Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked Movies

The same applies for their female counterparts, the Chipettes, who were introduced in the They will respond to the bold colors, the lighthearted physical gags, and the cuteness of the title characters, all computer generated rodents with fluffy cheeks, little twitchy noses, big expressive eyes, and adorable helium voices. 99.9% of this movie is made for them and them only. You deserve at least that much if you plan on taking your children, who I'm sure you love dearly, to see it. I will do you the favor of not spoiling the two I took notice of if there are any jokes I forgot about, well, you can consider it a bonus.

Parents, be forewarned There are precious few jokes included for your enjoyment. I guess this means no more jokes about eating your brother's accidental defecation and pretending it's a raisin. Indeed, it's the first of the series to receive a G rating. There's no complicated plot, no deep character development, no messages that haven't already been delivered, it's simply a bright, colorful, goofy, innocent film. That's because this time, I recognized it was made for really young children.

Instead, I went through all of its eighty seven minutes with numb indifference. I didn't feel the intense dislike I felt for the previous film. This year, I'm faced with Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. Two years ago, I showed no mercy to Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel. Four years ago, I went somewhat easy on Alvin and the Chipmunks, although in retrospect, I probably could have been much harder.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol Movies

Mission Impossible 4 at Star CineplexMission Impossible 4 Ghost Protocol

For the first time in what seems like ages, I didn't ask any questions. I just sat back and let the Bird gives audiences what they want without insulting their intelligence. And yet, never once does anyone stop to wink at us slyly. It also makes no apologies for being preposterous, as evidenced by the outlandish displays of technology and numerous scenes of destruction and death defying escapes. Ghost Protocol shows a clear awareness of the spy movie formula, utilizing such clichés as frequent travel, exotic locations, high tech gadgets and gizmos, impossible stunt work, foreign madmen, nuclear codes and a scheme to create chaos and war on a global scale.

But it also shouldn't be so silly that it becomes a self congratulatory form of parody. If there's anything a movie like this shouldn't do, it's take itself too seriously. It even has just the right amount of humor. It actually makes an effort with an engaging plot, clever dialogue, pulse pounding stunts, great special effects and well developed characters.

This is a fun, thoroughly entertaining, immensely satisfying spy/action thriller. He succeeds. With Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, Pixar veteran Brad Bird not only makes his live action directorial debut, he's also eager to have you forget the first three entries in the series entirely. What I do remember, obviously, is that they all starred Tom Cruise. I've seen all the previous Mission: Impossible films, and while I do recall liking them to varying degrees, I'm hard pressed to say that I remember anything about their plots, characters, stunts, special effects or even their casts.

New Year's Eve Movie

The biggest difference is that, while the previous film focused almost Furthermore, although the film once again features Jessica Biel, Ashton Kutcher, and Hector Elizondo a veteran of Marshall's films, they play different characters than the ones they played in Valentine's Day. Where else to be on the last day of the year than in New York, specifically Times Square? This makes perfect sense.

For one thing, whereas Valentine's Day took place in Los Angeles, New Year's Eve takes place in New York City. But there are some key differences. All feature a number of characters whose lives are, to some degree, interconnected. Unabashed star vehicles, both films are a series of intercut vignettes taking place over the course of one day. If you've read my reviews, then it's your own fault for not seeing this coming a mile away.

Yes, this is yet another instance of me going easy on a romantic comedy. It's mushy, routinely implausible, a little too coincidental, and often times highly predictable, and yet I found the subplots a lot easier to keep track of, I could invest in more of the characters, and in some instances, I was genuinely touched. I described it as a romantic comedy with Attention Deficit Disorder. I could easily make the same argument for New Year's Eve, and yet I feel much more forgiving this time. Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve is ostensibly a sequel to last year's Valentine's Day, a film I was very critical of for its surplus of subplots, overabundance of characters and ceaseless intercutting.

The Tree of Life Movie Trailer

Above all, while comparisons can be made It is the rare film whose flaws only make it more intriguing, since life itself is flawed and disconnected in much the same way. It is also a film that deserves comparison to Darren Aronofsky's extremely underrated masterpiece The Fountain (2006) in its themes of the interconnectedness of all time and space and the way in which we are all affected by forces beyond our control and understanding. The Tree of Life is a staggeringly ambitious film that evokes not only the monumental beginnings of all existence in the universe, but also the tiny, specific details of ordinary lives, the result is a flaw but profound epic on the scale of 2001 with the emotional resonance that Kubrick's more detached approach is often accused of lacking.

His latest film is likely his best work to date I still haven't seen 1978 Days of Heaven, widely regarded as his greatest achievement up until now and it certainly feels like his most personal, while simultaneously tackling the huge metaphysical ideas of Kubrick's own greatest work, A Space Odyssey (1968). Between the sheer cinematic perfection of his work and its anti prolific output, he is reminiscent of perhaps the cinema's greatest auteur, the late Stanley Kubrick. The beauty and complexity of his images are almost in a league of their own. Terrence Malick is a truly extraordinary and enigmatic filmmaker, over the course of the last 38 years, he has directed only five films, each one of which is widely regarded as a consummate masterpiece.
