Legend Of The Guardians:The Owls Of Ga'Hoole

Based on the Best-Selling Book Series Guardians Of Ga'hoole. A new step in animation. Ladies and Gentlemen I present my review for LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS:THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE!

Warner Bros has done it again. This time with an animated movie about Owls. Why did I like it so much? Well here you go. First lets talk about the story. Before going to see this movie you should know its based on the first 3 books in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole Series:The Capture, The Journey, and The Rescue. Now you may think "Oh this movie is just about owls and it has no story at all". But if you think that then you are very very wrong. I was surprised at how rich in details and how amazing the story was. If I could describe it in one word it would be-Breathtaking. The story was just that good. It had true meaning. It showed Soren and his Friend's struggles to save their kingdom and what they came across trying to accomplish big feats. I was truly moved and felt lots of emotions while watching the film. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when it seemed that Soren's younger sister had died. It's fantastic that in 90 minutes a story like that could be so touching and so good. Next, lets talk about the acting. Even though some of the actors are not well known I thought all of the voices were wonderful! I would like to give praise to Helen Mirren who voice the evil Nyra. Every time I heard her villainous voice I always got the chills. Next, I would like to give praise to Geoffrey Rush who plays secret hero Ezylryb. His ragged voice fit Ezylryb so much it was amazing. Lastly, I would like to give praise to Jim Sturgess who plays dreamer Soren. Jim's voice fit Soren so well that if another actor had voiced Soren I don't think I would like the movie as much! Lastly, lets talk about the visuals. Now this is my favorite part! This was one of the best animation I have seen in years! It was amazing! The animation made the owls look so real! One of my favorite parts though was the Slo-Mo affect. It was so cool! Every time there was a battle scene the would use Slo-Mo! Some might argue that too much was used but actually I was very fond of it. In one scene, two owls jumped into the air to fight, Slo-Mo kicked in, and slowly they moved forward to attack! It was amazing! Also, I think that you have not fully experienced this movie until you have seen it in 3D! Usually 3D is just a little thing that makes movies cost more to see but trust me this one was worth it! The battle scenes were great in 3D and so was the journey scenes! Its kind of like there is a great story and people can make it better just like 3D does to this movie! Before I Go, I want to say that Zach Snyder (this films director) has a wonderful movie and because hes so smart (otherwise he couldn't make a movie this good!) making a franchise would be a smart decision and I will definitely be first in line!

To wrap up my Review "Legend Of The Guardians:The Owls Of Ga'Hoole is one of the best animated movies I have ever seen and I hope they will make a franchise out of it!" I will give it a 10 and a A+!

A True Example!

For those of you who have read my other post I talked about how Critics are ruining Kids Movies and we need to stop that by getting my blog on top and there reviews off! Now the Cats and Dogs sequel The Revenge of Kitty Galore came out Friday with a 13% ROTTEN Approval Rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it performed poorly. And on its opening weekend Kitty Galore grossed only 12 million. Its not a coincidence its Critics! Just cuz there adults they rip on every Non-Animated Kids movie there is. And because of that they ruin the movies box office entirely. Since they keep giving Kids Movies bad reviews I will see Cats and Dogs:The Revenge of Kitty Galore and tell you how it TRULY is and how its is from a kids point of view. Make sure to tell your friends and family to listen to my blog and not the other critics and if I get enough followers on my blog (you guys can follow me and help!) we can truly make a difference and I might become a Certified Critic! So what are you waiting for! Tell evry1 you know 'bout my blog and make sure to follow it and have your friends and family follow it so that we can show how good or bad Kids Movies TRULY are! Thx for Listening and Keep and eye out for my review on Cats and Dogs:The Revenge of Kitty Galore!

Sorry and here ya go!

I know i haven't posted a lot up lately but Ive been really busy but heres something! OK so as you know the people who rate movies are called CRITICS! (like me!) But I'm different from them cuz they are all adults and I'm a tween (11 to be exact). Now why I created this website was to Rate Kids Movies for kids so they could see how a movie was through a kids point of view. But all of those stupid critics are ADULTS and mostly adults don't like animal movies so those over payed slobs decide to write a terrible review for a great movie and then parents read that,say that they wont see it and BOOM! its affects the movie's box office ENTIRELY!! For Example Yahoo Users (REAL PEOPLE!) gave this years Marmaduke a B+ but the critics gave it a 8% ROTTEN approval grade on Rotten Tomatoes. Which some parents read and thought "O then we WONT SEE THIS!" and that's why it bombed at the box office and only got 31,000,000. Now sometimes that doesn't happen (Ex. Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Cats and Dogs) but most of the time it does. Like this weeks new release Cats and Dogs:The Revenge of Kitty Galore got a 13% ROTTEN approval at bombed at the Friday box office only getting 4.2 million. What I want you to take out of this is "If your a kid and there's a Kids Movie you want to see but your parents read that its bad tell them to read my review and you'll get you wish!" If tons of people subscribe to my blog we can overthrow those NASTY critics and Kids Movies will get the true reviews they deserve! Peace Out!

