Kids/Family
Pixar have some great animation techniques and Toy Story 3 is their very best so far, and by far.
The movie begins in Andy's room, where the toys have been in Andy's toy box for years. andy is now 17 years old and going off to college, and has to choose what to do with the best part of his childhood. He can put the toys in the attic, in the bin or donate them to Sunnyside daycare centre. he opts to put them in the attic, but the toys end up in the car, on their way to Sunnyside.Everything about this place came out of a toy's best dream ever, except for the toddler room and after a hard day in there, the toys ask to be moved but end up in the slammer. The need to get out and say one last goodbye to Andy, or will they fail and spend a miserable life in the slammer?
This movie is all about friendship, and being a children's film, it was easy to pick out, but takes it to a whole new level, and it also has hard to grasp technical language as well (probably me not picking it up, being Australian) and I didn't get some of it. there was also some music and effects that didn't fit the moment, and any other problems really just came from the simple plot used. I know that that seems harsh, but comparing it to films like Avatar which a long time in the planning (much like Toy Story 3), it doesn't give the feeling of a very thought out plot.
The animation is good along with character and set design, as well as the voice acting.
This a pretty good film. It isn't to cheesy, but it is childish and a simple film, and growing up with the series, it made me a bit upset that they ended the series the way the did, but they couldn't leave us hanging without an end to it all so it really made sense in the end.

BEAN WITH A SIDE OF LAUGHTER
In this hlarious comedy, Rowan Atkinson (Johnny english, Black Adder)stars as the whacky character in Mr Bean in the popular 'Mr Bean't.v series. This movie will leave you bursting out the seams.
Mr Bean wins a trip to Cannes where he is immediately thrown into disaster. Mr Bean successfully separtes a son from a father, feeling guilty he tries to help the child find his father. Things get worse for Mr Bean after he loses all his possesions including his wallet/money. This eventually leads him to walking the streets of France. with a child who is relying on Mr Bean to help him. He finally hitches a ride from a local, who later Mr Bean fids out is an up-and-coming moviestar. Mr Bean is then thrown relentlessly into the moviestar's problems,too.
Will Mr Ban help his new-found friends or will he leave them to relax on the vacation that he was supposed to be on?
Mr Bean is played by the comedic actor Rowan Atkinson. Rowan Atkinson plays this role to perfection because, of his ability to slip in to his character's shoes. Rowan Atkinson's bizarre looks and facial expressions contribute to his great acting in this movie.
I would recommend this movie for any age because it is a great laugh for younger people and an enjoyable storyline for adults. This movie has such a funny ad heartwarming story.

When the pair reach Paradise Falls, to Carls frustration the house lands on the other side of the falls.
Can Carl and Russel make it through treaterious jungle and make it to the famous Paradise Falls?
The movie is nuts....
Let's start with the bad stuff: The plot is AMAZINGLY STUPID(The chipmunks owner has to go to the hospital and the hipmunks have to go to HIGH SCHOOL!)They're not even young enough to go there,and nobody seems to care that there are singing chipmunks! And when the chipettes come,it gets worse!! They seem to be there only for girl and boy humor. And speaking of humor,all the jokes and the entire movie is a cliche. The soundtrack is no longer hit songs of modern times and yesteryear,but only modern bubblegum pop hits,making this movie a desperate attermpt to fit a 60's craze into today's pop culture. And the humor is typical 5th grader stuff. And the name is stupid! As for the good stuff:THERE IS NONE! This movie is a cheap tie-in to capitilize on the first film's sucess(FYI the first film was great). 9/11 is better than this. AVOID,AVOID,AVOID!!!
A kid comedy based on the bestselling book.
The movie is,well,wimpy. It looks too new(except for cheese,which looks old but fake)and the comedy may be taken right from the book,but it loses that touch. And there are still characters in here that were never in the book or don't resemble the characters in the book. Your kiddos will want to see this,though. Bottom line:Wait for the DVD.
A band of kids embark on a journey to find the lost treasure of One-Eyed Willy.
Introduction
Over the eighteen years I spent living and breathing on this earth I’ve wasted many hours sitting back, and watching a flick. Dark Knight, Rocky, Frankenstein, The Deer Hunter, you name it I’ve seen it. But, there was always this one exception to the rule. A 1985 comedy adventure from executive producer Steven Spielberg called The Goonies (sound familiar?) was one of the few mainstream movies which I’ve never experience through my own eyes. Over the years I’ve let all the references to “the truffle shuffle”, “hey you guysssssssss!”, and most importantly “Baby Ruth” fly right on over my head. For years, many of my friends and family have been suggesting for me to watch The Goonies, but I never actually had the chance to watch the film. With free time on my hands, and The Goonies anxiously waiting for me to view, I kicked back, relaxed, and tried to comprehend the hype.
Review
Even though I’ve never had the chance to watch The Goonies until recently, right from the start I could tell the movie had a nostalgic feeling to it (Like pretty much every eighties movie). I can imagine why this movie is considered a cult classic among the many critics of the cinema community. This is a great movie to watch when you’re older, so you can reflect on old childhood memories. The Goonies was saturated with everything a child loves in a movie. Action, adventure, comedy, characters they can connect with, and of course pirates. If I was eight years younger this movie would be my movie of choice. But, don’t be fooled by the PG rating, because this film is fun for kids and adults. There are many juvenile jokes to keep kids on their seats, but at the same time humor suitable for more mature audiences. It’s pretty hard for a children’s film to keep my attention for such a long period of time, but The Goonies had me bursting out laughing every couple of minutes. And, while I couldn’t connect too many of the younger characters in the movie I could kind of connect to the teenage character named Brandon Walsh. All of the characters featured in The Goonies are different inside and out, and allows the viewers at home to bridge with the character of their choice. This movie is just nonstop fun throughout the whole two hours. The combination of Sloth, criminals, and pirates kept my attention glued to the television for the entire movie. These are the many different elements which allow The Goonies to stand out among the many classic family films, and be classified as one of the most memorable movies from the eighties. And, after eighteen years I finally know what the truffle shuffle is.
