Toy Story 3 was all sorts of awesome
There are a lot of things that could be said about the movie including how it is, in my opinion, the best prison break movie that graced the screens for the first time in years. It is a well-weaved and wonderful tale of mortality and the pains (and pleasure too, I guess) of leaving childhood behind. Funny and tear-jerking – Toy Story 3 has that unbeatable combination that Pixar is starting to perfect with its long line of excellent full-length feature films. It’s the kind of movie that all filmmakers should strive to make.
Toy Story 3 was worth all the hype. It was well-animated and very moving, especially towards the end. I had to keep myself from bawling with the ending but it’s also worth noting that even the credits solicited some LOLs.
All in all, the Toy Story series is a really nice trilogy that displays, more than anything else, the leaps and bounds by which Pixar has grown. It might even be my favorite trilogy (with LOTR coming in close second).
From the innovation, fast-moving entertainment, and broadly relevant themes of the first Toy Story movie, to the second film, we are presented with the product of how Pixar makes a commitment to quality at any cost. The emotional impact of the story in the third film was also deepened which mixes excellent entertainment with powerful and deeply moving ideas behind it in the same way that their recent films (Up, Wall-E, etc) have excelled at doing.
There are a lot of great films this year but Toy Story 3 is my favorite, so far. Also, if you are my friend and you decide not to watch it (and watch Karate Kid instead), I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
Help I’m Alive My Heart Is Beating Like a Hammer
It’s either I’m running out of things to say or I don’t really feel like talking/writing. So here are photos to mark the week. Oh, the title’s a Metric song, if you didn’t know that yet. If you don’t know Metric, that’s another story (and GTFO! :P).
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin
This band is awesome and they’ve released a couple of singles for their upcoming album, Let It Sway. Both songs are really good. I am excited.
Scott Pilgrim VS The World video game
The trailer was released several hours ago and it’s awesome! It’s in 8-bit-ish graphics with gameplay that has the potential to keep me up nights. I know that I’m not really a gamer but whatever. Im’a play this game ’til my fingers bleed. There’s a co-op mode too so I can play this with my boyfriend/friends!
The dude is my boyfriend. I took the photo one Sunday afternoon while we were heading to the mall to watch Prince of Persia. He made this for his deviantart ID or badge or whatever. As you can see, the boy got skillz.
Scott Pilgrim VS the World shirt design
