Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

Summary: 

A 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.

Bu's review:

Lorax talks about very realistic issues in our society, although it is a children's film/book it represents today's environmental  problems and politics. It is an entertaining movie and I really liked the graphics and dialogue (funny at times).

The colors and the happiness at some point in the movie makes you think about important and relevant questions. I don't think children think about this but the musicality in this movie sure helped it to be a bit more appealing. Of course they have to stick with the book but I honestly thought that the character of Lorax is representative but not the key character. 

Animation movies are starting to show less childish environment and are actually becoming appropriate for parents and adults interested on how to explain their kids certain situations on the real world. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax has that but it also includes laughter and sentiment, it teaches you a good lesson through the greatest way there is, CINEMA!

But is still yet to come the movie that will make justice to the world of 3D...

The Smurfs

If this animation doesn't win a prize (oscar or golden globe) I don't know which will. I haven't seen the upcoming animation movies, but for certain that this one will be on the oscars best animated movie nominees' list. It's so freaking cool. I got to admit I just wanted to hug those little blue creatures when Neil Patrick Harris was chasing them around his living room it was so fun. I think the surfs being to everyone's childhood and this movie will certain live it's marks on the kids who saw it :P
I really liked to see, Chief Wiggum / Moe Szyslak / Apu/ etc, or has most people call him Hank Azaria in the movie, of course he did the antagonist Gargamel but he amused me with his funny faces and voice.

COWBOYS & ALIENS


So, of course Jon Favreau is one of my favorite directors but I've never imagined that this movie would turn out like this. We all get sad when the man doesn't get the woman and this time wasn't different, until we find out that the woman is an Alien that the man was a cowboy kidnapped by aliens who escaped and doesn't remember a thing. This is probably hard to understand, but if you don't like complications don't see this movie. I love the complexity of it and the way it was made. The western and sic-fy were really well combined and the actors only made it better. We have a former explorer, a sweet doctor and 007, what else could you expect?
It wasn't long at all and that is something I noticed. A good summer movie!

RISE of the PLANET of the APES


Very touching. If you are a person who loves animals and gets emotional very easily you will absolutely cry in this movie! This is one of the cases where the trailer is not faithful to the movie. This motion picture shows how mean human kind is with the animals and specially with apes. We try to use them for experiences because they look like us the thing we don't remember is that if they could talk they would be exactly US.
This movie shows the story of a chimp whose mother dies because of a stupid experience for a cure to Alzheimer's. The doctor that preformed that experience "adopts" the little chimp and notices that the mother, who has improved her intelligence, passed it to had son. When the ape grows he becomes attached so much to his dad that he does anything to protect him including byte someone's finger of. The monkey is "arrested" and goes to a place where they don't respect his kind so being smarter than the others helps them and they all run free. In the end we see the power of the word how the fact that we talk makes us powerful. When the chimp yells "No!" makes everyone in the room curious and it's a very powerful moment. Being Rupert Wyatt second movie is very surprising and I hope to see this director involved in future successful movies. James Franco... Good job!

Super 8

So I know I haven't write anything this month but I'm on my vacatios and I'm sorry movie lovers but I need a rest from typing too ;) So right now I'm writing this review on my iPad and watching a beatiful sunset while riding along Florida! (Don't worry it's not ME riding)
So I have thought about this movie many times because I have so many things to say about it and for me it is one of the best movies of the year, but I also think not everything was quite right though.
So Super 8 was one of JJ Abrams most amazing works I say this because I really like him and the fact that he wrote Super 8 and directed it and even got Steven Spielberg to be his producer is HUGE!
I love dramas they are my favourite movie type but this movie is all about fantasy, science fiction and action you say? Well I say it has drama and for me is what makes this movie SO good! I loved the fact that behind all that mess and trouble about this Alien the movie tells the story of a kid who just reacently lost his mother and his realshionship With is dad isn't that great, he can find confort amoung is friends and their project of making a movie. He falls in love with the girl whose dad "killed" (not directly) his mother. This is the part that makes this my favorite movie of the year I LOVE this story I think the alien was just to make it shine a little more but (here comes the critic) if JJ had only included the train crash, and the alien part was turned into something like a dangerous Radiation that caused all those dogs to run, that would make a perfect film for me! But that is what makes it different and that is the perfect word to describe this movie, a story with love, action and different in it's own way!

Pirates of caribbean: On stranger tides ヅ

When I see Johnny Deep, I think "I gotta see this movie" (right girls??). So I couldn't miss "Pirates of caribbean: On stranger tides", specially because it's JACK SPARROW, the amazingly fun Jack Sparrow. So I was with high expectations when I was entering the room to see it.
Well, I didn't think it was the best movie of this saga, but I was certainly the funniest. I liked all the jokes and mermaids, but of corse compared to the others this one was smaller and less "special effect".
I liked it, but some people say it was was worse than "Fast Five". What do you think?

Winx The Movie

I went to see Winx with my cousin, really cool movie but quick though. The story was kind of big so the scenes had to be short what made the movie go fast!
But I liked to remember the old times when I was 9 and I liked to pretend I was a fairy like Bloom (my favorite character)! I spend a great time!

Gnomeo and Juliet XD

Ok, so I went to see Gnomeo and Juliet with my two little cousins! It was a nice movie the problem was the jokes during the movie were to... grown up! If you do a movie for kids you want kids to like it and understand. Anyway, another thing is that 3D movies have nothing on 3D, expect when that little gnome throws a parchment at us (funny part :D), why don't directors try something more interactive??
I really liked the soundtrack though, Elton John musics were inspiring and appropriated, though not good for kids to understand but I liked that part! And let's say it was a very romantic movie!

The Adjustment Boreau

Matt Damon in the lead role of a movie of course it's a good movie. But, not as good as Leo DiCaprio well finally we can compare this to amazing actors because a new type of movie just arrived. We have Comedy, Thriller, Action but after Inception we have a new kind of movie IMAGINATION!
So Adjustment Boreau IS the new Inception, great movie and the special effects are not to much what makes it PERFECT!
Emily Blunt did a good job different from what I expected. Matt Damon was the one who could have given more to the character, he is used to all that drama and oscars nominations maybe this part was too much for him. But I liked all the NY scenario and I think it was the perfect city to film a story like this.
I say a new generation of films are coming up and I hope to see many "INCEPTIONS" in the future.
