Enchanted: A Movie Review

Enchanted is a Disney movie that is a combination of animation and live action. It starts out pretty common. A prince falls in love with a young maiden named Jazelle. Almost instantaneously they fall in love. His mother, the queen, does not want that to happen. She casts a spell and sends Jazelle to our world.

In our world she meets a lawyer and his daughter. The man is a divorce lawyer. He believes that the world is cruel and nothing lasts forever, especially love. While the prince goes to our world to find her.

At first I did not want to see this movie. It appeared to be another chick flick. There is a lot of romance, but it is very funny. One of my favorite scenes is when Jazelle sings while she cleans. Suddenly a bunch of animals come and help. It seems to that someone who was also involved in Spaceballs might have helped in the production.

This movies has some suggestive themes but there is not a lot of sexually explicit scenes. Unlike most Disney movies, it is not really a children's movie. It gets pretty scary at times. I did not like the scene where the queen morphed into a beast. For the most part I really like it. This is a good movie for husbands and wives to see together because it has something for everyone. She'll love the romance and he'll love the zany humor.

  1. Oh Dan. Look things up before you write. It's Giselle not Jazelle.

    Enchanted is a perfectly nice little chick movie. If you want to see Amy Adams in something more substantial get Julie and Julia.

  2. If you want to find out how to spell a name of a movie or character before you post a blog entry, you can go to www.imdb.com and look it up. It's a very easy-to-use Web site and an excellent fact-checking resource.

  4. Hey Dan--it looks like your twitter account has been hacked, you should update your password ASAP. (Unless you are really hawking erection-sustaining methods...if so good on you, but I'm guessing it's a hack).

    Might be a good time to update your other PWs, including those for other on the home computer, unless you can figure out what led to the account being compromised.

  6. Everything looks good on the Twitter front now. It wouldn't hurt to update PWs for any accounts you're using on the computers where you log into Twitter but usually this is a one-off kind of thing.

    Best of luck--at least you got an obvious guy, the time my accounts were hacked it was "see my pics here--" -- my friends would have known better than to think I had any personal opinions on male genital enhancements :)

  7. I would like to hear what you think a man's role is in his family. I would like to hear what a pastor (which you want to be) says to his wife who lies and cheats. IMO a pastor has to be a leader both of his church and his home. You are letting your wife make all the decisions its seems. So I'd like to know your thoughts on this.

  8. Dan,
    Some one gave your family a wonderful gift of a new mattress for your boys, and your wife thanked her for the BOX and said that she was going to put the mattress on Craig's List. How RUDE. Why are you not standing up to Emily and telling her you'd rather your sons slept on a clean organic mattress than a smelly pee stained one. And then she lies about it.

    I can forgive a lot of things about people but lying and deceit are way high on my list. And Emily does both. Those aren't very good qualities for the wife of a minister.

    Good luck.

  9. Hi Dan
    I sent Emily a message on facebook today and she tried to slam me for listening to other people lying about her. My opinions are solely based on what she writes. I'm appealing to you because you are her husband and as such when there may be a problem at home you really need to see that she gets the medical attention SHE needs as well as the boys. Maybe she is overwhelmed with you working and going to school(which is great that your doing)she is spending all her time with the children and maybe she needs some time away. Every stay at home mom needs some alone time to regroup. There are many people who are concerned for your family, please take the advice into consideration. Emily told me that you all didn't need another crib mattress so that is why she is getting rid of the new mattress. If I was given a new mattress for one of my children I would get rid of one of the older ones we already had. That's common sense.

  10. Emily is the type of person who cannot handle having a blog. It's bad enough that she's a non-mainstream extremist who enjoys shocking people. But she's also someone who can't handle any criticism whatsoever and reacts in a nasty manner when criticized. It also doesn't help that she doesn't think logically. She also leaves details out of her posts and then insists that those details are there when she's called out.

    Dan, as a husband and father myself, I implore you to take control of your wife. She cannot handle being online. She spends an inordinate amount of her day on the computer between writing posts, reading comments and responding to comments. And that's just on her blog, she spends even more time reading other blogs, message boards and so on.

    Worse, it's pretty obvious that she spends a good deal of the day angry or irritated with those who leave notes, thinking about how to respond and thinking about what outrageous thing to write about next. In other words, your wife isn't spending time doing what she really needs to be doing. She's wasting her time on online nonsense. I encourage you to put a stop to this. It isn't good for your wife, it isn't good for your family and it isn't good for the sanctity of Christendom.

  11. Dan, my two children are much older now - 12 and 15 and don't require nearly as much constant attention/supervision as they did at 5, 3, and 5 months (sorry if I'm off by a bit). When my kids were little, I was a stay at home mom, like Emily. Staying home with kids is the very hardest, most demanding job I have ever had - and I am not a slacker.

