Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011), starring Justin Long, Jason Lee, David Cross, and is a live action movie with computer animated chipmunk characters laced into the movie for a nice sequel to the first live action move: Alvin and the Chipmunks.


So, the big question that many parents have is: "Is this a good movie for children?" I vote yes, this is a good movie for children. I took a two year old and a 12 year old to the movie. They both sat through the whole movie and enjoyed it. The two year old loved the bright colors of the chippettes and the singing and dancing that is characteristic of a "Chipmunk" movie. The twelve year old enjoyed the story, the banter between the chipmunks and chippettes, and the occassional human. For the adults, who have to take the kids to the movies, it is also enjoyable. I found the movie to be fun, tells a nice story, nothing too deep, but touching, especially for family feel. If you are looking for a deep Shakespearean, Oscar winning acting, then save your money, but this is a kids movie, not a movie about kings.

The actors do a good job, however.  Justin Long is very convincing as Alvin.  And who can argue that Matthew Gray Gubler does not know how to be nerdy Simon.  Who said he could only get into the minds of criminals?  He is a nerd, you know.  David Cross cannot help but being the annoying antagonist in the movie, as always.  Jason Lee is actually a very good dad, at least to little chipmunks. 

But, if you have any doubt about the movie, just ask Alvin.

The Smurfs

The Smurfs (2011) starring Hank Azaria and Neil Patrick Harris is a funny movie that is enjoyable by the kids and adults.  For those few of you that actually enjoyed the cartoon, this movie does justice to the movie, including bringing in tidbits only us loyal Smurf fans would dare  admit.  It also brings in a realistic affect of how our world and the  Smurf world connect, as well as brining in the creator of the Smurts, Peyo.  It also brings in a few cracks at the cartoon world vs. ours. Such as how cartoon characters wear the same clothes day in and day out.

Smurfette:  Oh, you changed your dress!
Papa Smurf:  Shh, Smurfette.  Don't embarass her.  She probably got it dirty.
The humor is innocent and cute.  Much unlike the current movies out today that only believe in potty humor for our youth. 
I was a little worried at first to have Gargamel in the movie.  I could easily see that he would be over the top stupid or be put into the "teenage humor" that so many of the evil characters tend to fall into.  He actually stayed true to his character and he made it believable and not the over-the-top-humor that these types of movies usually have.  My hats off to Hank Azaria for doing such a superb job at such a ridiculous character.
And of course, who can forget Neil Patrick Harris.  No matter, what you put this guy in, you have to smile as soon as he opens his mouth.  So, yes, he is a perfect fit for this little comedy. 
I was a little apprehensive at first about this movie, but this is definitely a 5 star movie under the children's comedy section of the video store. 

Let me know what you think.

Inception

Inception is a movie by Warner Brothers, Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, and Ellen Page.

I'l rate this movie as a 5 star intellectual science fiction, suspense/ psuedo action movie.  IMDB rates it as an action movie, but I would dub it more of a mild action movie.  But, when you have Angels in the Outfield boy fighting on the ceiling, you just don't get more action than that. 

-Property of Inception - Warner Brothers

The premise of the movie is  novel idea, in that in order to get your way, you need to implant ideas in people's dreams.  Instead of the usual corporate espionage of buying up shares from a dummy company, leave it to the Japanese to come up with the ultimate fail safe plan of getting control of a company.  Do not look at the fact that it cost him millions of dollars and lives lost, the ends justify the means.  But, the idea is still a cool one, and if he did not come up with it, Leo and Tommy Solomon would not have had a chance to inject themselves with a dream inducing chemical. 

The dream sequences were very imaginative.  The CG was very good and made you feel that the dreamworld was real.  The music also gave a very epicness to the movie.  Hans Zimmer, can do no less.

The movie gets a five star for being original.  I enjoy the Nolan brothers for this very reason.  In their movies, they tend to find a theme, twist it around, but stay true to its essence.  During the whole movie, you are sitting on the edge of your seat to see if Leo can pull off this great heist.  I felt that the acting was believable in this movie.  Leonardo's character, Cobb, is the main character, who has two missions to fill; one to keep his boss happy, and two to find peace with his wife in the dreamworld.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Arthur, is the trustworthy sidekick.  Ellen Page, Ariadne, is the usual rookie, who gives the viewer a person to relate to as the viewer gets to understand this new concept.  And then you have your usual side riff raff that all movies need to incorporate to seem fuller.
But, let me know what you think.
