2009: The Year of Death, 3D and Animation

Death, 3D and Animation took over this year, as we saw film profits make over 10 and a half billion dollars. That gross comes courtesy of 3D preniums, perhaps stating that 3D is here to stay.

Death played a big part as well, from Farrah Fawcett to Michael Jackson, the stars that died were tremendous and left their marks on the world forever. I can honestl say that with Michael Jackson, he proves you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Animation really became the star of the year though. When we saw preety bad live-action films (et tu Couples Retreat and Gentleman Bronco's), animation gave us mature and thoughtful fare like Fantastic Mr. Fox & Up. Even usual kiddie fare made us laugh harder like Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Toss all of that in with The Princess and The Frog & Coraline and you have one heckuva impressive lineup.

Live-Action got some great stuff, notable the Star Wars of our time that is Avatar. Brilliance like Where The Wild Things Are also played. Stupid comedies were anjoyable as well like Land of The Lost and Paul Blart.

2009 can be summed up as a landmark year for all of us, changing cinema for good and doing away with the old...and in with the new.

Editorial: Best of The Decade Part II: The Movies

This article isn't impact this time. No, this is QUALITY!!! Except for No. 8 and No. 4, which are for influence.

10. The Lord of The Rings Trilogy- Why not higher? Folks these are great films but their lengths keep them from being brilliance. Truthfully, I have just a few weeks ago caught the end of the Third One on TV! Still, there's no denying they ARE great and certainly one of the most memorable parts of the decade.



9. Shrek- Potshots at Disney? WHY??? Because it's funny, that's why.

8. The Departed- Martin Scorsese has made many-a classics (Shutter Island probably will end up being one of those). The Departed is this decades GoodFella's. Riveting from beginning to end, the film never lets you or your mind go once it begins is what audiences around the world ave agreed, becoming the rare film that brings us together.

7. Finding Nemo- Searching for lost sons used to be sad and starring Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson. Now they star clownfish and are among the funniest movies of all-time.

6. Good Night, And Good Luck- Probably the surprise inclusion here. Why this film? Because George Clooney gives the best performance of his career here. With it's grand story and wonderful acting, this film settles it's place as among the greatest in history.

5. WALL-E- PIXAR ain't made a dud yet and WALL-E is no exception. With no talking for 20 minutes, it abandons all cinematic formula's for family films since they began. And boy does it abandon them well.



4. Brokeback Mountain- You remember how we treated gay movies before this came out? No? That's how great this thing was.

3. Ratatouille- Brad Bird makes sure that aniamtion is not a genre but a form of creation like 3D and Digital Shooting. The tale of a rat in Paris captivates you and makes you wonder: Is animation kiddie stuff or just for anyone?

2. Up- PIXAR has really pulled it out of the hat this time. Carl F. has a tale unlike anyone else has ever done. Add in a funny dog and boy, guaranteed tear-jerker opening and wonderful climax you have a film for the decade.

1. Avatar- Just read my review on New Years. Then you'll see.



Runner Ups- Million Dollar Baby, The Incredibles, Milk, No Country For Old Men, Gladiator, Letters From Iwo Jima

Ghostbusters will return in 2011 it seems. Word has gotten out that it'll shoot in Summer 2010. 2011 sure will be crowded that Summer. Hope everything's a hit.

Significant Thrills & Puppets

The National Film Registry has put another 25 films into their significant vault. One of them is The Muppet Movie. The other is Thriller, Michael Jackson's music video. I find that a bit unfair, since it's not a movie but a music video. Still, I guess it's a tribute that those guys bended the rules for MJ.

Rapunzel Let Down Thy Image

It seems France has gotten the first image from Rapunzel (above). The film really looks good and the story looks promising. I shall be excited to see if Rapunzel can be another hit to Disney's legacy.

SYS

Despicable Poster

Despicable Me is an interesting looking film coming out in 2010. If we're going by the 3 trailers that have been released, the film seems to be like Tex Avery and Chuck Jones cartoons. Above in the poster are the main characters little henchman, cute characters. I can't wait to see what happens in this film.

Could Cars Get Any Greater?

Mater The Greater is a nice shoirt film from PIXAr but it just amped the nate for the Cars diecast line. These photos have come in thanks to Takefiveaday and should show up in stores by January. Excitement!!

Now of course we need tons of Lightnings with teeth and rockets.

Blu-Ray Review: 9

9 is an intriguing concept and one you'd have to be crazy not to love it and still be an animation fan. The end result isn't QUITE as good as you may think but still a nice 'un.

9 is a ragdoll, one of 9 of his kind. It turns out humans have been killed by large machines and the ragdolls must carry on humanity.

9 has many action pieces, most of which are intense and would make many blockbuster film makers really stand in awe. The animation is brilliant and shines in Hi-Def. The only problem is the ending that fells a little too much. Spirits come out of devices and feels just a bit like they wanted to pull the heartstrings too much.

