Movie Of The Month: Brave

This summer, if you're looking for a film that's great for the whole family, or gives a new perspective, I strongly recommend you see Disney's newest animation, "Brave". "Brave" is the tale of a Scottish princess named Merida who is trying to find her own destiny in the midst of a somewhat daunting "royal fate". Her mother feels that she should be more like her: poised, sophisticated, and refined. But Merida has other ideas; ideas that include horseback riding, archery, and definitely NOT marriage. When Merida meets an old witch in the forest who gives her an enchanted cake to change her mother, Merida is sure her fate will change and become more to her liking. But when her fate is changed in unexpected ways, she realizes that life wasn't so bad after all. Full of surprises, magic, and tender mother-daughter love, "Brave" is a wonderful reminder to be more grateful for the blessings we already have.
