Happy Feet (2006)
Too Real & Too Scary
I was so excited for a nice, happy, animated holiday movie. Happy Feet seemed to deliver at the beginning with amazingly real animation of dancing, singing, swimming, cute little penguins. The opera like musical numbers were very fun & energetic. The story of Mumble becoming an outcast and having to find his own way was engaging. But then the movie turned into Greenpeace propaganda and lost all sense of the animated fun I was having. The "March of The Penguins" style troubles Mumble gets into are much too real for children. The animation is almost too good at this point and it's down right scary. Although the movie turns back around at the end, I still can't imagine watching it again. Another disappointing movie for 2006.
Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! (2006)
Great for fans-Good for others
I went into this movie expecting something totally different. But what I got was pretty awesome. The shakiness of the amateur videography sometimes caused a kind of "Blair Witch" effect on me, but the professional camera shots that were worked into it balanced the effect. The audio is booming & is much like being at a concert. The style of the movie changes gradually throughout the show, which kept me focused on the screen when I was tempted to just rock out in my seat. The Beastie Boys have been on the scene for a long time. This movie shows not only their ability to rock a sold out show at Madison Square Garden, but it also conveys the amazing connection they have with each and every fan in that audience. If you're a fan, you must see it. Even if you're not a rabid follower of the Boys, you'll still enjoy the show. I left the theater feeling as if I had been at The Garden that night.