That behind, the film is awesome. It's one great film an I see a future for Shane Acker.

Editorial: Best of The Decade: Part I The TV Shows

There's no particular order to the list, just in any order you please. So, here for your viewing pleasure, is the 10 shows that shaped us as a whole this decade.

Glee: Where else could singing high Schoolers roam? Plus, it made it okay to laugh and actually dance to a TV show again.



Dexter: Violence. Sounds bad? Dexter made it cool to wtach an assassin kill people. And you can't help but chuckle when you think that a man can be a father and still be a grand murderer.

Survivor: Classic. Never in a billion trillion years. But half (maybe even 75%) of the shows on TV wouldn't even exsist without this reality sensation that paved the way for American Idol and Jon and Kate.

The Shield: Wow. Michael Chiklis played the ultimate cop and shaped Cable forever. He may have been a cop, but breaking laws still weren't below him...or even being worse than the criminal.

24: Kiefer Sutherland IS Jack Bauer. And he IS the best action star on TV. With so many iconic things (the split screens!), it's hard to know when to stop praising the ultimate action show on TV.



Breaking Bad: This hillarious and dark show is quite a powerhoue both ratings and cticaly wise. It's the ultimate show for anyone who likes drama and tension.

Lost: This show (which will end in May) is nerdvana, combining WHAT WAS THAT with mystery. J.J Abrahms has shifted TV not only with fringe, but with Lost.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Scoff if you must, but this show is no kiddie fare. On the contrary, it's as riviting as Lost with it's dark and powerful stories. It's a treat to see someone besides Hayo Myaski and PIXAR using animation to it's full potential.

American Idol: The reaility hit is one heckuva show, putting great talent and people behind great music. Plus, we met Adam Lambert. Now that's love at first sight!

The Sorprano's: How could we even mention the 200's without mentioning this gem? The Godfather of television, you really know the characters as if they are your own. Though the climx was...climatic, the show still rests as one of the greatest ever, something for generations to come to behold and awe.

Captain America will Shoot Soon

This Summer will see the beginning of Marvel's first superhero: Captain America. The film will start shooting in June, so expect cast news by February. I shall be excited to see it's progress.

Film Review: Sherlock Holmes

Holmes? An action man? Has the world gone mad? Maybe it has, but this is still a wonderful film, one of the years best. Personally, the film easily becomes the most potential franchise maker alongside Star Trek.

Holmes (Robert Downy Jr.) is a detective that can't stop thinking. That helps him in his work, but not when meeting Watson's fiancee'. Despite that, he still feels wonderful..until Lord Blackwood seems to rise from the grave!! Now the fate of 1893 London is in the balance.

The great thing about the film is it's easily distinguishable amongst it's brethern of shoot-em ups. Why? Because Holmes is fascinating, pure and simple. Like Jake Sully from Avatar, he dosen't have much brawn. But man does he have a brain. In a wonderful idea, Holmes thinks about his fighting before he does it. He wonders how long it'll take his opponent to react from a punch or to even twist his head to see. It's wonderful to watch and makes it quite a highlight not just of the film but from 2009 altogether.

Robert Downy Jr. is charasimatic and gets to hsine as Holmes. You get the feeling he IS Sherlock and those other puny adaptations didn't do the doctor justice. Robert gives a performance that is commendable, his best yet. In fact, I see a Best Actor Nom. coming his way in the Oscar season.

Jude Law is alright as Watson, though it must be admitted Robert overshadows him and everyone in the film. Still, these days, when Daniel Radcliffe is lifeliss in Harry Potter 6, the fact that acting overshadows the action (almost), well, then that's the greatest compliment of all.

Avatar Drops Miraculously, Holmes With Bells On, Chipmunks a Powerhouse, Complications? Nah, The Blind Side Continues, Nine Zero, Up In The Air Flies

Avatar led the biggest weekend of all-time, making 75 million. It only dropped 3.6% and could become the biggest second weekend of all-time when all the money is counted tomorrow. Avatar has also become the biggest IMAX film ever and could surpass Transformers 2 by the end of the year.

Sherlock Holmes had the second biggest debut at the 2nd spot this weekend making 65 million. The film will likely make 230 million and become a new franchise for Warner Bros.

Up in The air made 11.7 million and made 11,000 per theatre. The film has made 24.5 million and could become a huge OScar contender soon.

The Chipmunks Sequel became the first film at number 3 to make 50 million. This sequel could be a rare film to surpass it's predeccesor at the box office.

Nine was a bomb, making only 5 million. Unlike Invictus, reception has been tepid so Oscar noms are unlikely.

The Blind Side went up 17% and will make 210 million total. Sandra Bullock's year continues fabuosly.



