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) Kazed

Law Abiding Citizen review

Synopsis Gerard Butler plays a man who has been a victim of a considerably brutal crime, and doesn't get the result that was hoped for and learns that the justice system is more corrupt than he thought, and he sets out to get revenge. Or Justice. This film seemed extremely promising from the trailer, and quite honestly, a majority of the film, about a good 75% of the film was really quite interesting. The plot was something to be cherished, it actually had the capacity to be something special, and up until the moment where he was discovered, things went downhill. That's not to say that the downhill was bad. Although incredibly lacking in the originality department, it was entertaining nonetheless. The discovery of Butler could've been done so much more better, it just seemed as though the entire momentum of the film was reliant on the end, which crumbled.  Crumbled because it was just a predictable ending. I'm dwelling far too much on the ending here. Like I said, the first three quarters of the film were well written, entertaining, the action was reasonably spaced, meaning it wasn't just a quick succession of explosions and violence, but instead it was intermittent and left me deliberating about what would be next. Jaime Foxx was a good choice to put in this role, his character had a sense of craftiness about him, and I really thought he played the part of a crooked lawyer really well. The idea of coming back to the incident 10 years later was clever, considering all the planning that went into the retribution, it all comes down to how the ending completely rubbed faecal matter all over the majority of the film. Overall, good film, bad ending. 7/10 Kazed
