Review of The Incredibles

     It may be a little childish, but this movie is just to great to pass up. Every time I watch this movie, even as a teenager, I find myself full of childish joy every time. Mr, Incredible, the hero of this story, is a superhero in the traditional 1950's mold, dashing through town, defeating super-villains, and saving civilians. Alas, in a turn of unfortunate events, Mr.Incredible saves a man jumping from a building who's intent is to take his own life. Yet instead of being grateful, the man decides to sue Mr.Incredible for the inconvenience that he has caused him. After, the populace is not unanimously grateful, and he is faced with so many lawsuits for unlawful rescue and inadvertent side-effects he is forced to retire, along with many of the superhero community.   

                                         

     Under the governments superhero relocation program, Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) moves to the suburbs, joined by his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) and their children Violet(Sarah Vowell), Dash (Spencer Fox) and their little baby Jack Jack. Each of them posses a certain super power of their own, Violet can turn invisible and create force-fields (almost mimicking the Invisible Girl from The Fantastic Four). Dash is able to run at incredible speeds, Mr. Incredible has super-strength, and Elastigirl pretty much speaks for itself.

     Bob Parr hates the insurance business. Joining him in the suburb is another relocated super, Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) who can freeze stuff. Claiming they belong to a bowling league they sneak out on these nights to remember the good old days, by preventing low-profile crime. Until Mr.Incredible receives  a message from a mysterious woman named Mirage (Elizabeth Pena), who lures him to a Pacific island where where Mr. Incredible, very over weight and very out of shape, battles a robot named Omnidroid 7.  Spawning a whole new wave of super adventures.      

     I really love this movie, for all the laughs and fun it brings to the silver screen. It brings a whole new look on the superheros ways of life. I defiantly recommend watching this movie, whether you be young or old, you will love this movie.  

Review of V for Vendetta

In 2020 a virus runs rampeded though the world. Most of all Americans are dead and Britan is ruled by a fascist dictator, Adam Susan (John Hurt) who promises security but not freedom. One man, known only by the letter V, stands against Susan. Warring the famed Guy Fawkes mask, who back in 1605 tried to destroy the House of Parliament. Since then, on November the 5th the ev of Guy Fawkes day, British school children for centuries have started bonfires to burn Fawkes in effigy. On this eve in 2020, V saves a young TV reporter named Evey from being raped at the hands of the police. The.n takes her to the rooftops to witnes him destroying the Old Bailey.
                                                                                                        
                                                                     
The movie fallows V for the next 12 months until the day that he would vowed to strike a crushing blow against the dictatorship on November 5. We see a police state that hold citizens in an iron grip and yet is repeatedly humiliated by one man who seems impervious. The state tries to suppress knowledge of his deeds--to spin a possible explanation for the destruction of the Old Bailey, for example. But V hijacks the national television network to claim authorship of his deed.

I really love this movie because of the message it brings. And the way that it expresses it. 

Review of Howl's Moving Castle

 The first site we see in "Howl's Moving Castle" is the castle itself, which looks as if it were hammered together in a shop class by wizards inspired by the lumbering , elephantine war machines in the "Empire Strikes Back" the castle is an amazing visual invention, a vast collection of turrets and annexes, protrusions and after thoughts, which makes its way across the landscape, like a lumbering, metal turtle.

Story opens with Sophie (voiced by Emily Mortimer)  sitting on the workbench, patiently sewing hats while a smoke belching train roars passed her window. When she ventures out, she is attacked by soldiers, but is saved by Howl (voiced by Christan Bale) who is also being chased by black creatures, of no shape or form. This interaction brings Sophie's existence to the attention of Howl's enemy, the Witch of the Wast, who fancys Howl for herself. And in a fit of jealous rage, the witch turns Sophie into a wrinkled old woman, now voiced by Jean Simmons. Leaving the house in shame and confusion, Sophie takes to the hills. After meeting and freeing a scarecrow, he takes Sophie to Howl's castle.  Howl is the real thing, a shape-shifter who sometimes becomes a winged bird of prey. So is his key assistant Calcifer (Billy Crystal), a fire demon who's job is to supply the castle's energy. Sophie also meets Howl's apprentice, Markl (Josh Hutcherson), and sets about appointing herself the castle's housekeeper and maid of all work.
                   
The plot deepens as Howl is summoned to serve both of the warring kingdoms. And Sophie try's to regain her youth.

 This would not be a standout film to see if you're looking for a great film to enjoy on the weekends or something like that. This is definitely it would be film if you are a strong Miyazaki fan. Miyazaki nevertheless is a  Master who, frame by frame creates animated  compositions of wonderment.