    I PROMISE you that if Emily is spending as much time on the computer as it's obvious she is, then your children are being ignored and neglected.

    It would appear that the two of you have a somewhat functional relationship and she's said that she believes that you're the smartest person she knows. Please use that position to help her understand that it is NOT OK for her to ignore her children in favor of spending time on the computer, creating and responding to all the drama that surrounds her. The most important thing in your lives should be your children. Ignoring them is MUCH worse than even rejeting a top of the line organic mattress, that was sent with only the very best intention.

    Help her to get help! For the sake of your chidren!

    With respect,
    L

  12. I find it very sad that Emily has removed your blog listing from her site. Is she trying to isolate you? I'm sure she is trying to keep folks she doesnt like from you but is that fair to you? Shouldnt you be able to decide who reads/writes here? She is controlling you Dan. You're a nice fella and should not be manipulated by your wife.

  13. Sorry to be a pest but I forgot to ask this earlier...has the lamp hanging in the bathroom been removed and the ceiling light fixed? since seeing that on emily's post I have been concerned about one of you suffering from electrical shock! I sure hope its been fixed and any other things the landlord needs to take care of. I know i have to pester mine for days to get some things done.
    Whats your favorite verse?

  14. yes the lamp has been removed. the light has been fixed.

  15. the only reason she removed me form the blog role is that she types the papers so she knows that i wrote the, it is not a big deal.

  16. Whew! Glad to know the light was fixed!

    Favorite verse? Parable? If you could choose one parable and relate it to today which one would you choose and how would you relate it to todays world? (a post subject perhaps?)

  17. Dan can you clarify what you wrote at 6:26? What does Emily know that you wrote?

    And what about the mattress? Are you not the least bit grateful that people are concerned about your children? If you ever get a pastorate, you'll have a lot more busy bodies up close and personal than on a blog. And they'll be a lot more vocal about what is going on in your home and in your life.

    I am glad that you got the light fixed.

    Please take care of your kids. You love them and they need you.

  18. I see Emily has decided to remove your blog from her list of links. She's controlling you Dan. She wants to keep you away from dissenting opinion about her. She's isolating you from others.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Dan, your explanation of why she removed you from her blog doesn't make sense. Isn't the point of having you on the blog so that others can see your blog? That's just silly.

  21. Dan how much longer are you going to allow you family to be put in risk for Emily's online dramas? People know where you live, work, and go to school. There is a lot of really crazy people out and Emily thinks its a game it is NOT a game you want to play.

    You really need to ask yourself if what is going on because of this blog is Godly or being a good Christian.

    Having a blog is fine but Emily needs to make it PRIVATE before something happens and you and your children are put in serious danger. Its time to grow up

  22. Dan, your wife made some really nasty comments to some one that made a simple suggestion on her blog.

    If she treats suggestions like that, how is she going to act to congregants, that will have no problems criticizing your pastorate or your lifestyle? You will not have a pastorate for long if she acts that way.

  23. what sugestions did she get ansty at. what was her nasty coments?

  24. my feverate verse is romans 8:1. it reminds me that although we fail if we are in christ there is no condemnation and are wlaking with him.

  25. Well one nasty comment she made was when she called everyone who used Angel Food Ministries lazy. When you become a pastor, how do you think it will make people in your congregation who use AFM feel knowing that your wife called them names on the internet?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Uh, read her comments to today's post. People called her out on how nasty it was.

    6:26 was a typo for 6:23. Your comment made no sense. Why does it matter that she has read your posts already? Isn't the point of having your blog link to hers so that OTHER people will read your writings.

    Also, Emily is most definitely not walking with Christ.

  27. what coment was this? was this on twiter face book or the blog? i dont think it maters if she has me on her blog role or not. i dont think it is a big deal.

    ReplyDelete
  28. It was this post on her blog Dan:
    http://under1000permonth.blogspot.com/2009/12/angel-food-ministries.html

    As someone who has had to use AFM and explained on her blog how I wasn't lazy and it came out cheaper for me to do this, I would never stay at a church where the pastor's wife called me names. Even if I hadn't of used it before, I wouldn't stay at a church where the pastor's wife was so openly hateful.

  29. Dude, Dan, really? The comment on this page of your blog, that you wrote at 6:23. It didn't make sense.

    ReplyDelete
  30. The comment at 6:23 made total sense. The lamp is gone, the light is fixed. That directly answered the question on if the lamp was gone and the overhead light fixed. Maybe you meant the comment at 6:26?

    It is odd that she removed him because she has read the post. If that was the case, she never would have put his blog on her roll anyway because she has typed his posts for a very long time. I think she didn't want her "fans" over here.
