FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992)

20130130:
I must have seen bits and pieces of this movie before, and it is possible I have seen the entire film as a kid. But after watching the movie today, I could not recall having seen the entire movie prior to today.


In any case, the plot of this movie was similar to the plots of Dances with Wolves (1990), Pocahontas (1995), and Avatar (2009). In fact, the plots of Avatar and FernGully are so similar that some people would say Avatar is a rip-off of FernGully, subject to their definition of a rip-off. While in most respects of the word Avatar is probably not a rip-off FernGully, if it was, then it did a great job of turning the plot of a below-average animation into a spectacular blockbuster (and at great expense).


Overall, the animation quality of FernGully was below the average animation quality of Disney films and the story was too simple for me, albeit good for children. Meanwhile, I liked the character Batty, voiced by Robin Williams, and the humor which he brought to the movie. In the end, if you have kids, then watch it with them. If you don't have kids, then your time is probably better spent watching Avatar (2009) (for essentially the same story, but with more details and outstanding visuals).

Rango (2011)

20130129:
I absolutely love the visuals in this movie. In fact, even as I was trying to think of other good things to say about the movie, I kept thinking about its visuals. I wish I had had the opportunity to see this movie in theaters.

Rango (Johnny Depp) tries to blend in.
(Technically the character isn't named Rango at this point in the movie.)

After watching the movie, I saw a short clip on how the actors would act out the parts and their expressions and movements would be recorded as a realistic reference for the animators. Maybe that's part of the reason why the movie is visually pleasing. Of course, there was more visual detail than just the character expressions. For example, I also enjoyed the scenery and water animation.

Actually, Rango had some pretty good jokes spread throughout the movie as well. While they didn't have me bursting out loud, they definitely fit the fun mood of the film.

Overall, I'd highly recommend watching this movie if you're hankering for a modern Spaghetti western with a touch of humor to lighten the mood.


Note: Rango won the Oscar award for best animated film of the year in 2012; it did not, however, have much competition.

Oh shit. He breaks the bottle of vintage floodwater.
Random shit at the 55 minute mark. "Who needs a check-up?" "Awkward."

The main dilemma of the movie is a parody of the dilemma of another movie: Chinatown (1974).

Spirit of the West is based on Clint Eastwood's character Blondie in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966).
Ha. He eats the insect passing by.
Of the voice actors, I'm only familiar with Johnny Depp and Abigail Breslin. However, I recognized neither of their voices in the film.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

20130127:
Yay! I'm glad I managed to catch this film available on Netflix. It was the last of the six feature films based on the original Star Trek cast I had yet to see.

Kirk and Spock.

It was great getting to watch this film, because I got to see a plot detail incorporated in Star Trek (2009).

I'm also glad, because the movie directly leads into the next film, Star Trek III (1984). I suddenly think to myself, "Oh! That's how they got to this part of the plot." I've gotten that same feeling when I watched Star Wars Episode III (2005) after Star Wars (1977) (Episode IV) and when I watched the first and second seasons of Lost after the third and fourth seasons.

Title.


Instant Comments:
Warning! Comments may contain spoilers to other movies.
Ha. Good intro. Kobayashi Maru. It's also mentioned in Star Trek (2009).
At the 1 hour 16 minute mark, we learn that the plot in Star Trek (2009) ties into the details laid out in this movie.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." "Or the one."

Khan.

Near the end of the movie, around the 1 hour 36 minute mark, I understand why Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) starts the way it does.
"It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before. A far better resting place that I go to than I have ever known."
: Apparently this comes from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. It originally reads, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."
:: Apparently I wasn't paying complete attention and Spock gave the book to Kirk as a birthday gift.

Uhuru, Bones, and Sulu.

We see Spock's casket at the 1 hour 45 minute mark.

Funny Face (1957)

This is one of the musicals my sister and I watched over and over again when we were kids. In fact, the musicals on VHS are one of the reasons we need to keep a VHS player around the house. From what I can recall, all the other musicals we frequently watched while growing up were The Sound of Music (1965), Mary Poppins (1964), Singin' in the Rain (1952), An American in Paris (1951), and Funny Face.

[20130126][20181213 Edit]


Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn)

20130126:
Prior to watching the movie, I could only remember the image of Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn talking at a bookshelf. Thus, despite having seen the movie several times when I was younger, I felt as if I was watching the movie for the first time.

When Audrey Hepburn first appeared in the bookstore, I couldn't help but look in awe at her beautiful face. And while she later gets dressed up and looks absolutely gorgeous, she already looked great in her bookstore outfit!

In any case, it was fun to see the protagonist, Jo (Audrey Hepburn), transition naturally from working in a bookstore to becoming a model for this fashion company.

Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson) (in red) and Jo (carrying books)

I also liked seeing more and more of the good nature of the company president, Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson), as the movie progressed. When we first meet the character, she's portrayed as intrusive and her strict concern is with business. But later we get to see Maggie sing and dance and she went from a character I despised to one which I didn't.

I would highly recommend this movie if you're looking to watch a short-and-fun romantic movie. Alternatively, you should watch this movie if you like musicals or love watching movies with Audrey Hepburn. Speaking of Audrey Hepburn, she does her own singing and dancing in this film!

