These are two movies you perhaps wouldn't consider comparing. I thought the same. However, after watching Wonka, I found myself subconsciously comparing it to the previously released Journey to Bethlehem. Both movies are musicals, both were released at the end of 2023; what more do I need to be able to compare them?
COMPARED
Special reviews with all the elements of my regular reviews but being compared with at least one other similar piece of media
Barbenheimer COMPARED
This is a review I am somewhat nervous to write. Barbie and Oppenheimer are undoubtedly the two biggest movies of the year and were released on the same day. This sparked the 'Barbenheimer' trend with many people choosing to watch these two movies on the same day. These two movies are incredibly different, and it is almost impossible...
STAR WARS: VISIONS COMPARED
Star Wars: Visions is a new kind of Star Wars tv show. It sees many different animation studios from around the world showcase their interpretation of the Star Wars galaxy.
A new Star Wars tv show called Andor comes out this Wednesday. The show follows the character of Cassian Andor from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. A few weeks ago, we went and saw Rogue One at IMAX as part of my Only The Best Movies Club. And although I've seen the movie...
I recently watched The Dressmaker. I wrote a review of it and quickly gave it my second-lowest rating ever of 3.5/10. A week later, I watched the incredible film The Notebook. As I started writing the review, I subconsciously started comparing the two movies. Instead of allowing The Dressmaker to undeservingly take a spot of my...
JURASSIC PARK COMPARED
For those who aren't aware, the Jurassic Park movie is based on a novel written by Michael Crichton. I have no idea how many times I have seen Jurassic Park but I'm still not sick of it. I have just finished reading the original Jurassic Park novel for the second time. I thought it would be interesting to compare the novel to the movie. If ...
FROZEN COMPARED
Frozen is a movie that most people around the world have seen or at least heard of. If you have five to ten-year-old children then you can probably sing "Let It Go" word for word. But for those who have (unfortunately) not seen Frozen, it follows two princesses: one who has magical powers, Elsa, and one who does not,...
HAMILTON COMPARED
Hamilton is an extremely popular musical blending hip-hop and R&B with traditional musical theatre styles to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the key founding fathers of the United States. Hamilton is currently playing at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne, as well as at other locations around the world. I had the amazing opportunity...
If you know me personally, then you know that I love musicals. The past two years have been a hard time for musical lovers like me. Theatres, similar to cinemas, have obviously been closed for a long time. But movies can still be viewed at home on DVD or on streaming services. Musicals can't be viewed at home the...
STAR WARS: REBELS Full Series (PG) COMPARED
Star Wars: Rebels is another popular animated Star Wars tv show. The show is set during the time between Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. It follows a group of rebels as they fight the evil Galactic Empire and the challenges they encounter.
