Gulliver's Travels movie review

Gulliver's Travels: ** 1/2 (out of four)

Starring: Jack Black, Amanda Peet, Jason Segel, Chris O' Dowd, Emily Blunt and Billy Connolly. Directed by Rob Letterman. Approximately 85 minutes. Playing at major theaters.

In the year 1726, Jonathan Swift wrote a novel called Gulliver's Travels. It told the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a man who goes on these weird adventures. One of his most famous adventures is to the Land Of Lilliput, a place with many tiny people. 284 years later, director Rob Letterman releases the movie Gulliver's Travels, starring Jack Black as Lemuel Gulliver.

Gulliver is a guy who is stuck in the mailroom at this office building. He doesn't have the best life because he can't ask his crush Darcy (Amanda Peet) out on a date and the new guy at the mailroom is now his boss.

When Gulliver attempts to ask Darcy out, he chickens out and lies to her about being a travel writer. She asks him for a travel writing excerpt and when he tries to write something, he can't get anything. So, he does a little thing called plagiarism. He copies travel writing articles from the Internet and some travel books. He hands them in to Darcy and she sends him off to find out more about the Bermuda Triangle.

When Gulliver gets to Bermuda, he is given a boat and pretty soon, he is thrust into a large whirlpool. When he wakes up, he finds himself tied down by these little people led by an annoying general named Edward Edwardian (Chris O' Dowd). These little people are called Lilliputians. Some other people of this kind are a princess (Emily Blunt), a prisoner named Horatio (Jason Segel) and a king (Billy Connolly).

Gulliver is referred to as The Beast, but then he saves the kingdom from a fire and attack from other tiny people. He puts out the fire by peeing on it. Gross, I know, but believe it or not, he becomes very well respected. Sooner or later, Gulliver is telling more lies, such as saying he is President the Awesome back in Manhattan and that Darcy is his lover.

Gulliver also makes the Lilliputians build him a luxurious and he also tries helping Horatio win the heart of the princess. Sounds nice, huh? Yeah, well, that doesn't last very long.

See, Edward Edwardian decides to turn the Lilliputians against Gulliver.

This movie has some pretty funny scenes. For example, Gulliver says to the princess that he wants to stay at her kingdom. She says, ``But what about the White House and your special lady, Darcy?'' He replies by saying, ``Um, I don't know. I think Vice President Yoda can take care of things.''

However, there are some weak moments. For example, the film gets real sappy when the romance kicks in. Also, at the end, there is a terrible musical number to the song War. Oh good Lord, it is terrible.

But other than that, the movie has some good moments. Jack Black is entertaining in this movie. He usually is, but he is still not a perfect movie star. He has made the not so good movies like Year One and Nacho Libre. I think that kids will probably enjoy it. I don't know if adults will like it as much as the kids, but if they don't, it doesn't really matter. The movie is made for kids to enjoy. So, I think that this is a film for kids to check out. Don't see it in 3D. It's not very effective.

Revealing Of the Who Am I?

When I started doing this blog, I did a little thing called Who Am I? It was where I gave clues about famous people and you readers would try to guess who the person was. Well, the first one I did was Michael Douglas. That is all I have to say. Bye.

Tron: Legacy movie review

Tron: Legacy: ***(stars out of four)

Starring Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund,

Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett and Michael

Sheen. Directed by Joseph Kosinski.

Approximately 126 minutes. Playing

at major theaters. Rated PG.

In 1982, Jeff Bridges starred in a movie called Tron. It told the story of Kevin Flynn, a guy who gets put into a video game and tries to get out. I saw this movie a few years ago. I had rented it on video. I have to say, it was not a very good movie. There was only one part that struck me as entertaining. There is this thing called ``light cycling''. Light cycling are these battles on these bright vehicles where you try and eliminate the other participants.

Fast forward 28 years later and we have a sequel called Tron: Legacy. This movie has the same character from the first film, but the story focuses more on Kevin's son, Sam (Garrett Hedlund). Years ago, Kevin disappeared from Sam when Sam was a child and no one knew what had happened to Kevin.

As an adult, Sam is a troubled young man. He bothers his father's company Encom annually and 15 minutes or so into the movie, he is arrested by cops for being a troublemaker. When Sam goes back to his home, he sees one of his father's co-workers. The co-worker says that he was paged and the page came from Kevin's office. Apparently, that number has been disconnected for a long time.

