There's a Blog in my boots!

I'll tell you flat out, Toy Story 3 is a masterpiece. I don't just mean among animated films, it will hold its own among any film out there. I saw it in 3D, which was nice, but if you don't have the extra couple bucks, don't sweat it: the 3D is not necessary.

The story and the setting of the story were brilliant. Anyone who was a kid when the first two Toy Story films came out and is in college or around college-aged will really relate to this film. On second thought, anyone who was a kid, played with toys, and grew up will relate to it.

Andy's off to college and is forced to reckon with the decision of what to do with all his old stuff, including Woody, Buzz, and the other toys. They are constantly disappointed when Andy is busy playing with his cell phone, laptop, and other gadgets, but still long for his attention. -Anti-Spoiler-Alert- (Details you can gather from the trailer) They end up getting donated to a day care, to find out that the little kids there are devil-children who don't know how to play. Mishaps happen and they all live happily ever after...or do they? You'll just have to see for yourself. (You really should.)

Toy Story 3 is my favorite of the trio of films, somehow Pixar does not disappoint, even with sequels. 3 is really funny (and not just little kid funny), emotional, and just really cool.

Toy Story 3 runs 103 minutes and is rated G. Yes folks, G. EVERYONE and their mother should see this film. I give it 10 ramheads out of 10. Bloody brilliant.P.S. The Pixar animated short Day & Night is amazingly original. I don't know how they do it. It was best one since Geri's Game (chess game before Bug's Life).

Titanic UPDATE: 3D?

So guess what I recently heard and never told you? Yeah, that's right, Titanic is going to be back in theatres in 2011 in 3D. This is two things: cool and selling out. I will go and see it (with my fiance) but I know they are doing it to make some more money. Oh well....it's kind of a win-win for those who like the movie and a nuisance for those who don't. I'm ok with that.

Here's to the BAD movies...

I've been thinking....I only review those movies I think are good. This post is a list of movies, with a short explanation that I really hated, couldn't finish, or just found extremely stupid.

Eragon - 2 ramheads out of 10
Eragon the movie featured bad acting, bad special effects, and is not similar to the book in many many ways. As a fan of the book, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching. For a full list of differences click here

Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over - 1 ramhead out of 10
The Spy Kids movies were never anything special, but this one was the worst, head-ache causing one yet. I went with my little brother to this movie, only to see the 3D. That was one of the worst decisions of my life. The 3D was so poorly done, I had a head-ache. The plot was lame, the acting was poor (Stallone got an award for worst supporting actor). Do NOT see this movie.

Ok, this is all that I can think of....I'm sure there are more to come...
