    My personal favorite Pixar movie

    Pixar. With only seven movies you’ve built yourself a reputation as the greatest current animation studio of them all. Dreamworks has made some good ones and 20th Century Fox’s movies have made me chuckle a bit, and Disney has gone downhill in recent years. But you can consistently produce quality work with almost no stain on your track record (except A Bug’s Life, the one Pixar movie I did not enjoy). But I’ve lost track of my thoughts

    I’m here to talk about Monster’s Inc., my personal favorite Pixar movie

    I’m a doodler myself, and wan’t to be an animator someday. And I love drawing monsters. Weird looking, many armed, strange-eyed creatures. That may have been the 1st reason Monster’s Inc. appealed to me. So many of these creatures looked like something I would draw, and I spent much of my movie time looking at the creatures in the background

    I also was captivated by the world that was created in Inc. A big problem for me in Pixar’s newest movie Cars was lack of real explanation for their universe, like how they built their buildings. In Monster’s Inc. the monster world is explained so much more in depth, and we really believe this world could exist. There’s a beauty in watching the thousands of closet doors zoom around and I always get goosebumps from watching the ’scare montage’, because I now know the mechanics of the world these creatures live in. The characters in the world are also incredibly well realized. Mike and Sully both are easily relatable to, and even small characters have feelings and motivations we can understand. ‘Boo’ actually behaves like a young child would, and that helped me believe she had real emotions. But the creature Randall is what stole the show for me. With his many arms, chameleon-like ability and sheer voice presence, it was hard for me to keep my eyes off of him. But what really made me love this movie so was the characters. When it comes time for the ’sad part’ of this movie, I was sad. I was actually seeing an animated cartoon that managed to make me feel for these animated creatures without being emotionally manipulative. And I’m not afraid to admit that I cry 4 out of 5 times at the ending

    So, in the end, I can’t recommend this film enough. I think this stands above all other Pixar productions and is definitely one of the best animated films I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.

    “The Haunted Mansion” Movie Review

    “The Haunted Mansion” Plot Summary

    Workaholic Jim Evers, his wife/business partner and their two kids are summoned to a mansion. When they discover that the place is haunted, Jim discovers an important lesson about the family he’s neglected as they attempt to escape.

    Disney’s Latest Ghost Story

    ‘The Haunted Mansion’ is the latest movie to be based upon an attraction at the Disney theme parks. It stars Eddie Murphy as Jim Evers, a workaholic real estate agent who finds himself and his family trapped in a mansion infested with ghosts. The movie doesn’t rank as well as ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’ The story isn’t all that it should be. But the movie does have its good points. The art direction is beautiful, and there are plenty of visual gems. The ghosts seen in the graveyard are probably the best part of the movie. Terence Stamp puts in a suitably creepy performance as Ramsley, the butler, and Jennifer Tilly is kooky as Madame Leota. ‘The Haunted Mansion’ is no ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ but it is still worth a look.

    “Liar Liar” Movie Review

    “Liar Liar” Plot Summary

    A fast track lawyer can’t lie for 24 hours due to his son’s birthday wish after the lawyer turns his son down for the last time.

    The best comedy of 1997!

    ‘Liar, Liar’ was easily the best comedy of 1997. When I saw this when it first came out in theaters I was literally laughing my head off. Jim Carrey gives the best comic performance of his career here as Fletcher Reede, a fast-talking lawyer who’s always lying. His son Max doesn’t like this one bit. Fletcher promises Max that he’ll be at his 5th birthday party. But Fletcher calls and tells his ex-wife Audrey that he can’t make it because at the moment he’s being seduced by a female partner. Max has had enough. His birthday wish: for one day his father can’t tell a lie. And it miraculously comes true! And this is where the movie gets explosively funny. This is the beginning of a long and crazy day for Fletcher. He gets in trouble left and right. Everyone around him thinks he’s going crazy. And the habitual liar continuously makes a complete fool of himself. Carrey is the whole show here in what has got to be the craziest, nuttiest, silliest, goofiest, and downright best comic performance of his career. And he’s got a terrific cast of actors to support him. Maura Tierney and Justin Cooper shine in the main supporting roles as Audrey and Max, respectably. Swoosie Kurtz, Jennifer Tilly, Amanda Donohoe, Anne Haney, Cary Elwes, Mitchell Ryan, and the late Jason Bernard also generate laughs amongst the craziness. ‘Liar, Liar’ is one extremely funny comedy directed by Tom Shadyac who directed another crazy comedy, the aptly titled remake ‘The Nutty Professor’. ‘Liar, Liar’ has lots of big laughs and I enjoyed it alot. One of the best comedies of all-time.**** (out of four)

    “Stuart Little” Movie Review

    “Stuart Little” Plot Summary

    The Little family adopt a charming young mouse named Stuart, but the family cat wants rid of him. add synopsis

    Excellent Family Comedy with many famous talents…

    Stuart Little is a comedy perfect for the entire family with may great talents

    There are many familiar faces, such as Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, known for playing Sarcastic Gregory House of House, MD., Johnathen Lipniki of The Littlest Vampire, SNL’s Julia Sweeny, and a cameo of Golden Girls’ Estelle Getty (She Played Sophia).

    There are also many great voices, such as Michael J. Fox (Currently associated in a controversy of his Parkinson’s disease ad)as the ‘little’ hero, Stuart, Nathan Lane and Vincent Pastore as a particularly menacing cat named Smoky

    The CGI effects are stunning. Stuart looks very life-like and so do the cats, who are pretty much the real thing

    The film is based upon the book by E.B. White, best known for his book-turned-film, Charolette’s Web (Look for the Live action film in theaters December).

    The Little family is looking to adopt a child…and what they got was Stuart, a white, orphan mouse. Mr. and Mrs. Little immediately take to him and choose him. However, George Little is far from impressed…to have a mouse for a brother…but, whom is even more dismayed is the family cat, Snowbell, being his name would be ruined of his cat buddies were to find out about Stuart, a ‘Mouse with a Pet Cat…’ So, as Stuart spends time to his new family the leader, Smoky, plots to rid the family of Stuart once and for all…But Stuart is ready for them…This is a sparkling, charming adaption of E.B. White’s novel.’Little Hi, Little Lo…Little Hey, Little Ho!’
