Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland (Ethan’s Review)
Posted on | March 7, 2010 | 1 Comment
The 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.

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).

Ice Age: The Meltdown (Ethan’s Review)
Posted on | January 31, 2010 | 1 Comment
Ethan’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.

Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones (Ethan’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

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.
