That Old Box of Disney Toys

Movie Title:  Toy Story 3
Starring: Tim Allen, Tom Hanks
Genre: Family
Director: Lee Unkrich
Produced By: Disney/Pixar

Description of Movie: The toys that we know and love are thought to be the toys that are supposed to go to the day-care centre as Andy leaves for cottage. It's up to everyone's favourite cowboy, Woody to convince the others that they weren't abandoned, and bring theem back home.

Review: This movie really lived up to what the other two did (in fact, it was MUCH better than the 2nd one..) which is great for a series like this, when most sequels are not at all good. Toy Story 3 kept that family feel to the rest of the trilogy while still being able to entertain those older kids (like me) or the EVEN older kids, like the parents that everyone knows watched Toy Story, and loved it. The idea that the toys would be leaving the Disney toy box was life threatening to some, while heartfelt to others; in fact, it was sort of a bittersweet moment when the film came to it's heartfelt and heartstring tugging end. I almost wonder if this will be the same feeling when the inevitable time comes when the GREAT SERIES THAT IS HARRY POTTER will come to an end, come July 15th.
On one hand I wanted to cry because the series ended, while on the other, I was overcome with happiness by the way that it all ended.
Perfectly.
All who have seen it will know what I mean when I say that the movie almost ended the way UP did, it was going to make everyone cry (of course, the actual ending may have too). Alas, the movie was a great success, both in  the box office and in everyone's home, and was a great way to end the series. The movie was full of laughter, joy and those ever Toy Storyish moments of "WOAH! Did (s)he just do that!" with new characters, and old favourites everyone must watch this movie, because it is almost guaranteed that you will like it (if you liked the other two of course).

Description of Movie:  Sara, a new college student finds herself living with a roommate who quickly becomes obsessed with Sara, which takes a turn for the worse.

Review: Wow. It's been a while since our last review, and what better to kick it off with than a Suspense film (well, it could be Wayne's World I guess..). I cannot believe how unbelieveably creepy this movie is. The movie is creepy, but still mediocre at the same time. Unfortunately, this movie had potential to be great, but wasn;t. There were too many instances in the movie that called for unrational reactions. This movie was full of glamorized violence (glamorized violence is violence that occurs, but fails to show any conaequences or aftermaths) and events initiated by Rebecca (the roommate) that were left unresolved by the end of the movie. This is a movie that I figured would leave me on the edge of my seat, (almost like Taken did) but instead left me sitting there bored by the middle of the film. Rebecca IS crazy, she does some unrational and psychotic things in the movie, including self inflicted mutilation, harassment beyond belief and even murdering animals for her own gain. The fact that all of these things go unresolved make the rationality of this movie beyond unbelievability, no matter how real this situation could really be. Unfortunately, this movie didnèt live up to the potential to become what it could have been.

*Side Note: Although I have never seen it, I understand that this is essentially the G rated version of Single White Female. That might be a better movie to pick up...
