Troll in Central Park

A description of this movie that I found online: A friendly troll with a magic green thumb grows one flower too many for the queen, whose laws require all trolls to act meanly, be ugly and scare humans whenever possible. As a punishment, he is exiled to a world of concrete, where he should live a life of proper trolldom: Manhattan. But of all places, his pod lands in Central Park, where he feels right at home. He befriends a young brother and sister, out for the day unknown to their parents, and must immediately protect them from the queen's attack. In the process, the boy learns responsibility, and the unpopular queen is overthrown. I don't think this does the movie justice. The plot is wonderful, and the songs are so sweet and catchy. The end makes me tear up/cry every time I've seen the movie. Definitely worth a watch. I just looked up the movie online, and for some reason unknown to me, it did not get the proper feedback. The story has many morals: whether it's when the villan proclaims "So you want to act like a troll? Be a troll!" Stanley's love, but rational fear, explains his actions when protecting the children he meets when he is banished to Manhattan. It's almost like Smurfs, but much better. "Anything that happens, starts with a dream." "Would you teach me how to have a green thumb? Then we can blow them all to smithereens.."
Absolutely Green (Song) I like to close my eyes So my heart can plainly see Right through the way things are clear to the way they ought to be To somewhere that's safe and sunlit, and serene Oh! And absolutely green Picture a perfect place Where there is no doom and gloom Birds singing happy songs And flowers bursting into bloom There's somewhere like nowhere else you've ever seen That's absolutely green That's how the world can be if we just wanted Why isn't it that way, do you suppose? Maybe 'cause no one's concentrating on it Just give it love and kindness You'll see how green it grows Maybe it's just a dream But I know deep in my heart If everyone believed, believing is the place to start We could fill everywhere with flowers If each of us used all our powers If we all cared is what I really mean We could live in a world that's bright and shiny Oh! And absolutely green We could live in a world that's bright and shiny And absolutely green

Movies and More!

I rather believe that more use can come of a blog rather than just random thoughts. I have many passions, and I'd love to share this with other people. So, now this is being converted to movie, book, magazine, event reviews. Thanks for reading!
