Over the weekend I watched both the new, live action Mulan, and Jim Carrey's How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Mulan, while not anywhere close to a perfect film, was very good with some gorgeous cinematography and interesting fight choreography. Glad they fit in orchestral versions of the original songs where they could, and didn't try to force or rely on them. Ultimately I found it to be one of the better Disney live action films. I'd rank it just under The Jungle Book, which I believe is the best live action remake Disney has come out with.
Grinch, meanwhile, needs no introduction. It's one of the most beloved Christmas movies out there, and it's yearly viewing for me. I'm astounded at how well every single piece of this film holds up even today. Plus you can tell that Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen were having a blast in their scenes together.
