The Lion King (Flack’s Review)
Posted on | February 6, 2011 | 1 Comment
The Lion King is about Simba who is the son of Mufasa, the current king. When Mufasa is killed Simba runs away from his home. On his journey he meets Timon and Pumba and is reunited with his old friend Nala. Meanwhile at the Pride Lands (Simba’s old home) all the animals are starving because of Scar, Simba’s uncle who has become king. When Nala reminds Simba that he is the rightful king he must choose. Will he return to the Pride Lands and claim that he is the king or never go home?
My favorite character is Simba because I think the animation,voice,and singing of him is very good. I also like what he does in the story. My favorite scenes are the songs Hakuna Matata, The Circle of Life and I Just Can’t Wait To Be King because I like the music.
The songs, animation, voices, story, and characters are all excellent. If you have not seen this movie you should definitely watch it. And just because the animation is traditional doesn’t mean it’s not absolutely stunning. The voices are all terrific especially the voices of Simba and Mufasa. The story and characters are well fleshed out too. The film is a Disney classic and a treat for all ages. If you like it you might want to see the equally equexcellent Broadway show. If you want to know about this and other movies that Disney struggled making you should see the amazing documentary Waking Sleeping Beauty. The film is rated G but I think it should be rated PG for a sad scene, brief scary images, and some accessional action scenes. I give the movie 5 out of 5 reels.
The Incredibles (Flack’s Review)
Posted on | February 6, 2011 | 1 Comment
The Incredibles is about Bob Parr aka Mr. Incredible who is a superhero. After saving a man who tried to kill himself Bob is sued by the man who didn’t want to be saved. Superheroes are then told to stop saving people and be regular or go away. Fifteen years later Bob is working at an insurance company and living a normal life with his wife Helen (who used to be Elastigirl, a superhero) and their three kids, Dash, Violet and a baby named Jack-Jack. After being fired from his job Bob gets a mysterious message. He puts his suit back on and travels to an island where he becomes captured. So his family must save him and together they must work together and defeat the bad guy, Syndrome. But can he and his family win? Watch the movie and find out.
My favorite character is Dash because I like that he can run fast. My favorite scenes are when Bob visits Edna (a fashion designer), when Helen visits Edna, and the forest battle. The first two I like because they’re funny and I like the third because I like the action.
The Incredibles is an excellent movie and one of Pixar’s best. The characters are well developed and the story is good. Some scenes are witty and funny while others are fast paced and action packed. I like how the movie combines genres (comedy, action, adventure, superhero movie) but is not messy. It seems like it is still all part of the movie. The voices are good especially Edna who the director Brad Bird voices. The animation is amazing and the characters are believable. I also love how the superhero’s powers are like the characters. For instance Violet is always very shy so she can become invisible. If you want to buy the movie be sure to check out the second disc full of awesome bonus features like the excellent features “The Making of the Incredibles” and “More Making of The Incredibles.” The movie is 115 minutes long and is rated for PG for action and violence. I agree with the MPAA rating system and also rate it PG for action and violence. I give the film 5 out of 5 reels. So if you have not seen this animated classic watch it as soon as you can.

STAR WARS III: Revenge of the Sith (Flick’s Review)
Posted on | February 3, 2011 | Add Comments
Reel Rating:4.7
The epic climax of the Star Wars saga is action packed and fast paced. Jedi General Anakin Skywalker must choose his destiny. Will he save the republic…or destroy it? The Clone Wars is almost over and the evil sith lords are losing. But if Anakin betrays the Jedi all hope could be lost. Who is the devious and evil mastermind causing the Clone Wars? Who will win the Clone Wars?
This is a prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy so if you have seen the original Star Wars films you know what will happen. Star Wars III has more lightsaber duels than any other Star Wars film. There are lots of action scenes that are very exciting and an interesting story. Make sure you watch the other Star Wars films before you see this one.
My favorite character is Obi Wan because he is very smart and good with his lightsaber.
My favorite scene is the lightsaber duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan one because unlike some action scenes in otehr movies it has a story and Anakin and Obi-Wan are battling for a reason.
Rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and intense images. My rating: PG-13 for sci-fi violence and intense images.