So, that very night, Sam takes his father's motorcycle over to his father's office and is soon zapped into the same place his father was years ago, only this time, the place has been updated. The costumes are different, the girls are prettier and the structure is different. At this place, Sam meets Clu (also played by Jeff Bridges), Kevin's creation that went evil, Gem (Beau Garrett), a pretty girl, Quorra (Olivia Wilde), Kevin's assistant and Zeus (Michael Sheen), a man who owns a club.

When Sam arrives at this strange place, these good looking girls take away his Earth clothes, give him new clothes and he is sent to participate in deadly games such as light cycling and odd disc fights. In the middle of a light cycling battle, Sam meets Quorra and is taken to Kevin's place. Kevin is in his sixties at least, has stubble and gray hair. Sam decides to take Quorra and Kevin back to Earth. There is a portal that closes in eight hours and it is their only ticket back to Earth until it's opened up again.

Clu finds out about this and plans to kill Quorra, Sam and Kevin. He creates an army and orders them to kill them all.

I have to say, this is a better movie than the first film. Why? I will tell you why. The special effects are better, it's more interesting and the action is better. The girls aren't too bad looking, either. The weakest point of this movie would probably have to be the acting. The acting isn't terrible, but it's not great, either. The soundtrack by French techno duo Daft Punk fit the movie, even if it's not something I'd put on my iPod.

The costumes were way better than the costumes in the 1982 film. In the first movie, the costumes were sort of gray and bright blue. In this movie, the costumes were black with colors such as blue, green or orange. The action in the first film was lame, except for the light cycling. The other action was basically hitting each other with batons. I also don't have a great memory of pretty girls in the first film. I don't remember much of the acting in the first movie, so I can't really say anything bad. The soundtrack wasn't memorable in the first movie, either.

This is not the best film that I have ever seen in my entire life. Would I see it again? Yeah, sure, why not? If you parents think it sounds too dark for kids, that's okay. If you like the sound of this movie, then I think you should give it a try.

Tangled Movie Review

Tangled: *** (out of 4)
Includes the voices of Zachary Levi, Mandy Moore, Donna Murphy and Ron Perlman.
Directed by Nathan Greno, Byron Howard. Approximately 100 minutes. Playing at
major theaters.

When I first saw the preview to Tangled, I have to say, it did not look like the greatest movie ever made. There was only one scene that I had laughed at. It had to do with a smolder. It was pretty funny. The rest of the preview was not very funny. I decided that I would probably see it at that moment.
But when I saw a second preview for the movie, I thought it looked dreadfully bad. It didn't look funny at all. I decided at that moment not to see it. But when it came out, I saw that it had gotten really good reviews. In the Toronto Star, it got a three out of four. In the Globe and Mail, it got four out of four. So, I decided to go see the movie because it was apparently so good. I have to say, it was really good.
Tangled tells the story of Rapunzel. See, before Rapunzel is born, the mom is very sick and these guards decide to find some object that will heal her. Meanwhile, there is an old lady (voiced by Donna Murphy) who finds a flower that has a bit of the sun in it and makes herself young. She decides to use that flower for herself to stay young. Yet, the guards find the flower, give it to the queen and she has a beautiful baby girl named Rapunzel. They have a great celebration where they send lanterns off into the sky.
However, that night, the old lady who is young again steals Rapunzel to keep her young, for Rapunzel had hair that could make the old lady young.
So, 18 years later, Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) is living in a castle with the old lady, and Rapunzel is wishing to leave, even if she loves the old lady very much.
There is another story in this movie. It follows a bandit (Zachary Levi) named Flynn Rider. He has stolen a crown, abandoned his fellow robbers and is now hiding out in the castle that Rapunzel is living in. Rapunzel knocks him out with a frying pan, ties him up with her hair and tells him to take her out of the castle. Flynn does this because if he takes her away, he will get his crown and the crown has been hidden from him. So, he takes Rapunzel and her pet chameleon away from the castle.
Now, this may sound like a predictable movie, but don't worry. It may be predictable, but that does not mean it isn't entertaining. It is entertaining.
It has exciting action scenes, interesting plot and good writing. Also, the supporting characters like a group of people who hang out at a bar and a horse are funny.
The music is not something that I would put on my iPod, I will tell you that. Also, it is not as good as other Disney movies like The Incredibles and Toy Story 3, but it still is a lot of fun.
Guys who are not like me will probably not like this movie as much because of the musical numbers and the romance, but girls will probably enjoy it. Guys who are like me will probably like this because: 1. It has action. 2. It's entertaining and 3. It is funny.

