ABOUT “MALEFICENT”:
Explore the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain in this wickedly fun twist on the classic “Sleeping Beauty.” In an unforgiving mood after a neighboring kingdom threatens her forest, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) places an irrevocable curse on the king’s newborn daughter, the Princess Aurora. But as the child grows, Maleficent finds herself becoming fond of the girl. And as the conflict between the two realms intensifies, Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land. Journey beyond the fairy tale in this soaring adventure that is “visually arresting, brilliantly designed” (Andrew Barker, Variety).
I sat down to watch this with my two youngest thinking I might get a little work done on my computer as well. I didn’t get a single word typed.
MALEFICENT captured my attention and kept it. I love how the story of Sleeping Beauty was expanded and that we, the viewers, now get a closer glimpse into Maleficent’s life and heart.
Angelina Jolie was more than perfect in this role and breathtakingly beautiful. I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Being able to watch her relationship with Aurora grow and change from birth to age sixteen was delightful and tugged at my heart. Although greatly wronged, Maleficent’s side of the story made perfect sense and I loved the turn of events at the end (sorry, no spoilers here 😉 ).
This is one movie I intend to watch several more times. There is so much going on, you are sure to see or catch something new each time you view.

I love this movie. I am anxiously waiting to buy it. I am not a huge fan of Angelina Jolie but she was great in this movie.
We saw Maleficent in theaters and really enjoyed it. Definitely a film we would like to own and enjoy as a family for years to come.