The Princess and The Frog has made 63.3 million and dropped 28.4% this weekend. A 100million gross may not happen after all.

The weekend was overall stupendous, shattering records and capping of the greatest year in film history.

I Pity The Fool Who Isn't in The A-Team

The A-Team remake is almost done filming. A question on everyone's mind though, is will Mr. T be part of it. THe answer is No. Why? Because he felt a cameo wasn't needed, like William Shatner in Star Trek.

Quite interesting.

Blu-Ray Review: It's A Wonderful Life

Christmas may bring happiness to many, but for some it's a madhouse. One man in particular affected by that is George Bailey. He's lost a lot of money and more trouble is an inevitability. However, an angels named Clarence changes all that, leading to the greatest Christmas film ever.

Jimmy Stewart is one of those talents you can't find much else and wish we had someone equivalent to him today. He's brilliant here and has a rela transformation throughout. Clarenece is unforgettable and really shines, god bless Henry Travers who is stupendous.

Theis film is one that changes cinema and the holiday CHirstmas in itself. Not only with th greatest Christmas story ever, but because of it's characters and emotion. It's one that can't be missed.

Avatar Box Office Part III: Tuesday Is A Lucky Day

Avatar continues to be successful. But yesterday was amazing. Here are the three things it accomplished:

*Helped propel 2009 to over 10 billion dollars, making it the biggest year ever and the first time we have ever hit 10 billion dollars in a year.

*Hit 100 million in 5 days. It's total gross is standing at 109 million, on par with Star Wars: Episode I which went on to make 431 million.

*Biggest of all, this was the 2nd biggest Non-Holiday Tuesday ever. Even counting holidays, it's still the 3rd biggest Tuesday ever.

Wow. Avatar really is a success. Can't wait to see it in IMAX 3D this weeekend.

Bone Movie Puttering Along

I love the graphic novel Bone. It's funny, yet so epic! And it seems a certain great producer ha it right by descriibng it as: "Shrek meets Lord of the Rings". It seems Bone will become a 2011/2012 film and the director should be announced by Spring. I had been applying for the direction and even had wrote a script for it...but hey! Sounds like htey might have something.

Jus ta suggestion: Get Nathan Lane to voice Phoney Bone. He'd be terrific.

SYS

DVD Review: Deck The Halls

Critics can be stupid. I mean, they hate all kinds of films that are actually a ton of fun (i.e. Lnd of the Lost). This film is a prime example of that. A stupid film that's a lot of fun.

Steve Finch (Mathew Broderick) is the Christmas guy around town, but Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito) has moved in and decides to be seen from space. How? By hanging up more ligths than anyone, thus ruining Steve's Christmas guy crown. Wow!

Danny is always fun to watch and here is no exception. He has a nice touch around him that makes him likeable yet an enemy. Mathew Borderick is great as Steve, brings a sensibility to the character. There's also a ton of good gags abounding in this film that really are fun to watch. The film as a whole ain't a classic, but it is a blast anyway.

DVD Reivew: The Santa Clause 3-Pack

Wow. Tim Allen has no carrer right now and these films he kept going back to milk can be blamed for it. Tim was great in the first one, Ok in the second and downright abysmal in the third one. Like a ball rolling down a hill, the trilogy gets worse and worse as time goes by.

Santa Clause: The ifrst one, where a man kills Santa and must fill in for the legend. This film, along with Elf and A Christmas Story, remain among the funniest in the history of X-Mas films nad Tim actually odes well here. It makes you very sad that they milked the film afterward.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10 or A-

Santa Clause 2: Santa is fully with his job now, but he has to get a wife!! OH NO! To take his place, a toy Santa is made. But he has other plans for the North Pole...

This one is alright, but kind of pointless. Too many potty jokes ruin it...though there are some nice gags and touching moments.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10 or C+

Snata Clause 3: Santa and his wife are having a Snata Jr. soon but Jack Frost (Martin Short) dosen't helpt things by taking over Christmas.

Not even Martin Short can take this crudpile out of the sewer. This is one of the worst films of 2006 and a bad film period. Tim Allen can't act no more and there's no good gags whatsoever. What a waste of Alan Arkin.

Avatar Box Office Part II: Weekend Jump

Avatar didn't make 73 million this weekend. It made 77.3 million, thus putting it as the biggest December opening of allt-ime and beating Finding Nemo and The Incredibles as the biggest original films of all-time. The IMAX? Huge. Bigger than The Dark Knight.

Overall, Avatar has a nice future ahead. Plus, with Clash of the Titans recently being said to perhaps having a 3D release, well...3D may not be a fad after all.