Toy Story 3

One of My Favorite Series Of All time! One of the most Anticipated Movies of 2010! Ladies and Gentlemen Disney Pixar Presents TOY STORY 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pixar had done it again. Now I'll tell you why. First lets talk about the acting. Of Course, Tom Hanks,Tim Allen,Joan Cusack and the entire original cast did a superb job but it was the new characters I'll be giving praise to. First Of All, I LOVED Michael Keaton as the LOL Ken. Just how he used his voice and how he gave SO much character to the smooth-talking doll made me almost fall out of my chair laughing! Next I loved Ned Beatty as the villainous Lotso. He applied so much anger and voice to his character that you could actually hate him,A LOT! Lastly, I would like to give praise to Timothy Dalton who plays the strict play-loving hedgehog (who wears lederhosen) Mr. Pricklepants. He makes his voice sound so much like an British actor that if you were drinking pop during his lines you would have a SPIT-TAKE! As for Blake Clark (the new actor who replaced Jim Varney as Slinky Dog) he did such a great job that you could mistake his voice for Jim Varney's. Now, Lets talk about the story. First, like any other Pixar movie this one had ever-so-funny jokes but Toy Story 3 probably had the most. Almost every second I was laughing out loud! But its not the jokes that Pixar used to get so popular. Its the Story and Meaning. This was probably my favorite Pixar movie ever not only because of the jokes but also because of the meaning. Toy Story 3 has hidden messages that little kids won't be able to understand but they're in there and they can touch you so much that you'll find yourself shedding a few tears when you realize what they are. Also, its story went to INFINITY AND BEYOND as Buzz Lighyear would say because it had a true story and it didn't use the jokes to override that. I used the jokes to make it even better. Overall, the story was breathtaking and I loved it. Third, Lets talk Direction. The director is Lee Unkrich (Never heard of him? He's been in Pixar for a while but this is his Directorial Debut and he didn't fail. He worked his butt off to make this movie the best it could be and he didn't fail. He made sure that just like every Pixar movie this one had meaning and that it had its funnyness with its important heartfelt story. I think Lee Unkrich did a great,amazing,spectacular job and he should be in Pixar for a long time. Lastly,lets talk about its visuals. That's right! The Animation. Now as we all now Pixar is also known for its special touch in animation and they didn't fail that in Toy Story 3. In fact this was probably the best animation they have ever done. The way they captured the emotions on the toy's faces and how they created all the scenery was just Fantastic.

Now to sum up my review I would say "Toy Story 3 excedes Pixar's other movies to be the best yet with its beautiful animation to its breathtaking story and LOL actors under Direction of the magnificant Lee Unkrich. I would give it an A+ and a 10! Heck why not add another plus to make it an A++! Hope you liked my review! See Ya Soon!

Breakup in Paris!




The Suite Life On Deck (I'm sad to say) ends with The Breakup of the Power-Couple Cody and Bailey. But Lets not let us get us down because this one of the best EPISODES EVER!!!!!!!! I Particularly loved The Sub-Plot of Zack and Woody getting in trouble with some Art Thief's. It was HILARIOUS and so so funny to see them on a plane heading to Mongolia and how they got out! Also, that wasn't the only episodes funny part. London and Cody had some LOL Moments too! SPOILER ALERT:When Cody asked out London for a practice date they had tons of Funny hi jinks on their little date. Now here's the Story. But the funny quickly ended when Bailey ran off crying because she saw Cody kissing a HIDEOUS french girl. But the French Girl was really London and her and Cody didn't even kiss. Before Bailey found that out she went to a French guy who comforted her but Cody saw that through a telescope and thought that she was cheating on him! When Bailey found out that Cody and London never kissed she goes back to Cody to say sorry and Lets Start The Party! But Cody doesn't agree and they start to have a fight. They both decide to breakup and Bailey runs off crying while Cody states "This was the Worst night of MY LIFE!" SPOILERS END HERE I think that they should have gotton back together and I wasn't bawling but I shed a tear or two when they broke up. The thing is most shows don't make you feel a lot of emotions but Breakup in Paris was that exception. This finale made you Laugh,Cry,and just feel happy the entire way through. Granite, the special effects were cheesy and the show could have been a little too long or short depending on how you feel about it but over all this Episode is one you shoudn't miss and I'd give it a A- and 9! See Ya Soon Bloggers!

Shrek Forever After



One Of my FAVE movie Series of all time. One of The Most Anticipated Movies of This Year. The Green Guys Is Officially.....BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OK so here is my Review for THE FINAL CHAPTER!!!! Well First Of All, lets talk CHARACTERS! Since this is the last movie of course they wanted to try to add as much character depth possible of course and they didn't fail. They added so much emotion to the characters that you could actually feel them (NOT TALKING ABOUT 3D FEELING THEM). Out of all The Movies This one probably had the best Characters. Next, lets talk Animation. I personally think that they did a great job especially creating the characters emotions on their face. I also liked how they made Rumpelstiltskin look. His look made him look cute,weird,and funny but it still made you hate him. Third, Lets talk acting! I think the Actors and Actresses had the one of the best performances of the entire series in this film. I also had two favorite actors to give praise to from Shrek Forever After. First of all: Antiono Banderas. Of Course, his character (Puss in Boots) would make you laugh just cause of his obesity but that's not all. His voice was GREAT in trying to sound like an obese person mixed with that ever so adorable Puss-Charm. My Next Praise goes to: Walt Dohrn. He voices the crazy Rumpelstiltskin. When you say his name it doesn't sound like a known actor but that's because he actually WORKS for Dreamworks Animation and was chosen for the part after the heard him creating test tracks for the character. When I first heard his voice I seriously thought it was Jack Black because it sounded just like his Animated-Funny voice. I loved the voice and I think Walt was born for that role! Lastly, lets talk story. Its kinda Like Shrek mixed with Its A Wonderful Life. Shrek is bored with his life and signs a contract with smooth-talking Rumpelstiltskin that takes him to an Alternate version of Far Far Away where Him and Fiona have never met, Donkey is afraid of Shrek and Puss is an Obese House Cat. Out of the series this probably had the best story and made me laugh the most. The Story wasn't just scribbled down on paper. It actually was touching,funny,heartwarming, and made sense!
To Sum Up the Review "Shrek Forever After is a great end to series that makes you laugh,cry,and just actually feel the characters in an Awesome story that I would give a 9 and A-. So what are you waiting for! GO AND SEE IT!!!"
