About Mr. Bee




Well, as many of you might know, I am coming up on a year on this blog. Since then, I have grown (my blog) slowly but surely. So, I was recently thinking to myself, I have never really told my readers about me, Mr. Bee. So, I thought that today would be the perfect time to do it.

Now, I'm not going to tell you EVERYHTHING about me. There are two reasons for that; first of all, it would take you five years to read it. Second of all, I don't want people stalking me (that doesn't mean that my readers are psychos, but I just don't want to take any chances). So, let's begin.

  • I am 16 years old at the time I am writing this
  • I am a freshman in high school
  • I live in upstate New York

I also have mitochondrial disease, but don't feel sorry for me. It is just something that I have to live with.

Now you might be wondering, “Why did he start his blog up in August?” I started it in August because that's when I finally got around to it. As for why I started up my blog, period. Well, I want to be a professional movie critic. As for why I want to become a movie critic, it's because I have always had a love for movies. As I recently mentioned, I have mitochondrial disease, so I have spent a lot of time sick in the hospital where all I really could do is watch movies. Now, I could read a book, but there's one slight problem; I can't read. As for why I can't read, I have no idea. My reading disability does not affect my intelligence though; it just makes it more difficult for me to get or communicate information.

Now, I am going to tell you my goals for the future (no surprise here, they all have something to do with movies). Now, in the future, I am going to start a YouTube channel. I hope to have this up-and-running by my senior year of high school (don't hold me to that). Now, I don't know if I am going to go to college for yet, but if I do, I'm going to do journalism and public speaking (pretty ambitious for someone who admitted that he couldn't read, huh?). Eventually, I want to start up a late-night movie talk show where all that I do is talk about movies and the movie industry. I might have a round-table discussion on a controversial issue in the movie industry or predict winners to award shows. And what is the groundbreaking idea for the show to be called? “Movies, Movies, and More Movies (with Mr. Bee)”. When that is successful, I plan on starting up a 24-hour movie news channel. So, of course I, myself, will not be on there 24/7, but I am going to have various hosts. And what am I going to call this groundbreaking network? “The Movie News Network”(MNN). Yeah, the titles are still a work in progress.

Well, thank you to everybody that has read or is reading right now. And here's hoping for 1 more year! Goodnight and Bee Happy!

"The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water"


 
 


Welcome to this very special bonus review of a movie that I was able to see in the theaters over Mothers' Day Weekend (2015). And that movie that I was able to see was The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Now, before I get into this, I would like to tell you about my relationship with Spongebob (no, we are not romantically involved). But, like a lot of people, I grew up with the show. Spongebob first debuted when I was 6 months old (in 1999). For those that suck at math (like me), I am 16. But, anyways, I grew up watching Spongebob quite regularly growing up. However, around 2008 or so, I sort of lost interest. Part of it might have to do with the show's creator Stephen Hillenburg leaving the show around that time. But, granted, that was also around the time that I started losing interest in my other childhood shows on Nickelodeon such as Fairly Odd Parents and Jimmy Neutron, but that's a story for another day. Okay, let's begin.
BACKGROUND
Well, unfortunately, I didn't have much time to research this, so this background I'm going to keep blank. But, my friend, Jen did do a very good blog about the show's history http://jenspalik.blogspot.com/2015/01/why-i-love-spongebob.html

PLOT
Now the plot of this movie is roughly about the “crabby paddy's” secret formula being stolen by a pirate called “Burger Beard”.
OPINION

Well, for the first time in about 7 years, if felt like “spongebob”. This is a feeling that I haven't felt since 2008! But, they found a way to do that. Part of the reason may be because Stephen Hillenburg is back to write the script for the new movie. But the movie was fresh, funny, and it kept the spongebob brand of humor that was missing in the newer episodes. But, some people might be disappointed that there wasn't enough live-action scenes as the trailers implied. Most of the movie was set in the Bikini Bottom, and the animation is the same-old animation that we see in the show. They don't even go onto the surface until the last half-hour. So, most of the animation in the movie is hand drawn much like we see in the show, and not CGI. But, when they finally do go to the surface, that's when the CGI kicks in. Now, is that a bad thing? Well, no, if you're a big Spongebob fan. If your not, then you shouldn't be watching this movie in the first place. I was going to give the movie 4-stars, but as a Spongebob fan, I am proud to bestow this movie the highest honor that I can give - the covetted 5 STAR rating. Goodnight, and Bee Happy!

“Peter Pan Live!”



Welcome to this special review of Peter Pan Live!...no the review is not live, but the movie, that I am reviewing used to be live (or at least was recorded live). Now, as recently announced this movie was the winner of the poll that I did a few months back. I would like to thank everybody that participated in my end of the year poll. So, let's begin!
Background

After the success of The Sound of Music Live!, just one month later, NBC (in January of 2014) announced that their next musical would be none other than Peter Pan! They hired back Craig Zadan and Neil Meron as executive producers. Then, a couple of months later, they hired Allison Williams and Christoper Walken to be Peter Pan and Captain Hook respectfully.
Plot

Seriously?! If you don't know the plot of Peter Pan by now, you are living under a rock!

Opinion:
Let's start with set design. The set design for this production is marvelous. The choreography was wonderful. Okay, you want to talk about Christopher Walken? Let's talk about Christopher Walken. He did a really good job. He was sort of like Willy Wonka in the opening scene of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when he seemed like a feeble old man but was actually spry. Alison Williams did a really good job as well. I think that she was better than Carrie Underwood in The Sound of Music Live!! Then again, Carrie Underwood NAILED the singing part while her acting, on the other hand, was MEH. But, I'm getting off topic.
I am going to give you a couple of nitpicks here: Now, this has basically nothing to do with the show itself. NBC, why do stretch the special out for 3 hours?! I do not care for the fact that it seemed dragged out just to get the sponsorships in. Oh, and here's another thing. On the DVD, why don't they have a scene selection.

That's my review of Peter Pan Live! Thank you once again for everyone that voted. And I will definitely be doing another end of the year show next year. But I still have many other blogs to get through before that. Now, I am proud to give Peter Pan Live the highest rating that I can bestow: five gold stars! Goodnight and Bee Happy!
