"Chico and Rita" review: "See in theaters"

     As one of the qualifying movies to join the Oscars is this. And this score is awesome.
    Already has an amazing score on RT with a 95% fresh (awesome). As some critics say "A visually hypnotic, musically electric film." And some bad reviews like "Animated musical romance strikes an off note." But still it has beautiful animation, with great music.
  So go check it out. 

What to look for in 2012

   This year is ending and 2012 is just being born. So what other way to celebrate than countdown the years coming movies. Hear they are-
  • Beauty and the Beast 3-D
  • The Secret World of Arrietty
  • Dr. Suess' The Lorax
  • The Pirates! Band of Misfits
  • Le Magasin des Suicides (The Suicide Shop)
  • Dorothy of Oz
  • Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
  • Brave
  • Ice Age: Continental Drift
  • Okami kodomo no ame to yuki (The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki)
  • ParaNorman
  • Hotel Transylvania
  • Frankenweenie 
  • Wreck-it Ralph
  • Rise of the Guardians
  • Escape from Planet Earth
  • Norm of the North
  • Cheech & Chong’s Animated Movie
  • Ribbit
  • A Liar’s Autobiography   
    So those are 2012's new movies. Some I haven't heard of and others look amazing. Like I'm a huge fan those manga movies like Ponyo and all that. The new Madagascar just looks like a fail, so does The Lorax. I am excited for The Pirates, Brave, and Rise of the Guardians. And the new Ice Age will be the best of the series or the worst of them all. And well Arrietty all ready came out in Asia and all that stuff, so on the RT score, it already got a 100% fresh (awesome). And Beauty and the Beast is already a win with a score of 92% fresh (awesome).
    I wanna see Hotel Transylvania because Adam Sndler, Kevin James, and Andy Samberg are in it. And Cheech and Chong are awesome.

"Tintin" opens up at #5

    These box office numbers suck. I mean the new Chipmunks movie is still at #3. And I saw Steven Speilberg's War Horse witch was truly beautiful. It had amazing directing with great music, and still it didn't make it at the box office. At least The Incredibles directer Brad Bird's first live-action film Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol got to #1.
     Tintin got to #5, not so good at the box office. I thought it would of got more but still. At #1 is Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (93% fresh, awesome), at #2 is Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows (59% rotten, okay), and at #3 is Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (13% rotten, very bad). Come to look at it there all sequels. Arthur Christmas is still holding strong at #8.

Disney to make new classical fairytale

      Disney is famous for its fairy tales even there new ones are great. Like The Princess and the Frog and Tangled. Now theirs a new one to the list.
       Disney took away the date November 27th, 2013 from Pixar with there untitled dinosaur film, so now the studio will decide on an other release date.
      This movie has been on hold for a decade. The film is based on author Hans Christian Andersen’s 1845 fairytale The Snow Queen. The film was originally called The Snow Queen now it is called Frozen. It will be hand drawn witch is awesome. Also will legendary musician Alan Menken who did the music for The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
    This actually sounds good.

    So yeah theirs the 2011 nominees. Vote by commenting on this blog post by giving me your answers and lets see if your votes get in. Please vote.

Atlanta Braves sueing "Brave"

   Atlanta Braves are a good baseball team. But when it comes to common sense they suck.
   They are sewing Pixar's up coming film Brave basically because there them is called the Braves and the movie is called Brave.
   But still on Dictionary.com there are two definitions for Brave. First is commonly used as“possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance.”Then it is used as “a warrior, especially among North American Indian tribes".
   Yeah this is just dumb.

Classic Pixar Easter eggs in "Mission Impossible: Goast Protocal"

   Pixar director Brad Bird who directed The Incredables and Ratatouiie also did he direct The Iron Giant. Now he made the new Mission Impossible. But he still kept the classical Easter eggs from all the Pixar films. Hears a look-
       Will the classic A113 sign is in the live action film too. Also is Day and Night directer in the movie. Hes the voice on the line talking to Tom Cruis' character. Hears the spots from the movie with eggs-
  
  • Josh Holloway‘s character Agent Hanaway uses a “class ring” to subdue a bad guy. The ring has A113 emblazoned on the side.
  • Tom Cruise‘s character Ethan Hunt gives an  extraction access code verbally over the phone: “A113″


  •     So maby there can be some eggs in Wall-E and Finding Nemo directer Andrew Stanton's live action John Carter.
  • "The Adventures of Tintin" review: "See in theaters"

         Finally this movie comes out, I've been waiting for this since the first teaser trailer came out on line.
       With the legendary director Steven Speilberg directing, this will be truly epic. He is also Nickelodeon's second best director next to Gore Verbrasky witch directed Rango. This has amazing animation, It makes The Polar Express look lame. Even though when it first came out the RT score was 89% fresh, but now its at 77% fresh, but that's still good. Although some people didn't like it as one critic said that it reminded him too much Jonny Quest.
         Any way go see this in theaters, I might even go.

    "Rise of the Guardians" poster

         2012 looks like an amazing year for animated films. Now Dreamworks is working on both Madagascar 3 and this movie that looks awesome.
         The poster shows a very bad ass Santa. It looks awesome. Hears the plot synopses-
          "Rise of the Guardians tells the story of a group of heroes – each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world."
        Yup this sounds awesome. The poster above.

    "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" sequel to be stalled?

       There has been allot of talk of the sequel to the best film I've seen in a long time. I have no idea what "staled" means but it cant be good. I wanna see the long eared rabbit with (hot for a toon) Jessica Rabbit.
       Producer Kathleen Kennedy said “We’ve attempted a script, but it’s not really moving forward right now,” also did she say “That’s not to say it won’t in the future, but there’s no spotlight on it now.”
       So could this be the end of Roger Rabbit. I wanna see all the toons in every studio to reunite again.

    "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" review: "Skip it"

            I hate these squirrels.
       The animation is good but the story is just bad. Skip it, just don't even say the name of this movie.
     

    "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" opens up at #2

        I've never really liked the Chipmunks, and looking at this movie I hate it even more.
       With a 14% rotten (very bad) this movie is still favorites to young kids. Its the lowest score with both films.
      At #1 is Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (60% fresh, good) at #3 is Mission Impossible: Goast Protocal. Arthur Christmas still in the race at #8
       Just don't watch this.

    How to animate "Rango"



    This is just beautiful. This featurette made me smile from start to finish. I like how he says that this is there first time animating something, and this is the best movie I've seen with the greatest animation I've seen in years.

    New "ParaNorman" trailer

        From the people that brought you Coraline comes ParaNorman, a friendly horror movie.
       Check out the trailer in the link below-
    http://www.slashfilm.com/paranorman-trailer/

    Cody Cameron and Kris Paern to direct "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2"

         It was originally said that original Meatballs directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller were going to direct the sequel, and it was gonna be based on the books sequel, Pickles to Pittsburgh. Now theres another story.
         Sony animators Cody Cameron and Kris Paern will direct the second but it will be an original script. Also will Horrible Bosses writers will write it.
          It better be the same Flint Lockwood because Bill Hadar is hilarious.

    Witch "Tintin" book will be the second movie?

        The Tintin movie that is coming out in Wednesday is based on the comic series by Herge. Will you might think that the movie coming out is based on the first book of the series, will actually Secrets of the Unicorn is the eleventh book of the series. So now what will be the second movie based on?
        Its rumored that the second will be based on Prisoners of the Sun. But now producer Kathleen Kennedy says the truth-
        ‘Prisoners of the Sun’ was a very, very early discussion, and it isn’t under discussion anymore. We’ve still got Anthony Horowitz working on the second movie, and we don’t know what we’re doing with the third movie yet.
            So now what we’re thinking [for the second film] is what new characters do we want to introduce? Well, we’ll probably introduce Calculus and bring him into the fold.
         So this probably means that its gonna be based on The Calculus Affair. Then she says that its a bit tricky for Peter Jackson since hes directing both the new Tintin and the second Hobbit-
              It’s tricky getting everybody but that’s how we did the first movie, sort of passing the baton. When Steven was available, he’d jump in, and when he was busy, Peter would pick up the slack. It was kind of amazing how they’d work together. We never knew how this would work, but it worked out really, really well.
           Well there it is, witch could it be, Prisoners of the Sun or The Calculus Affair?
             
         

    "Kung Fu Panda 2" DVD review: "Buy it"

       Although it didn't get any Golden Globe Awards nominations, this did get twelve Annie Award nominations.
        This is by far the most amazing movie I've seen this year. And when critics say "An instant classic" this is truly an instant classic (also with How to Train your Dragon, Tangled, and this years Winnie the Pooh). This one is better than the first. It comes with a double DVD pack. With a short of an all new Po adventure.
         Any way but it, this too will be your favorite movie too.

