FW MOVIE PICK: EPIC

I honestly didn’t know what to make of this Blue Sky Studios film, other then that it looks great on a visual level, but the end result is that it doesn’t entirely live up to its title! Clearly taking inspiration from far superior movies like FernGully and Avatar, this flick falls kind of short in […]

FW MOVIE PICK: ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT

Even this installment bringing in some raw talent and having a larger cast then ever before can’t save this film from sinking really low! While its visuals continue to dazzle and it does have some tender moments, still it feels to much of a rehash of the series earlier efforts. Even things like the father-daughter […]

FW MOVIE PICK: RIO

For a movie set in the city of Rio known for its lewd behavior and music, its hard to believe it got away with its G rating! This Blue Sky Studios movie dazzles on so many levels; mainly for its colorful animation, memorable songs (personal favorite “I Wanna Party”) and its great voice cast. Interestingly […]

FW MOVIE PICK: ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS

I have to admit, when I first saw the poster for this movie, it gave me goosebumps and I was a little excited until I saw the movie itself! The animation still continues to improve and the dinosaurs do look great, I got to admit. But this is the point in the series where they […]

FW MOVIE PICK: DR SEUSS’ HORTON HEARS A WHO!

“A persons a person, no matter how small!” The famous quote from the arguably best adaptation from Dr. Seuss’s library, after the live action horrors that were “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “The Cat in the Hat”! From Jim Carrey as the titular character (in his second Dr. Seuss role) and Steve Carrell as […]

FW MOVIE PICK: ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN

I really had no idea if Ice Age was going to be a one-shot project from Blue Sky Studios, but when I heard there would be a sequel, I was definitely intrigued! However the end result is the usual funny antics of Scrat and the animation getting progressively better, but the story itself is kind […]

FW MOVIE PICK: ROBOTS

The next offering from Blue Sky Studios leaves a lot to be desired and like Cars, it makes you wonder where these living machines came from, best I digress! This is a delightful venture about robots and looks great in the animation department, but its story is kind of predictable story and I don’t usually […]

FW MOVIE PICK: ICE AGE

In the realm of the competing computer-animated companies Pixar and Dreamworks, Blue Sky Studios is usually stuck in the middle and their first film is no different.! Honestly I didn’t know what to expect, until I saw that first teaser with Scrat the Saber-tooth Squirrel and laughed hysterically and its no wonder he became the […]

FW MOVIE PICK: EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS

“Get back, you eight-legged freaks!” The quote that I remember the most about this campy homage to 1950’s B-Movies. This is yet another spider flick I at first avoided, but my brother until he convinced me to see it. And it just turned out to be good campy fun, that doesn’t take itself to seriously. […]

FW MOVIE PICK: MARS ATTACKS

Tim Burton’s first attempt at tacking the sci-fiction genre leaves a lot to be desired here and I feel I should look back on it! When it comes to which alien invasion movie was the most popular in 1996, usually Independence Day pops into peoples head and who could blame them. This spoof does well […]
