Toy Story 3 (2010) review
Synopsis: The toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home. Eleven years after the last Toy Story outing, I would say that it was definitely worth the wait. Containing all the elements that made the past Disney/Pixar films a huge success, Toy Story 3 was a well-done, beautiful masterpiece that has joined the long line of films which have been both a financial and critical triumph. Onto the film. Toy Story 3 was equally as incredible as the previous two feats, but on another level; the story in this film is what made it that little bit more exciting. Toward the climax of the film, there was a moment where I foolishly thought it would abruptly end. How naive I was. Everything that took place in the film was extremely gripping, moving and I felt emotionally touched throughout, having grown up with the film. Although the previous plot involving Buzz Lightyear being recalled sounded more exciting, the new plot was still an exciting, and well-done replacement. The '3D' used in the film was adequate; very reminiscent of that used in the re-release of Toy Story back in January (Review HERE). Honestly, it wasn't required. It feels like the studios are literally slapping a '3D' label on anything to make that extra dollar(or pound, or whatever), and it really didn't work. There were some moments where you could really see the difference(Really just differences in depth of field), and some moments where it just wasn't needed at all. I couldn't help but notice the huge similarity between one of the characters in this film(no spoilers here) and 'The Prospector' from Toy Story 2. Wasn't a bad thing, just felt it needed to be pointed out. This, was a Pixar film, so it was difficult to pick out any flaws. If there were any, I didn't want to know. Toy Story 3 was well worth the 11-year wait, and whether they choose to make a sequel or not, I'll be happy watching the trilogy for years to come. 9.5/10 (Because nothing's perfect) Kazed0
Classics: You've Got Mail review
The term 'rom-com' is used so loosely these days it's hard to decide which is and which isn't. It's classics like 'You've Got Mail' which are the staples of these so-called 'romantic comedies'. Synopsis: I found 'You've Got Mail' to be quirky, profound and just plain different from other romantic films I've seen in the past. It had elements of the typical formulaic romantic film, but overall it was a different, refreshing, and warm-hearted romantic-comedy. The way the two characters(Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks) in the film develop the relationship was what intrigued me the most. It was an innocent kind of relationship which didn't extend beyond the borders of- well, innocence. It was merely an exchange of views on daily life between individuals of the opposite sex, while keeping both their identities a secret. Though both of them were in seemingly committed relationships, neither of them seemed to care how deep in they were getting into the situation. The scene where Ryan and Greg Kinnear talk about their relationship was precisely what I'm referring to when I say this isn't like any other rom-com. The way they both reacted and behaved after this was sheer comedy, and was most definitely noteworthy. It was something which I hadn't saw before and is exactly why I felt this film was peculiar(in a good way), and rightly so classed as a 'Classic'. Good film, quirky dialogue, intriguing concept, fresh look at internet relationships. 8/10 Kazed0
