Hi guys,
Yeps another review so soon, hehe. I been trying to do more stuff on here, I am thinking of doing a lot actually, so keep looking here. Going to start putting important things, and also some more cool stuff. It won’t all be reviews, going be about life and stuff.

Anyways…..

We went to see this over the weekend. And I liked it, well some of it. So I decided i’d share it with you and tell what I thought was the good parts and bad parts. And let you decide on whether to see it or not. I think that’s really what a review should do, not like a yahoo review where they say, that sucked; and then not say why or it will be they didnt like it because it wasn’t what they thought it was going to be. Dad says for me to be open and honest and let people make up their own minds. So here goes:

Race to witch mountain isn’t a remake of the orginal movie, which I never seen. This is a retelling of that story. The movie starts with news and articles about UFO sightings from all over the world. Plus there are a couple places where Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton give speeches on them, (which was kinda cool.) Then we get into the movie itself.

Jack Bruno (yeah, i know,) played by the Rock; is a ex con taxi driver struggling to make ends meet. He is highly in dept and has some people that he owes money to looking for him, The last thing he needs is more trouble. He lives in a hotel in Las Vegas where there is a Sci Fi convention and a UFO convention going at the same time. The very first fare he gets are two geeks dressed as storm troopers, which was pretty funny.

The Red Balloon
French, Animated 1956
34 minutes
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048980/

The movie opens with a little boy around eight going to school.  On the way he passes by a large red balloon tied to a lamppost.  Presumably, this balloon belongs to the people who live in the apartment the lamppost is connected to.
They are not watching right this minute, so the balloon is up for grabs.  He shimmies up the post and unties the balloon and climbs down, showing poor hygiene by putting the dirty rope between his teeth.

He walks down the sidewalk, bothering other people who have to deal with this balloon swinging side to side in the breeze.  The boy is not allowed on the trolley because of the large balloon.  The greedy boy keeps the balloon and runs to school.

The town the boy is in is not as bleak as, say Russia in “Winged Migration,” but is very colorless.

At school he hands off the balloon to the groundskeeper, it is not as if the guy has anything else to do is it?  [Read more...]
