Toy Story 3

7-3-2010
The Grand Theater
Excellent



First of all, if you make a good movie you don't need 3D, unless you are trying to be visually astounding. The entire Toy Story series has no need to be such a spectacle. With that in mind, I decided to see the regular version instead of the 3D version. I suspect that there would be little difference in my review either way.

Toy Story 3 was exactly what I thought it would be. It was fun and by the end you realize just how attached you are to the characters. You feel sad that Andy's all grown up. But don't worry Toy Story 3 has a great ending.

My only criticism is that it took itself a little to seriously. There's a scene where all of our favorite toys are facing certain doom. This is not unlike any other cartoon movie, but I thought that the scene in this one was over the top dramatic. It switched to an adult move at this point that I don't feel was very kid friendly. I'm not a parent to shelter my children but I found this scene to be a little too intense. Charlotte closed her eyes and I told her when the toys were ok.

Besides that I was very pleased with Toy Story 3. It was a great way to spend a hot summer afternoon!

A Christmas Carol 3-D

11-8-2009 The Grand Theater Superior This was the scariest I've seen in a long time. That's saying a lot considering my list. There were times I was shaken, and this isn't an unfamiliar story. This was also a beautiful movie with amusement park like effects, especially with the 3-D, which by the way I highly reccomend. With the 3-D glasses you really notice the care and detail taken to truly make this an imaginative and engaging remake of the ultimate Christmas Story (Next to the Jesus Story of course.) Many are critical of this movie because of it's over use of special effects and I would agree with them if the story telling and acting weren't as superb as they were. Jim Carey (I'm not really a fan) was excellent in his portrayal of Scrooge and the Spirits of Christmas Past and Present. Each Spirit character including Jacob Marley was both endearing and terrifying. Exactly as their characters should be. The exception being the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come, h...

Gladiator...I mean Robin Hood

5/16/2010 The Grand Theater Good I wonder what would happen if you were to watch Gladiator and Robin Hood at the same time. Now I don't know for sure but here's my guess. At exactly the same time you would have.... Big opening battle (Wow this is cool!) Blah-blah-blah-blah-plot-plot-plot-plot-plot Smaller but still cool battle. Blah-blah-blah-blah-develope the story, oh isn't that funny and clever... Another Cool battle scene Blah-blah-blah-blah- love-love-love-love Yeah kill that guy, I wish I could shoot an arrow like that. Blah-blah-blah-blah-oh that's why he's the way he is... Yes Big battle. The end. Let's get rid of the blah-blah-blah-blah and just give us 100 minutes of what we really want. Big Epice unrealistic battles! That's all I have to say about that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSqL9ygBCck

Green Book

Green Book AMC High Point 8 Superior This was a great movie. It made you laugh, it made you cry. It was a really interesting look at a topic that's been looked in to many times. Even though the theme was the same, this movie felt fresh and original. I can fully support this movie for Best Picture.