Why I Think The Film Industry Should Release A Second Percy Jackson Film

Earlier in the year of 2010, the film industry released a book adaptation of the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. It tells the story of a guy named Percy Jackson. He's a teenager, doesn't know where his dad is and is dyslexic. Not the best life ever, I know. But he finds out that he is the son of Poseidon, the god of water. But he also finds some other things out. He finds out his mom is gone, his best friend is a goat and if he doesn't return Zeus's lightning bolt by the Summer Solstice, bad things are going to happen. And that's just the plotline of the first movie! I had read the book before the movie came out and when I saw the movie, I was impressed. Yes, Grover (the goat friend) was not as good as he was in the book and one of the campers who was known by her blond hair in the book has black hair in the movie. But still, it was very exciting and entertaining. The author wrote many other Percy Jackson novels and I honestly hope that they make a movie out of the second book because the books and movies really are good!

Megamind Move Review

Megamind : *** (out of 4)
Including the voices of Will Ferrel, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, David Cross and Brad Pitt.
Directed by Tom McGrath. Approximately 99 minutes long. Playing at major theaters. Rated PG.

When I first saw the preview for Megamind, I thought that it looked good. When I saw the second preview, I still thought it looked good. But one day, when I was half paying attention to a TV channel, an ad came up for it. Oh dear goodness. It was a terrible ad. It made the film look so stupid with a horrible rap they added in. Gosh darn it, I've said this before and I'll say it again, What is wrong with this world?!
But I saw the movie anyways and I have to say it was quite entertaining. And also, I found out a little more about it. Okay, so the film starts out with Megamind (later voiced by Will Ferrel) getting shipped off to Earth by his parents with a minyon (later voiced by David Cross) as his planet gets sucked into a blackhole of some sort. Then, along comes Metro Man (later voiced by Brad Pitt) who's planet was sucked in by a blackhole, too. He is the good guy, but Megamind is not. The movie shows a bit of their childhood. Metro Man grows up in a lovely house and everyone loves him, while Megamind grows up in prison and everyone hates him. Fast forward quite a few years later and Megamind has killed Metro Man. He blew him up with a sun ray. Now, Megamind has taken over the city and has stolen everything.
But the story doesn't stop there. The story also involves Megamind being lonely without someone to fight. So he decides to a take a cameraman named Hal (Jonah Hill) who works for a reporter named Roxanne (Tina Fey). Hal has a thing for Roxanne, but she doesn't. So, Megamind decides to take Hal and make him a hero named Titan. Pretty soon, though, Megamind realizes that it was a huge mistake because Titan turns from a geek to a jerk after Roxanne rejects him. From then on, Megamind wonders if he wants to be so bad after all and dare I say it, develops feelings for Roxanne?! ( dun dun dunh).
Megamind is not the best animated film I have ever seen, but it is very entertaining and the cast does a good job. The writers make good jokes and thankfully, there is no bad rapping. So, I say that this is worth seeing.

What I Think About 3D

In the past little while, a whole whack of movies have been in 3D. 3D is a cool concept, I will admit that. BUT, the film industry has gone overload on it. Come on! Almost every single movie that you see ads for is 3D. They might as well have just put Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps in 3D (Don't get any ideas about re-releasing it in 3D, film industry. I'm warning you.) I can name so many movies that were in 3D this year: Clash Of the Titans, Shrek Forever After, Toy Story 3, Despicable Me, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore, My Soul To Take, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Saw: The Final Chapter, Alpha and Omega, Legend Of the Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'hoole and Jack*** 3. How ridiculous is that? Good gosh, what is wrong with the world we live in today? Look, I don't have a problem with having a 3D movie every once in a while. But if you have it every week, I am just ticked off. Enough with the 3D already!

Who Am I?

I am male.
I am in my forties.
I am a former SNL star.
I have been in movies such as Kicking and Screaming and Land Of the Lost.
I usually am an angry character in my movies.

