Celluloid Film Review - Alvin And The Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked - Movie Review


Title: Alvin And The Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked
Year Of Release: 2012
Review Date: April 28, 2012
Rating: G
Running time: 87 minutes
Box Office Gross: $338,576,745
Site Rating: 4 out of 10 stars

"Alvin And The Chipmunks 3 - Chipwrecked" is the third installment in the reboot of the franchise. As usual, annoying Alvin gets on everyone's nerves, but this time around his antics get them shipwrecked on a deserted island (save for one madwoman) with no food or water. It's amazing that one little cartoon character can get into so much trouble. 


The Chipettes are also present in this film, as with the second installment and this time around, are somewhat ghetto. They nearly beatdown a trio of women for daring to usher them off the dance floor...

Celluloid Film Review: The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Title: The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Year Of Release: 2009

Review Date: September 30, 2011

Rating: PG

Running time: 87 minutes

Box Office Gross: $46,471,023

Site Rating: 1 out of 10 stars

"The Fantastic Mr. Fox" starring George Clooney, is possibly one of the most boring animated films I have ever seen. I couldn't wait for it to finish. "Mr. Fox" is the story of a thieving fox that steals food from farmers (right up Hollywood's alley). When the farmers figure out what is transpiring and try to kill Fox and his cohorts, they flee underground. Much more could have been done with this film that was adapted from a children's novel, as the movie was dull and the animation chintzy.

Movie Review - Ice Age 3

Title: Ice Age 3

Year Of Release: 2009

Review Date: June 30, 2011

Rating: G

Running time: 94 minutes

Box Office Gross: $886,686,817

Site Rating: 3 out of 10 stars

"Ice Age 3" is the animated film about a couple of elephants preparing for the birth of their newborn that is on the way. Other animals in their pride help as well. However, Sid, a sniveling, trouble prone animal in the pride, who is a friend of elephants, gets broody and decides to steal the eggs of another, wanting to be a parent as well (he must be related to Madonna snatching people’s kids like that).

Little does Sid know, he stole dinosaur eggs and the mother, a Tyrannosaurus, was coming after him with a vengeance. Sid brings terrible trouble on the entire herd with his act of theft in disturbing the Tyrannosaurus and her set. "Ice Age 3" was an engaging film that many kids found entertaining. In short, if you have kids, this movie will keep them relatively quiet for 94 minutes.

Movie Review - Yogi Bear

Title: Yogi Bear

Year Of Release: 2010

Review Date: June 30, 2011

Rating: G

Running time: 80 minutes

Box Office Gross: $201,584,141

Site Rating: 3 out of 10 stars

"Yogi Bear" is the animated film about the bear of the same name. Yogi Bear and his docile sidekick, Boo Boo, work to defeat a derivative plot, by a corrupt politician to cut down all the trees in JellyStone national park, a take off of Yellow Stone.

This kids cartoon has a few uncomfortable moments due to somewhat adult jokes. For example, there is a scene in the film where Yogi begins dancing provocatively to the song "Baby Got Back" by rapper Sir Mix Alot.

Then there's, Ranger Jones, who had a little sugar in his tank and staring at the head male ranger a little too hard, while he goes after the leading lady.

Yogi's dating advice was not the brightest (then again, neither is Yogi). He told Ranger Smith to "urinate on" the woman he has a crush on to mark his territory. At that point I thought to myself, who wrote this, R. Kelly.

Obama Mocked In Tea Party Train Animation Video

U.S. President Barack Obama, has been mocked in a Taiwanese news animation, as being overconfident and about to be run over by the Tea Party train, led by Sarah Palin. The animation video lampoons several U.S. political figures, in a development that reveals, people all over the world are aware of the Tea Party movement.

The video ends with Obama laughing on a train track at the pending political threat, then as the train gets closer, making a run for it in alarm at the possibility of being run over. Seriously, check the video - Obama is hauling butt on that train track.
