About Nemo

Nemo is the typical movie buff. Well, he hates popcorn though! He watches every kind of movies, in languages he can understand, some he cant. His tastes in movies can only be matched by his diversity. He flows with the film. Get scared in horror ones, tear up in tragedies, and laugh his ass off in comedies. He can give you killer reviews and he doesn't miss many, so you are in for a treat! By Dory

About Dory

Dory is a lazy movie buff. She loves popcorn more than the movie in screen. She watches very less movies but you can bank that the movies she watches are indeed classics. Highly inspired by films at times. The movie she will watch will be her theme of life for rest few days.So people watch out for some rare but classic reviews by her.It will surely be a treat to read.

Ice Age : Dawn of The Dinosaurs (2009)



Imdb link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1080016/

Director: Carlos Saldanha,Mike Thurmeier (co-director)

Genre: Animation,comedy.

Cast(voices of):Karen Disher [Scratte],Ray Romano [Manny],Queen Latifah[Ellie],Denis Leary[Diego],John Leguizamo[Sid],Josh Peck[Eddie] and Simon Pegg [Buck]

Review: Manny & Ellie have settled down and are expecting a baby mammoth. Diego is feeling out of shape as he can no longer chase down gazelles – he is considering quitting the herd. Sid is feeling left out with all this and he wants a family of his own too. Since he is hardly the perfect mating material, he does the next best thing - he finds three largish eggs in a cave and adopts them as his own.
Only, they hatch into baby dinosaurs . And very soon an angry momma dinosaur emerges from a hole in the ground to take her three kids back into their world below. And she takes the hapless Sid with her as well.

Excellent movie.The best among the sequels running on this days,Ice age beats Transformer and Salvation hands down.The animation was beautiful. With each film in the series, the animation gets better. The scenery and colors were great, and the characters were well done as well.There are two new characters introduced in the movie – Scratte, a female flying squirrel who more than flutters her eyelashes at Scrat. The other is Buck, a one eyed swashbuckler of a weasel, who navigates the subterranean with aplomb while sounding like Captain Jack Sparrow.
The film is for everyone and a must watch.Just go for it.

PS:The film is in digital-3d too.

Rating:3.5/5 *two thumbs up*

Genre:Animation,Adventure

Cast: (Voices of)Edward Asner as Carl Fredricksen,Jordan Nagai as Rusell,Christopher Plummer as Charles Muntz and Bob Peterson as Dug / Alpha.

Review:I was waiting for this Pixar flick since ages.Being a big fan of Pixar i was expecting them to do one step ahead of their last one.There’s one thing you can always say for a Pixar movie. It WILL be a box office smash.

Well Up is a story of Carl Frederickson, a quiet young man who falls in love with Ellie, a young firebrand dedicated to the pursuit of adventure, both of which share a common love of the tales of industrialist adventurer Charles Muntz.Fast forward to the future, Carl, now a widower, finds himself in a position to realize his and his late wife’s dream…but it won’t be anywhere near as simple as he imagines.This begins a tale of adventure and laughs that’ll easily rank Up among Pixar’s best.

I am happy,excited and proud to have witnessed this great movie by PIXAR.The little boy,the album of old couple,the crossing heart, floating house.talking dog,strange bird and the adventure will just set your mood.Just go for it guys.

Rating:3.5/5 *Pixar did it again*

Ratatouille (2007)


Imdb link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382932/

Genre:Animation,comedy.

Cast(or voices of): Patton Oswalt(Lemy),Ian Holm(Skinner),Brian Dennehy and Janeane Garofalo.

Review:Ratatouille is the story of an aspiring chef named Remy (Patton Oswalt) who wants to be the best chef in Paris. There is just one problem - Remy is a rat. The movie opens with Remy’s refined olfactory sense landing him the job of a poison detector in his father’s colony. Exasperated with his family’s lack of appreciation of fine food , Remy sneaks into the countryside cottage of an old woman and secretly watches a cooking show featuring his inspiration Chef Gusteau (Brad Garnett), whose spirit incidentally, is his guardian angel.Its a fun movie about Remy's journey from a rat to the most famous chef in Paris.

After Finding Nemo this movie can be termed as Pixar's one of the finest products.The film entertains you in all ways.Aptly said "Not everyone can be a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere."

Rating:3.5/5 *Nice one*

Coraline (2009)



Imdb link :http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327597/

Genre: Animation | Family

Cast : Dakota Fanning(voice of Coraline),Teri Hatcher (Mother/Other mother),Jennifer Saunders(Miss Spink),John Hodgman (Coraline's father/other father)

Review: The movie tag line says 'Be careful what you wish for'.I saw this movie with lot of wishes actually,wished to enjoy a animated movie after Wall-E.And i can say now I enjoyed every bit of it.Coraline is a story of A young adventurous girl Coraline Jones,who recently shifted to a new place with her mom and dad.Poor girl is having a pretty busy family, both Mom and Dad don't have much time to talk to or otherwise pay attention to Coraline.So she continues her adventures in nearby wood and in her big home too.She meets this whiz-kid Wybie (Robert Bailey Jr) in woods and they became friends,he gifts her a look-alike doll.Things were quite good when one day Coraline walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. A whole new world with a 'other mother','other father','other Wybie' and even 'other neighbours'.But all of them buttons sewed to eyes instead of real eyes.Other Mother and Other Father want Coraline to stay with them in their world where they promise to lavish love and attention on her in ways her own parents have been neglecting to do .But soon her adventure turns dangerous when she discovers the ugly part of the new discovered world.

As a grown up i loved the movie,Coraline is definitely not for kids.Its a real enjoyable film for teens i must say,more over the film is rated PG for images,some dialogues.The film takes stop motion animation to a whole new level.A definite pick if its running in a nearby theatre to you,watch this film which is going to Oscar's next year for sure.

Rating: 3/5 *Watch it,enjoy it*