You Again Movie Review

You Again: *** stars (out of 4)
Starring: Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Victor Garber, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Kristen Chenoweth and Betty White. Directed by Andy Fickman. Approximately 112 minutes. This was playing at major theaters, but it came out last month, so it is probably only playing in one theater now. Rated PG.

When I first saw the preview for You Again, I thought it looked funny. However, after at least 20 viewings of the preview as I went to the movies over the next few months began to get to me. This was getting on my nerves. I went to see the movie, still. It was actually pretty entertaining. It's not my favourite movie of all time, but heck, I still enjoyed it. You Again tells the story of Marni (Kristen Bell), she is a public relations executive who works in New York. That's not what she was like in high school, though. She had zits, glasses and was bullied by a horrible girl named Jay-Jay (Odette Yustman) who's real name was Joanna. At least 8 years later, Marni finds out the bully is going to marry Marni's brother. Marni freaks out and tries to convince her mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) that the soon-to-be-wife of her brother is horrible. But the mom has problems of her own. It turns out that Joanna's aunt (Sigourney Weaver) is a person who wasn't very nice to Marni's mom in high school. Of course, everything goes wrong in this movie including dance lessons with a dotty dance instructor (Kristen Chenoweth), a denture wearing grandma (Betty White) and an ex-boyfriend of Joanna who is still in love with her. This movie could have gone wrong in so many different ways, but it is actually entertaining. Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Betty White, the ex-boyfriend and the dad (Victor Garber) were funny. So, I think that this is worth seeing. Apparently, critics hate this movie such as Richard Roeper. He gave it an F in his website. I don't agree. I think that this is worth seeing, even though it's not the best film I've ever seen.

My Experience With Film Festivals

Twice in the year of 2010, I have been to a film festivals. The first one I went to was in April and it was called Sprockets Film Festival. Sprockets is a film festival for kids. I saw two foreign films. Both of them were from Denmark. The first film that I saw there was Karla and Katrine. Karla and Katrine tells the story of a Danish girl named Karla. She lives with her mom, her two brothers and her stepdad. I guess the mom divorced the original dad. Anyways, Karla had a best friend named Katrine, but she hasn't hung out with her in ages. So, she decides to invite Katrine to her summer house out in the country. Katrine accepts the offer. When they get there and go out for a walk, these two creepy punks try and mug them. Fortunately, some young guy named Jonas rescues them. People in the town where the summer house is think that Jonas is some sort of shoplifter. Karla and Katrine don't, though. Oh, the mom also took her depressed friend along with her. The friend is female and was in a relationship that ended badly. The dad has a problem, though. The mom won't spend any time with him. I know, cold. This movie was fantastic. I loved it. It was way better than the second movie that I will tell you about quite soon. Plus, this movie was an approximate running time of 84 minutes. Now, I shall tell you about the second film. The plot is quite simple. The title is Max Embarrassing and it's about Max, a teenager who has an embarrassing mom, a crush on a girl in his class and a neighbor who does very strange activities. That is basically the plot. It's just about his life. This was not nearly as good as the first film I saw. I found that it went on a little too long (it ran for 90 minutes, 6 minutes longer than Karla and Katrine) and that it just wasn't as interesting. It still was worth seeing, though. Okay, so fast forward 5 months into my life and I am standing in AMC Yonge and Dundas Theater in Toronto, Canada. I am here to see a movie at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). Toronto International Film Festival started in 1976. It has been the starting point for films that are famous in the movie world today such as Almost Famous (bad-duh-da), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Lost In Translation. Cool, huh? Anyways, I was there at TIFF 200. I didn't see any films in English, though. I didn't see the films I wished I could see like Easy A, It's Kind Of A Funny Story and The Town. Yep, I rocked another Danish film. It was actually about some of the characters from the first movie I talked about. It is called Karla and Jonas and it tells the story of the characters from Karla and Katrine, Karla and Jonas. In the film, Jonas is living in a foster home and his only friend is an adult. Sadly, the adult is leaving to work at another foster home. Jonas gets ticked off and storms out of the home. Then, Karla decides to help Jonas by trying to find his biological mother. That is all it is about. Nothing too complicated. This wasn't as good as Karla and Katrine, but it still was entertaining. Why was it not better than the movie Karla and Katrine? I don't know, but it just wasn't. What was cool was that I got to meet the director. It was no big name director like Ang Lee or Atom Egoyan, but it was still cool. So, it wasn't as good as the first film festival movie I saw. Big deal. I had a great time. So, that is all the experience I have had with film festivals. Hopefully, I get to go to another one.

