Posted on | January 31, 2010 | 1 Comment
In the Providence Journal I read an article about the Oscars. It said instead of five best picture nominations there will be ten this year. But they said only five will really matter. Read the article here.
The full list of nominees for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards will be announced on February 2nd.
Ice Age: The Meltdown (Flick’s Review)
Posted on | January 31, 2010 | 1 Comment
Flick’s Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1/2
This movie is about Manny, Diego, and Sid who have lived during the ice age for a long time, but now it is melting. They set off on a daring adventure. On the way, they meet Elie and two possums (Crash and Eddie). Together the band goes to warn the other animals about the meltdown. They also fight sea creatures.
This is the sequel to Ice Age. In every Ice Age movie there is a new good guy and a different bad guy.
My favorite character is Manny, because he leads the good guy team.
My favorite part is when Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie and the two possums go to fight the sea creatures because it is climactic and adventurous.

Batman: 1966 (Flack’s Review)
Posted on | January 30, 2010 | 3 Comments
Flack’s Rating: 5 out of 5
This movie, based on a comic book and TV show, is about Batman and Robin. When they find out The Riddler, Joker, Catwoman, The Penguin, and a band of pirates have joined forces, Batman and Robin go on adventure like no other. In this adventure they find out Catwoman is a spy. In action scenes and funny sequences Batman and Robin fulfill their adventure with the help of Albert, their helper.
My favorite part is at the end when Batman and Robin fight The Riddler, Joker, Catwoman, The Penguin, and the pirates in a sword fight and a punching fight on a boat because I like the action and the animated action words printed on the screen like “BOOM”, “KAPOW”, “OUCH”, “KERPLOP”, and “SPLOSH”.
My favorite character is Robin, the boy wonder because I like his suit and when he is in action sequences because he is brave, he saves people and he is cool. He is my favorite Superhero and I even dressed up as Robin for fun adventures at home.
MPAA Raing: Rated PG
My rating is PG for mild violence and action scenes, romance, a bad word, and explosions. This is not as violent as the new Batman movies at all. This is appropriate for ages 5 and up. This may have too much action for some kids, parents judge for yourself.

Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones (Flick’s review)
Posted on | January 20, 2010 | Add Comments
In this thrilling sequel of Star Wars a bounty hunter is killed by a mysterious bounty hunter. Obi wan kenobi and Anakin report in. Obi wan is assigned to visit a clone facility led by the mysterious bounty hunter called Jango Fett. While Anakin is assigned to protect Padm’e . With a few stuning lightsaber duels and bounty hunter fights this sequel of Star Wars is probably the best. Faster more intense (George Lucas’s plan as the Star Wars movies go on) is definitely shown in this movie.
My favorite character is Obi wan kenobi because I like when he chase’s Jango Fett in his spaceship in an asteroid field because it’s kind’a like in episode 5 when the Millennium Falcon goes into an asteroid field.
My favorite part is when Obi wan, Anakin,and Yoda lightsaber duel against Count Dooku because it was faster more intense.
Rated PG for substained Sci-fi action violence

Face Value:Where Actors And Effects Begin

Listen to Bob Mondello (a film critic) and Michele Norris (interviewer on NPR) discuss who deserves the Oscar for best actor here. Is it the actor or the computer animators who digitialise the character? I think it’s hard to choose because they are all doing alot of work.
Up and Fox are tough to beat

I just read an article in the New York Times called Look Out Pixar Here Comes Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’s about how usually Pixar wins an Oscar but this year maybe it won’t. It was a very good article!!! If you read the “i o” awards then you now which is our favorite .