The 2009 adaptation of the classic Dickens tale. It shows off one of the newest elements to filmaking: performance capture, and is presented for theater audiences in 3D. Directed by Robert Zemeckis who was behind 2004's Polar Express and 2007's Beowulf.
Acting - 6
I was quite impressed with Jim Carrey's performances in this movie. He portrays a multitude of characters and the performance capture techniques employed by the director do a good job of masking their appearance and really making the characters come to life. In fact, a very enjoyable part of the viewing experience was attempting to decipher who played whom. His take on Ebenezer Scrooge was not unlike many portrayals in the past. Where he really shines is in the parts of the three primary ghosts in the film. Gary Oldman's Bob Cratchit is an unassuming optimist with not an ounce of ill will in his heart. Oldman also appears in the role of Jacob Marley, the former business parter of Scrooge who haunts him on Christmas Eve. The majority of this role is geared around special effects so it's hard to say where the acting is actually impressive and where it's made to look impressive. Not the best performance by Oldman, but a solid one at that. Colin Firth appears in a relatively minor role as Scrooge's nephew, Fred. All in all, a typical showing from Firth who seems content to appear in movies surrounded by big names without trying to stand out. Bob Hoskins, Cary Elwes, and Robin Wright Penn appear in small roles which add to the movie quite nicely.
Story - 5
The greatest thing about the story and dialogue in this film is that it was willing to stay true to the original text found in Dickens' novella. Old English is frequently used and the movie, which seems to be geared towards children at first, never does dumb down the dialogue or the themes chosen for the story. The only thing that I was bothered by were the various chase scene's speckled here and there in the movie in an attempt to make the movie more viewable for casual movie-goers. The story is a classic for a reason, and while it does not do anything new, it presents the story to a newer audience in a more appealing shuttle.
Audio - 4
I was mostly disappointed by the audio because of the bland cookie-cutter carols found in just about every Christmas film ever. I would've been much more drawn to the music had I not been presented with the same songs that I learned to associate with Home Alone over 15 years ago. Just because the appearance of the movie is quite dazzling is no excuse for subaverage music selections.
Visual - 9
The performance capture in this film did more than make the movie look astonishing. It allowed for things to be done which normally would be impossible in any other movie. The ghosts are able to appear in very classical form, but without looking at all cheesy. The actors were able to seamlessly play multiple characters and forget the difficulties of changing or freshening up for every scene. The 3D performance (which was my first 3D viewing experience) made for important supplements to the overall product. I would say that if viewers are planning on seeing this movie at all that they should do it in theaters and in 3D because I'm not sure that it would be at all the same anywhere else.
Product - 6
I was pleasantly surprised in watching this movie. The group I was with decided to see it as a last minute decision and I ceded my vote in an attempt to make the process go a bit faster. I did not go in expecting much, but I enjoyed myself. The 3D action was more than enough to make just about any movie good in that situation, and the anachronistic presentation sat well with me. I was even able to drown out the song selections by trying to find out which actors were playing who and by reveling in the visual splendor. This movie is worth seeing if you are willing to see it in theaters.
Overall Score:
6.0 stars out of 10
Thanks for reading this review of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets
This one wasn't the best Harry Potter film. It was more like watching paint dry up. It was boring with the snake. Because you know it's cool but it could never happen in real life. And this one was the least best. It was really okay. Nothing to get a great rating of. This one had bad moments at best. And when I want magical movies I need movies that make me think wow this is really happening. The sixth film they made in 2009 to me is the best. The first one was the second best. Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets was good but nothing special. Overall okay but nothing great.
For overall rating I give Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets ****** six stars
A true rocken movie.
Thanks
for reading this review of Camp Rock starring Demie Lovato and The Jonas Brothers
This movie was one of the best kid movies about a rock and roll summer camp. I think the singing was awesome. Cool and good dancing. It was very likely this is to me a great way to shoot, write and creat a true classic rock and roll movie. This one was flat out great. It was not horrible and didn't have any bad moments. The dialoge was okay in some places nothing great in some scenes. but it was truly good. And Demi Lovato was an exllcent choice for the roll Of Mitchy. And she cleary set good acting skills and didn't change her charector. This movie goes to show ya it's true greatest scenes. And nothing could possibly be worse than other movies Disney had to offer. And Camp Rock is Origanl and a true classic film. The movie was decent and good. Overall it was great and good. Some scenes were just okay though. It was good. And it was a good choice to make.
For overall rating I give Camp Rock ******* seven stars
Ben Stiller back in top form in this charming little sequel, Night at the museum 2. Ex security guard larry Daily is now a successful and dedicated inventor making helpful little products. He also misses his friends that are back at the natural history museum and are about to be shipped to the smithsonian. Larry must follow and save his friends from an evil new villain that is lurking in the museum or suffer great consequences.
Despite the great cast and the charming special effects, Night at the Museum 2 lacks the humour and the peformances that the original film contained.
