Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland (Ethan’s Review)

Posted on | March 7, 2010 | 1 Comment

OFFICIAL-cinema-Poster-alice-in-wonderland-2009-9603957-1440-720The movie begins when Alice is young and she’s with her Dad and has a bad dream about Wonderland.  Thirteen years later her Dad is gone and she goes to a party where a boy asks her to marry him.  The boys mom takes her for a walk and she sees a rabbit and then Alice runs off and falls down a rabbit hole.  There she meets all the characters from before like the Red Queen, White Queen, Tweedledee, Tweedledum, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Door Mouse, the Cheshire Cat and also meets new characters like the Bandersnatch, Jabberwocky and the Knave of Hearts.

My favorite character is the Mad Hatter because he is very funny and because he is as mad as a hatter.

My favorite part is the end battle when Alice fights the Jabberwocky and the Mad Hatter fights the Knave of Hearts, and all the Red Queens cards fight all the White Queen’s card.

I wanted to see it 3-D, but we didn’t because at the time we went at 1:30, it wasn’t playing in 3-D.

Rated PG for fantasy action/violence involving scary images and situations, and for a smoking caterpillar.
My rating is PG-13 for the same reasons.

Ethan’s Rating: 5 out of 5

This movie is about Alice who falls down a Rabbit Hole into Underland. Where she meets the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, a smoking Catepillar, a Red Queen, a White Queen, a fire breathing dragon and other strange creatures. She must battle through Underland in this action comedy fantasy, based on the original Lewis Carol books Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

My favorite character is the Mad Hatter, because he is funny.

My favorite part is when Alice fights the Jabberwocky because it’s action.

I rate this movie PG for fantasy violence, scary sequences, and oddness.

Rated PG for fantasy action/violence involving scary images and situations, and for a smoking caterpillar.

I did not see it in 3-D, although I wish I had.

Superman Returns (Ethan’s Review)

Posted on | February 7, 2010 | Add Comments

Superman has been gone for 5 long years.  And the world has moved on without him.  Fearless reporter Lois Lane now has a fiance, a son, and Pulitzer Prize for her article on “Why the World Doesn’t Need Superman”.  But now that Superman is back everyone’s happy, even Lois Lane is torn between her fiance and Superman.  Find out if Superman can tackle Lex Luthor in Superman Returns.

My favorite part is when Superman saves Lois and everyone on a plane, because I like when he flies up to the plane and carries it down to the baseball game and rips open the door.

My favorite character is Superman because he always saves the day.

Ethan’s Rating: 5 out of 5

My Rating: PG-13 for some intense action violence and romance. Recommended for ages 9+ lots and lots of meanness and Lex Luthor is pretty scary (check with your parents).

This movie is about Julie Powell who decides to make  all 524 recipes in 365 days from Julia Child’s  Mastering the art of french cooking. As she makes the recipes she does some fantastic things like make a blog about her cooking and makes some yummy food. She also does some not so great things like get in an argument with her husband and mess up a lot of food.

http://blog.80millionmoviesfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/julie_and_julia2.jpg

This movie is also about Julia Child who makes  her cook books with Simone Beck. My faviorite charachter is Julie  because she is funny and she is in my faviorite part. My faviorite part is when Julie cooks the lobster and it flies out of the pot.                                                

DYLAN’S RATING FIVE OUT OF FIVE:
