Well here I am back for another action packed installment of the award winning...wait I haven't received an award, regardless here goes the review.
Thursday I took my family to the newest adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book. I have to say that this is my favorite, not only as a book but the movie is great!!! Horton hears a Who is brought to us by the same creative team that brought us Ice Age and the animation that they are putting out there is just getting better with time. Right up there with Pixar! The cast is filled to the brim with new and seasoned comedic actors. Lets start with the title role of Horton. Horton is played by non-other than Jim Carrey. Carrey attacks this role as he does most roles...with a surgeons precision , the guy really does a great job and over the years we've seen him go through several different types of roles from slapstick characters like Ace Ventura to the craziness of a murderer in the Number 23. As Horton the faithful elephant Carrey is a sincere and lovable elephant that is determined to save the "speck" no matter what it takes be cause he promised to get them to safety.Carrey delivers the laughs at constant pace I couldn't stop laughing and really heartfelt too. Steve Carell WHO plays the Mayor of Whoville (hahahhaha I crack myself up) does so very well, and really brings the character off the page and onto the screen. Carell's Mayor is well meaning and kind. he wants his son to take his place as mayor and become one of the many great mayors in their family. With a wide array of characters and a truly wonderful moral core this is on of those films that is great for everyone. Playing at the Regal 4 out of 5 stars
Next Saturday I went to a movie I was kind of on the fence about The Ruins. Going into this one I wasn't sure what to think. but I went anyway, and I wasn't disappointed...with the film. Some numb skull with a cellphone was texting through the whole movie and I have to say this people it was very distracting. I really don't get it, first off it's extremely rude to everyone behind you ( and this charming fellow was right up front) secondly you are an idiot for paying money to type on a stupid cell phone. What a waste. back to the movie at hand. The Ruins is the story of two couples on vacation in Mexico that end up going with two guys to these Mayan ruins. well as it happens the locals will not let them leave the ruin and force them to run up to the top after killing one of them. Trapped and scared of the villagers below they decide to wait it out because someone will come and rescue them.They find out that the villager's are the least of their worries....on that note I stop I want you to get out there and check it out for yourself. I give it a big 4 out of 5 stars The Ruins is playing at the Regal and bring a friend to squeeze their arm!
