film is supposed to carry on from the last one. I'll have to make sure I've watched the first one again before I go and see it.

Here is the synopsis on the movie:

The Incredibles 2 follows the adventures of the Parrs, a family of Supers (humans with super abilities). The Parrs include the father, Bob, also known as Mr. Incredible who possesses super strength, Helen, his wife also known as Elastigirl for the ability to stretch her body, and their children Violet, who can become invisible and project force fields, Dash, who possesses super speed, and Jack-Jack, their infant who can transform into a number of forms. The sequel will start "a minute" after the end of the first film, according to Pixar's chief creative officer John Lasseter, where the Parrs are just about to face the Underminer.

8. Ant-Man & The Wasp

Release Date: 6th July 2018

After watching the first film, I am really looking forward to how this film goes. With Michelle Pfeiffer joining the cast as Janet Van Dyne. This should be one brilliant film.

Here is the Premise:

Set after the events of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang tries to balance his home life as a father with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, when Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym present him with a new mission, requiring him to team up with van Dyne as the Wasp.

9. Captain Marvel

Release Date: 8th March 2019 (UK)

There is no current Plot for this film but hey it's got to be good it's Marvel's first Female Superhero movie. I'm a little bummed that we have to wait till 2019 but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

We know that Brie Larson was cast in the main role and that it is rumoured to be set in the 1990's.

10. Mulan

Release Date: 20th December 2019

 I don't know alot about the live action version of this film. But I hope it is brilliant as I love Mulan. It is one of my favourite Disney films.

Here is a very basic summary of what the movie is about

A young Chinese maiden disguises herself as a warrior in order to save her father.

I sadly couldn't post them all but these are my current 10.

Are there any I haven't put down that you are looking forward to by Disney?