Hmm, Audrey Hepburn's character and the old woman's character were practically enemies, but then they seemed so friendly after setting foot in Paris.
Ha! The woman is yelling at the man, he slaps her, and then she's happy.
Haha. Creeper. He makes it so romantic. Climb up a ladder and serenade your love interest at her balcony. Note to self: have a dance prepared for such occasions. of course, where would I get music to play in the background.
I wonder how many takes it took to shoot the umbrella int to the trashcan.

"There are tears in her eyes."

Bridesmaids (2011)

20130125:
So I remember when this film came out in theaters, my friend Josh kept suggesting I watch it, but I insisted I didn't want to watch a comedy in theater. Then I think he got it on blu-ray, but for some reason I still didn't watch it. I might have had interest, but there are always so many movies lined up. If he reads this post, he can correct me on the situation if he remembers. In any case, it was the movie of choice for the night and I was cracking up throughout the majority of the movie.

Great laughs. If you're looking for a good comedy, check this movie out. As a side note, the movie reminded me of The Hangover (2009), except with woman. Yes, if you enjoyed The Hangover, you should definitely check this movie out.

Spoiler: I think Helen and Annie have reconciled at the end of the film.

Aww. How sad to see her on the bus. That Helen is a bitch.
The outburst at the shower is great. I love it. I feel like I had anger built up in sympathy for Annie, and then her outburst just releases that for me as much as it does for her.
The actress (Kristen Wig) reminds me of Meg Ryan and Amy Adams.
I realize when the character Meg is harassing Annie ("I'm life" and so forth) that Meg was the cook from Gilmore Girls. (Melissa McCarthy)

The Aristocats (1970)

20130122:
I've seen this movie so many times as both a kid and an adult. In fact, I own the DVD! But watching the film on Netflix is convenient and I realized I can take a screenshot or two to fill the page.

The Aristocats - Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz
Marie (Liz English), Toulouse (Gary Dubin), and Berlioz (Dean Clark)

I love the music in this movie and I love the classic Disney animation.

20190102 Comment:
I previously wrote the following (with some minor edits):
The movies shares plot elements with Disney's Lady and the Tramp (1955), except replacing dogs with cats. With that being said, the romance between the protagonists is more straightforward and doesn't happen over the course of a love song.

However, the statement is misleading (and arguably wrong). In particular, it was almost as if I was saying that The Aristocats is a rip-off of Lady and the Tramp.

Instead, it is a fact that the protagonists in The Aristocats are cats (with dogs appearing in the movie as well) and the protagonists in Lady and the Tramp are dogs (with cats appearing in the movie as well). Furthermore, the movies as a whole are dissimilar.

The Aristocats - Thomas O'Malley and Toulouse
Thomas O'Malley (Phil Harris) and Toulouse

Short Plot Summary to The Aristocats: A mother cat named Duchess and her three children are abducted. An alley cat named Thomas O'Malley helps them return home. Along the way, the two fall in love.

Short Plot Summary to Lady and the Tramp: A dog named Lady is framed for misbehavior and she's brought to the pet shop to get a muzzle put on. She runs away and a stray dog named Tramp helps her out. They begin to fall in love.

Thus, the only similarity between the two movies is that the protagonists are (non-anthropomorphic) animals (true for many Disney movies) and romance (also true for many Disney movies).

I like the relationship that Bill Murray's character and Scarlett Johansson's character share in the movie. I don't entirely know what it consists of, but mostly shared fun and loneliness.

I like this movie's take on Batman's beginnings, though it doesn't go into his background and training the way Batman Begins (2005) does. Instead, it closely follows his trial-and-error phase. It also puts emphasis on James Gordon's introduction to Gotham and follows his endeavors to clean up the city.

James Gordon. I like what he says during this scene.

Both Batman: Year One and Batman Begins end with a reference to a criminal on the loose calling himself The Joker.

I most certainly recommend this movie for anyone who loves Batman. Also, if you like action movies, then I should mention it's also a great action movie.

S10E13
20130305:
So the Wise One said something that goes along with part of my philosophy regarding religion: "Maybe believing in God is enough for him to exist." That is, the belief causes him to exist in some abstract sense.
I think he also said some people just need to believe. That's part of how I feel too.
Ha. Cartman calls himself an asshole. "What an asshole."
Ha. Two phone calls and no change in past yet. Thus, as far as we know, there hasn't been any paradoxes.
Ha. The future changed after he called Kyle. But only slightly.
Wow. What a deep episode. The last point made is basically part of my final conclusion with regards to religion. That if only people were able to acknowledge the purpose of religion, then the world would be a better place. But that's too much to expect.

I would have to say the Beijing opening ceremonies were awesome.
Mocks Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008).

S12E09
20130311:
This was a funny episode (Cartman challenges Wendy, but then avoids it. Cartman is almost successful, but the principal encourages Wendy to fight). Butters is currently my favorite character. [20140629: "I'm finished" is a reference to/parody of There Will Be Blood (2007)]

S12E14
20130311:
Oh Butters.
So I saw Cartman's feet and noticed he had five toes. Then I was wondering how many fingers the characters had. In one scene, I saw the goth kids had four fingers. I did some searching and found the following answer:
How many fingers do SP characters have?
This is a dangerous question to answer...because the answer is both. Cartman, the boys, and most of the SP regulars have 5 fingers traditionally, but depending on the episode, costumes and/or poses, sometimes we'll cheat the animation and use 4 fingers. We did that, as you mentioned, with the Coon claws that Cartman has, and we've done it many other times too. But, come on, whose counting?
