:D :D :D 1/2 out of 5
This is a great TV show, period. That said it is not for everyone. It contains a lot of black and non-sensical humor; think Tim Burton meets Douglas Adams. Recommended for ages 10+.
Horton Hears a Who
:D :D :D
The best Dr. Seuss adaption I have seen next to "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Has some great themes about believing in what you can't see, and trusting others. Recommended for all ages.
Nanny McPhee
:D :D: D :D
A wonderful family friendly movie about the importance of manners, good communication and realizing what you already have. Please ignore all the critics who compare it to "Mary Poppins;" just enjoy it for what it is. Recommended for ages 7+.
Iron Man
:D :D :D :D
Loads of fun, lots of action and a great plot line about redemption and taking responsibility for your actions. Recommended for ages 12+
The Incredible Hulk
:D :D 1/2
Worlds better then the original film back in 2003, but still rather forgettable. Recommended for ages 12+.
Wall*E
:D :D :D :D 1/2
Amazing, stupendous! Better then Ratatouille. Really, I promise! Recommended for all ages.
**************************************************
Next week I will post my review of the Dark Knight, I promise! I am also working on a novel/novella series entitled "The Chronicles of Zack." It will have action, romance, humor, horror and more! Think 28 Days Later meets Hangman's Curse meets The Hardy Boys meets the Bourne Identity. Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. I will be trying to post it in installments here on the blog. Stay tuned!

Ahh.
Not so sure what I think about "Invader Zim"; I still think it turns youngins' brains to mush . . . hehe.
But "Horton Hears a Who", I have not seen yet, but have heard excellent reviews for . . . so I think I shall go see it :)
I am sooo thrilled you are updating again. I always find interest in the things you write about.
Keep it up, my friend!
So, I am commenting AGAIN ;)
Iron Man was absolutely AMAZING,
ohhh man it was great.
The hulk was def. better than the 2003.
The hulk just isn't my fave hero.
And WallE, I haven't seen yet.
But I guess I should :)
First of all, Iron Man was a wonderful movie. I wasn't so sure I was going to like it, because I hadn't read the comics and I wasn't exposed to the concept.
Nevertheless, I absolutely loved it; I agree 100% with your review.
But I have to say, between Ratatouille and Wall*E, I actually liked Ratatouille better. Wall*E had a nice message to it (and I'm not referring to the PC "subtext".) I liked how the movie showed how much more there is to life than electronics. Especially since I am currently reading 'Amusing Ourselves...'. It was a great way to get an idea across to people without shoving it into their faces. Also, the fact that they used very minimal speaking throughout the film was very impressive. (I thought that using parts of Hello, Dolly! was a terrific way to express emotion). Nevertheless, in my opinion, the movie just seemed to drag on and on. If they could have found a way to compress some of the longer scenes into shorter sequences, I probably would have enjoyed it more.
I'm not saying that Ratatouille is better than Wall*E from a film perspective, but Ratatouille is much easier to watch. Wall*E is the sort of film you watch if you want to see a subtle, toned down version of 'An Inconvenient Truth'. Ratatouille is just plain fun.
That being said, I am really looking forward to your Batman review.
PS: I hope you don't mind a little bit of well-meant debate/discussion. If this blog is meant only to showcase your own perspective, and not meant to serve as a prompt for people to respond to and share their own thoughts on, then please forgive me. I was not sure.
No, no! Debate it wonderful! Especially with my upcoming articles about "The Dark Knight" and the soon to be released video game "Spore." Both should generate some rather deep in not heated conversation..... which I encourage. I love to see people spurred into debate over the things that I write.
Thank you also for the support!