Megamind

Well, next week, the movie Megamind comes out. In case you don't know what this movie is, I will tell you what it is. Megamind has voices such as Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill and you may be surprised by this but... Brad Pitt. Yes, I said it and it's true. It's in the previews and it's on the internet. Anyways, I was going to give a synopsis of the movie. Megamind tells the story of the title character who is voiced by Will Ferrell. He's an alien who has an arch nemesis named Metro Man who is voiced by Brad Pitt. Anyways, it's just really about the battle between good and evil or something like that. It looked pretty funny, so I'm looking forward to it. I just wanted to tell you readers about it.

Great Movie Characters

Warning About Netflix

I'm not sure if you have heard of it, but there is something called Netflix. Netflix is a movie source where you can get any movie, any time you want. True or false? FALSE!!!!!!!! False, false, false, false, FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of that is true! I went on the site, they didn't have Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Juno and Little Miss Sunshine. Plus, my family is (or was) a fan of The Office, the TV show with Steve Carrel. They had none of the seasons! British and American! Man, my brother has more movies than Netflix I bet! Also, they would say that it wasn't available and they'd suggest some stuff that I didn't even care about! Except for this one movie I looked up that wasn't available. They suggested Say Anything, with John Cusack. It's supposed to be good. But I'll just rent it at the video store. Anyways, I just wanted to give you readers a warning. I haven't used it, but I think I saved my family from wasting money!

Why I Think the Book `` The Highly Effective Detective'' Should Be Made Into A Film

A couple of months ago, I finished reading a book called The Highly Effective Detective by Richard Yancey. It tells the story of Theodore Ruzak (nicknamed Teddy). Teddy as a child loved detective work. he would read books like Sherlock Holmes and Encyclopedia Brown. Now, he is in his thirties, has a job as a night guard and and no parents. When his mom leaves him a stash of money behind, he decides to go into the detective business with a waitress named Felicia. Felicia becomes Teddy's secretary. Soon enough, he is given a case. A man named Parker Hudson comes to him to tell him about a geese killer. Geese were crossing the road, when a giant SUV just ran them over. And. Didn't. Look. Back. Cold, I know. A long story short, the plot is Teddy tring to find out the killer of these geese. I think that this should become a movie. Why, you ask? Well, I'll tell you why. Teddy has a really interesting thought process. When I read what he would say in his mind, it made me laugh. Hopefully, you hear his thoughts. If the film industry does make a movie out of this, I sure hope that they don't use poor casting. It would ruin it for me. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you about that.

A Poor Book Adaptation

Alex Rider was born as a book character. Who thought him up? The British author Anthony Horowitz. The first book was called Stormbreaker. I liked it. The author went on to write more of these Alex Rider books. I read the books after I saw the movie. However, when someone made the movie version of Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker, I found out that it was not the best book adaptation. I found the action extremely stupid and it wasn't even included in the book. Also, whoever though up a horseracing scene and put it in this movie was out of their mind. Who in the world find that interesting in an action movie (John Woo, director of Mission: Impossible II, this means you)? Another ridiculous scene that could have bee mildly entertaining was a scene where the protagonist's nanny gets in a fight with one of the villain's. The directors seemed to want to make it as childish as possible, including blowfish needles getting shoved in someone's hand. Also, they hardly showed anything. Whenever they were going to hit each other, it showed some cartoon on the TV in the house. Come on! It's an action movie, for crying out loud! That is what you directors were trying to do, right? Make an action movie? So, it wasn't the worst film ever, but it definitely could have been better.

A Great Book Adaptation

A great book adaptation is Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson directs it and the movie is based on a book by Roald Dahl. Fantastic Mr. Fox tells the story of Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox is a fox voiced by George Clooney and he is a former food stealer who decides to pull off one last, big job. Along with the scheme, he takes his plumber, his nephew, a badger real estate agent (Bill Murray), his fox son (Jason Schwartzman), his fox wife (Meryl Streep) and practically every other animal in the neighborhood. Now, usually book adaptations are rather weak. however, this is way better than the book. Wes Anderson makes the humor so much better by making it deadpan and so bizarre! Plus, Wes Anderson uses really cool stop-motion animation. I love this movie. In fact, it is one of my favourite movies.
