Every scene was so rushed that the characters and their dynamics with each other lacked any real development, and every attempt at making the audience feel what was going on in the moment (or even caring at all) was murdered by this fact.

Obviously, I don’t need to say much more about the writing quality than I already have; it was just lazy, lazy, lazy.

Ham III, the grandson of the first chimp astronaut, is blasted off into space by an opportunity-seeking senator.

Soon, the fun-loving chimp has to get serious about the mission at hand: Rid a far-away planet of their nefarious leader.

Disney has done nothing but pump out rehashed ideas in the form of inane sequels to classics loved by my generation or weak under developed characters.

Well not this time.

Bolt the “super” dog was full of funny and emotional characters the likes of which Disney has not produced in a while.

When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet - a cross-country journey through the real world.

When it started up I was immediately sucked in, and I never became uninterested and it never stopped entertaining, because they did an excellent job at keeping your attention.

There were some parts in the movie where I felt as if they tried too hard to please the audience and then others it got a little dumb and boring, but overall I laughed I almost cried and when it was over I wanted to watch it again.

It’s a great sequel to a great movie and I enjoyed watching it as much as the first.

It’s fantastic , you must see it.

The sequel of the first movie, the New York Zoo Animals, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo, still stranded on Madagascar, started to leave the island.

All of a sudden, they landed in the wilderness of Africa.

This is not Japanese so don’t expect some impressive “camera” (this is animation) movements but with pretty skilled use of CG here and there it manages to pull of some exciting stuff.

The story could of been a bit more elaborate, but they do throw in some details and explanations.

Horror fans will be pleased with the amount of gore and blood, but those expecting a solid intrigue and story will be left somewhat unsatisfied.

I’m saying this not because it is confusing or bleak but because along the way it promises some nice twists and does not get into details, maybe due to the fact that the movie is pretty short.

The best way to describe the film is as a science fiction, comedy, dramatic love story.

Wall-E, as a character, has dimension, personality, and heart.

Pretty impressive given that he is essentially a trash compactor.

It is true that there is little dialogue in this feature, but personally I did not feel it detracted from the story at all.

After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named Eve.

Eve comes to realize that Wall-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans.

Let me get this out of the way: this movie has some of the greatest 3D animated fight scenes. Ever.

What elevates them from good to great is that while I expected the unbelievable, gravity-defying stunts that are REQUIRED of a good kung fu movie, there is an amazing amount of ‘realism’ to the physics in this movie.

Just watch the jailbreak and you’ll understand.

It’s the story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around…which doesn’t exactly come in handy while working every day in his family’s noodle shop.

Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po’s dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols.

Cast is uniformly excellent, including Lucy Liu, Kristen Chenoweth and Anjelica Houston.

This was much better than some of the theatrically released Disney animated films I’ve seen (notably “Atlantis”), making it among the best of the Mouse’s direct-to-video titles.

Well worth checking out with your kids, but don’t be surprised if you find a tear in your own eye at the conclusion of this fantastic production

By the way Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is being released in 2009.

Enter the magical world of fairies and meet the enchanting creatures of Pixie Hollow, who “nurture nature” and bring about the change of the seasons.

Changing the colors of the leaves, moving a sunbeam to melt snow, waking animals from their winter slumber, or giving a patch of sproutlings a sprinkle of water are all within the realm of these seasonal specialists.

I thought the film was very good, but there were some slip ups.

First off, Hilary Swank was wasted playing a stepford-wife type, which truth be told, could have been played by anyone.

She is far better than that role.

As well, although somewhat important to the theme of the film, I found the feces aspect of the film rather distracting and with exception to one humorous scene, took away from the storyline.

It sometime amazes me that cinematography can be far superior in films with independent budgets.

The only complaint I have about the cinematography and lighting is that some scenes were very dark and it was difficult to truly connect with those scenes.

This is about socialization and growing up when there are no grown-ups. For Jay it means living within social boundaries and telling an occasional lie; for Ida it’s accountability for her actions, whereas Morrie must learn to loosen codes, assert the naked truth, and release responsibility to others.
