I was a tad late to the show, I recently finished it in September of 2023. This show had me hooked the entire time. Casting was fantastic, not one bad actor. I loved the brothers and their 1x1 conversations, felt very natural and real. I wasn't a fan of the swearing but it felt like each time they did it had a purpose. I'm team Sam because I agreed with his idea that not all Monsters deserve to die but Dean never listened and killed everyone in sight. This made me mad in a good way. Wasn't upset with the show but with the characters, which made me more involved. The CGI was the only thing that could have been better. Not terrible but when it got to the seasons made in 2018 and so on, I thought there would be some improvement. The scenes, color pallet were always beautiful. There's this tiktok that goes through the rainbow and shows scenes that fit each color. It's truly a sight to behold.

Long ago, I would say 6ish years ago- my father found this show and bought the series. Since we live in America, non of my fellow friends ever heard of it but TBH my brother and I loved it. It is a fantastic story concept and the actors (being all kids) were very talented. Now I am 20 years old and am able to see the defaults in the show. Again the story and cast are great but the production value is a little disappointing. Also the music choices are lacking a little bit.

Okay so I'm going to sound rude but this isn't that good of a film. I watch the 1990s version every holiday season and I love it. It makes me feel warmth and safe. When I watched this version, I felt the complete opposite- so much drama that it felt like the writers wanted to fit it in with the currant life style of women now a days instead of keeping it OG from the 1900s. Normally that's not a bad thing but since the book is set in the old days, I felt the movie should have kept that vibe too. The costumes were cute, the actresses are talented but the whole thing didn't bring the same positive emotions as the OG film.

One of the best movies to ever be made. First off great casting, both have amazing singing voices that match the look of their characters. The animation is on point for 2010- it's realistic but also cartoonish-nice mix. The soundtrack is super catchy. Mixed with a musical soundtrack vibe but also a folk, pop beat. The attention to foreshadowing is impressive. For example: When Flynn and Rapunzel are rowing to the middle of the lake, we see a boat that has a horse on it- that scene ends with Flynn tied up on the same boat...super detailed and well thought out. I love that we see a scene with the king & queen, it brings a full circle cast to the show.

I'm so sick of all these covers of Cinderella. The OG and live action were great and kept the organ. I also loved the Hilary Duff version, for it's love and self empowerment caused a great story. But like, stop it-I feel this empowers the LGBTQ+ which is nice but also adds stereotypes which are 100% false. Like, trying to0 much-I say yes. Also, I envy Camila for being a great singer and for having the guts to try acting but I don't think she belongs on the main screen,

“Let It Snow” is a perfect movie for any young adult who wants to spend their free time during this Winter season watching a relatable, hilarious, and romantic 2019 Netflix original. This epic film contains a wonderful modern cast including; Isabela Merced, Kiernan Shipka, and Mitchell Hope while also having actress legend Joan Cusack sneak in some scenes as a weird woman addicted to tin foil. The film is set during a huge winter storm on Christmas Eve in a midwestern town, where a group of high school students live. Before that day, each kid never really connected personally with one another but somehow due to the weather they all learned how to accept each other, and find true love within themselves or from their perfect partner. The cast contains eight main characters and with the help of the wonderful director Luke Snellin, the audience can watch each one develop as a human from beginning to end. The film shows the struggling relationship between best friends Angie (Kiernan Shipka) and Tobin (Mitchell Hope) who are having trouble deciding if what they have is more than friend material while with the help of Jp Lapierre (Mathew Noszka) who falls in love with Angie, Tobin starts acting differently mainly because he’s jealous. Stunning Julie Reyes (Isabela Merced) doesn’t truly know what she wants in life but that all ends when she meets famous singer Stuart Bale (Shameik Moore), who shows her what being alive really means. A magical love triangle and two friends who help one another, what more stunning stories can fit in this one and a half hour movie? Well, the fun doesn’t stop there because love is in the snow. Dorrie (Liv Hewson) is a smart, creative, and kind girl who’s gay. Madly in love with popular miss wanna be desired Kerry (Anna Akana), she loses sight of what really matters in the world which is her relationship with best friend Addie (Odeya Rush). This wonderful masterpiece hits a lot of issues that teens and young adults face daily in the real world while discussing them in a refreshing way. So many young people are going through life as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, so what better way to support them than by saying that it’s accepted in a movie made for their generation? Dorrie isn’t just another character on a screen but is a voice for all the kids who have been told it’s not all right to be themselves. She learns to love, accept, and appreciate herself while gaining an understanding that she’s not alone in a world of missy moments. The film doesn’t just contain great actors, a fantastic soundtrack and hilarious moments. It also has a full ninety minutes of beautiful settings of snowy nature, cozy houses, and the Waffle Town diner which is where the movie ends. While watching the cast travel through town in the pure white snow, a desire for winter creeps in real fast. The scenes of Christmas colors, steaming hot cocoa, and sweatshirt weather resemble a perfect holiday season that all would love to live through. Even though the film was made almost one year ago, so many topics discussed in it are still very relatable to people now. It’s also just a fun, positive, appropriate movie to watch under the warm covers on a cold snowy day. The emotional, creative, and well-written romance in “Let It Snow” makes it highly recommended for all audiences.