Blu-Ray Review: The Polar Express 3D

The Polar Express is the scariest film I have ever seen. The characters delve into the Uncanny Valley so much, you wonder why Mo-Cap is even being used. Thankfully, Avatar and A Christmas Carol have improved the technology vastly, but this film remains a sore spot for all fans of animation.

In this film, a young boy learns to believe again, thanks to a magic train that takes him and other children to the North Pole.

This film really has too much padding in it to relaly be called a full motion picture and probably works better on TV where it should be. Tom Hanks is a great man, but he's stiff in his film despite haveing 5 roles. The whole film feels like it's some wasted oppurtunity of both acting and visuals. This film could've been the pinnacle of Christmas films like Miracle on 34th Street...instead it's as flat as a stale Christmas cookie.

Much Ado About Marvin Myers

Mike Myers could voice Marvin The Martian in the 2010 pic Marvin The Martian. It'll be live-action/CGI like those other film I derided in an editorial I wrote not too long ago.

Avatar Reigns Supreme...Princess Is Sliced in Half...BLind Side Beats Proposal...Up In The Air Up...No One Heard About The Morgans

Avaatr was the champion of the weeken, making 73 million. Thanks to it opening all around the world this weekend, it had now a gross of 232 million worldwide. The giant take will likely mean a 900 million total worldiwde and over 300 million here.

Avatar has garnered an A+ from moviegoers on average and the word could spread on the new masterpiece. Expect a ton more money to go towards the epic by the time Winter is over.

The Princess and The Forg dropped 49.8%. It has now made 44.7 million and will liekly make a total of 100 million, perhaps proving 2D could be dead after all.

The only other new release, Did You Hear About The Morgans flopped, only making 7 million. That film may make only 20 million when all the hoidays are over.

The Blind Side dropped a mere 33%. It's total now stands at 164.7 million, beating The Proposal to become Sandra Bullock's biggest film ever (co-incidentally, Entertainment Weekly has dubbed her entertainer of 2009). The BLind Side may make 200million by the end of it's run.



Up In the Air increased it's theatre count to 175 and made 3 million. Epxect it to be huge next weekend when it enters 1800 theatres.

A Christmas Carol dropped 50% to 130 million. A nice total of 150 million should come soon.

Invictus had made 15.8 million now. Some Oscar buzz and increasing theatres next weekend should bring it to another hit for clint Eastwood.

The weekend made overall 125 million, up from 2008, but down from 2007.

Avatar Box Office Part I: Friday...A Grand Start

Avatar debuted to a stunning 27 million yesterday, with 3 million of that coming from midnight screenings. It could have an oepning similar to Star Treks 78 million oepning.

Editorial: The Princess And The Dying Animaion Art

Why is it that all different movies bomb? The Princess and The Frog just flopped out of the gate and that leaves Disney animation flopping like a fish out of water. Why? Well, as I said in my review, Michael Eisnier killed off 2D, so it's been gone for 5 1/2 years, leaving CGI king of animation. Plus, all this decade evryone (including Disney themselves) took potshots at the Disney legacy. Now we have the latest in a line of gems. And it's a flop.

The thing that amazes me is that Disney Animation has been doing nothing but right. Come to think of it, Dinsey Animation right now reminds me of Ameirca. An evil guy who was very greedy has left office (George Bush = Michale Eisnier) and a birght young leader (Obama = John Lasster) who has had an imppresive track record (Mayoral Elcections = PIXAR) in trying to pick up a sinking ship (America Economy = CGI Films). Everyone is against him, yet he's still done magnificient things (Economy Up = Bolt & Prep and Landing).



Now that leader is stuck with tought decisions. Should he stay where he is or change (30,000 troops = 2D layoffs). Those last decisions mad him more un-popular than ever. So my point, out of all of this, is this: 2D is dying and we can't deny it. Even I can't. Unless, The Frog has spectacular legs. The n2D could be saved. But Lassetter has his work cut out for him if the Frog leaves when those dang Chipmunks eneter. I don't envy him.

In conclusion, keep Disney alive. How? Go se e The Princess and The Frog. Not only is it a masterpiece, you'll save a comapny in need of osme help.

DVD Reivew: Muppets Christmas Carol

The Muppets have made 6 movies (and a 7th coming in 2010) and this one is the best of them all. Not only is it funny, but it's poignant, becoming one of the best stories of Scrooge & The Ghosts.

The character choices here are quite nicely. Kermit's Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy is his wife and Gonzo is Charles Dickens (Rizzo is with him and brilliantly notes he's "Here for The Food"!) A nice touch is that Fezziewigs has become Fozziwigs! Cute.

Michael Cane really sells old Scrooge here. He has great acting and shines throughout. I felt that he (along with Jim Carrey among others) has one of the best portrayals of Scrooge.

The Muppets have done it again and bring forth one of the best adaptations of A Christmas Carol ever. Funny & sweet, this is one Christmas classic not to be missed.