    Nickelodeon's full anemated "Angry Birds" Christmas special



    "Wreck the Halls" is out and with Angry Birds celebrating there second birthday, Nickelodeon has made an animated special for the birds. Man, this could be the new Charlie Brown Christmas. Check it out this is amazing.

    More news on Pixars "movie about the brain"

       We all heard of the new Pixar movie that is set on the human mind, well now we hear that the movie will take place in the mind of a young girl.
        Next to Brave this is another film with the main character a female. This is what directer Pete Docter said-
           Pete Docter, from Monsters, Inc. and Up, is doing a new film that takes place inside of a girl’s mind and it is about her emotions as characters, and that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
          The title is yet to be announced. All we know is that Toy Story 3 screen writer Michael Arndt will write this. Also will Arndt write a theatrical movie about the show Phineas and Ferb.
          The movie will either come out November 27, 2013 or May 30, 2014.
         This kinda sounds like the clever movie Osmosis Jones. This movie will proboly have the same idea as that movie. Like when it says "about the human mind" its probably not gonna show just the brain, theirs probably little anatomy creatures in there (like how Osmosis Jones is about a smooth white blood cell, voiced by Chris Rock that keeps out germs from the body of Frank, who is Bill Murphy).
           They just better not let Justin Beiber do the score for this since its about what girls think.

    Greg Daniels to make 2 new animated sitcoms

         My favorite The Office and other fave Parks and Recreation creator Greg Daniels is a well known worker at NBC, but good enough to make two animated projects.
         This well be a sitcom but not like in The Office and in Parks and Rec were its a one single shot camera movement and is about the daily life of non-ordinary people working by wasting time looking at funny videos, and sometime porn. This will be about a young girl and her high school volley ball team. It will be written and produced by The Office's Mindy Kaling who is the funny Kelly Kapoor, also will she be the the voice of the girl.
         The other one will be about a group of twenty something year old men who share a house in LA's affluent Hancock Park neighborhood. It will be written and executive produced by Park and Rec's producer Alan Yang.
         These sound weird, they sound like something that would be on Animation Domination.

    New"The Lorax" trailer



    Come on this has nothing to do with The Lorax. There just putting some kid in this.

    "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" teaser trailer



    Come on this looks awful. I mean the second one was great, the first one was okay, but this looks bad. I mean there in Europe now, and in a circus? Great...

    "Tintin 2" to be out in 2014

         Steven Spielberg is busy this year with both War Horse (I want to see) and my anticipated film this year Tintin. Now the release for the second Tintin is revealed. Also did he talk about a fourth Jurassic Park.
         All we know is that the producer for the first Tintin, Peter Jackson will direct the second, but now co-producer Kathleen Kennedy said this-
           Oh yeah, it is being moved forward, in fact Steven and I were talking about it this morning. We’re working on a script right now, we’ll see a script probably February or March. If we can do some camera capture this summer, which I think we could do, then we would be on track to have the movie either Christmas 2014 or summer 2015, and so that’s what we’re looking at right now.
           So that's that. I hope this is good.

    "The Smurfs" DVD review: "Skip it"

        The Smurfs is out right now, and getting rented allot, the weird thing though is that I went to go rent the new Winnie the Pooh and it still hasn't even got to Blockbuster yet.
        The DVD has a new short with an all Christmas themed movie. Also does it come out with a little Clumsy Smurf plush toy at Wal-Mart.
       So just skip it, you dont want to do anything with this movie.

    The official list of Oscar short nominees

       The top 45 to go for the short film was posted a few days ago, now hears the official list-
    • A Morning Stroll
    • Dimanche/Sunday
    • I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat
    • La Luna
    • Luminaris
    • Paths of Hate
    • Specky Four-Eyes
    • The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
    • The Magic Piano
    • Wild Life
         I'm kinda surprised that I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat is even on hear. I'm kinda going for La Luna even though I haven't seen it, I wish that The Ballad of Nessie was on hear, that one cute. 

    Hairs of "ParaNorman"

        Hears a picture of one of the puppeteers/animator for the new film from the people that brought you the weird Oscar nominated film Coraline. This looks cool and frightening at the same time.  

    New "Angry Birds" level

         I still haven't played the Halloween themed Angry Birds, but now comes an all Christmas level. Has more of the new bird witch is good. Be sure to play it when it comes out.

    A look at the new "Angry Birds" level



    The new Angry Birds Christmas themed level has arrived, and hears the first look. Man, I wanna play this.

    First "Lady and the Tramp: Diamond Edition" trailer



    Hears the new trailer for special diamond edition of the classic Lady and the Tramp. Check it out.
