New Year day

This message is dedicated to the hard working men and women who constructed the Big Apple for 2009.

I am sitting at home watching CNN and it is 12:00 AM and I saw the Big apple drop. They said that the Big apple is twice as big as last year. It is 2 tons. The Clintons helped drop the big apple. Former President Clinton and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton under the Obama administration. This year will be better. We have a new president and the United States will gradually come out of a recession.This world will have a more prosperious new year than 2008. We will not face another Wall Street crisis again. The world needs to be focused on captureing the terroist that killed civilians in Mumbai. In these hard economic times, People still have fun and come out into Manhattan to Time Square. They want to watch the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift , and other performances. In these hard economic times,People still work twice as hard to make a ball twice as big. They wanted to show that the bad economy will stop this nation from having fun.

Bolt (2008)

This review is dedicated to Walt Disney and Walt Disney pictures hard working Men and women who worked on Bolt. Good Job and Thank you for a wonderful movie. Happy New Year Walt Disney.

It all started when Bolt was at the pet store when a girl named Penny came in. She adopted Bolt and 5 years later Bolt became a Television star. Bolt has been a television star along with Penny his whole life. He does not know it is televison because he has never been off the set. He has always stayed in a trailer on set. Penny loves him. Then one day when something wrong happened on the set, Bolt accidentally got shipped to New York. The accident happened when the Green eyed man captured Penny. Bolt thought it was all real and he escaped from his trailer and fell in a shipping box. Now he met an ally cat named Mittens and they met when the pigeons tricked Bolt to thinking that the cat worked for the Green eyed man. The pigeons wanted to get revenge on mittens. Now Bolt and Mittens are tied togeather to travel all the way across the country to Hollywood. In Ohio, They met Rhino. Rhino is just fan that watches a lot of the Bolt shows and is the ultimate fan. He is a hamstuter that lives with an old lady in an RV. In this cross road adventure Mittens and Bolt get friendlier to each other when Bolt realized that he is just a dog on a TV show. He started as a dog that thinks that everything in his show is real to a more realistic dog at the end. This reaches a happy ending with Penny taking care of both Mittens and Rhino. Bolt is no longer enemies with the cat, Mittens instead they are good friends. My favorite part was when they reached Las Vegas , Nevada because I went to Las Vegas recently and was so excited to see the famous Las Vegas strip again. I saw MGM Grand, Treasure Island, New York New York, Paris Las Vegas, Bally in animated form. That was just cool how I can see a place in a movie and I just recently been there. The coolest part of the movie is that I got to see Bolt in Disney Digital 3D.
The storyboard was excellent because it gave background imformation on how Penny got Bolt at the very begining then leads to several scenes Bolt episode shots that leads to why Bolt ended up in New York. It Ends with how Bolt returned back to Los Angleses Hollywood. It also shows the experiences that Bolt had with Mittens and Rhino. It shows that Bolt has gotten more realistic of his TV show character's super powers. He also have 2 new friends, so this adventure has been more than trying to find Penny. It was an experience learning about the outside world. The world that was different from the glamor of a Hollywood set.
This movie has great shots with lots of shot variety and great visuals. The movie showed the great places around the 48 states. My favorite was Las Vegas because I just visited lasvegas during Thanksgiving and I got to see the foundain show of Bellagio again. They made every landmark especially Las Vegas with high pixels.This movie is pure hard work, intellegence, creativity, and high goals. A proverb once said, "It is not that you are afraid of setting your goals to high , but you set it too low that you can't reach it"
I was discussing this movie and believed that this movie can reach an Oscar. It might be Best sound effects, Best Visual effects, Best Animated film , Best Supporting Actress, or Best actor.
The best part about this movie is that it has a solid movie that does not loose focus. It is the best Disney animated movie of the year. Good Job Disney. You reached exceed Expectations and you will get an Oscar. That is the reward for your Success and hard working employees.Thank you Disney.
Walt Disney you have set a legacy, thank you. Not a single filmmakers have made so many good animated movies as your company did. From Alice in Wonderland to Bolt you have built a foundation for future filmmakers of Walt Disney Studios. Thank You and happy new year.

In this epic series the O'Connells are going to China. This movie has awesome visual effects, special effects, camera shots, and story.
One of the best movie of the season.
The story does not have random scenes, everything flows not like Hancock. When they were filming in the Himalayas,they made it so real. Everything has great action like the battle between the undead and the Terracotta warriors.
This is my absolute favorite of the season. Rent it or buy it at Walmart. They have the greatest prices. This movie has great acting. The best acting was acting in acting when the O'connell's friend betrayed them and worked for the enemy that wants to bring the Dragon Emperor back from the grave.

Fly me to the moon is a movie that takes place in 1969 during Apollo 11 moon landing. It is about three flies that board the Apollo 11. They landed on the moon with the Apollo 11 three man crew. Join Scooter, IQ, and Nat in a animated comedy.
This animated film is not just funny, but it has historical details into the movie.
My favorite fly is Scooter because scooter eats non stop. He loves food and can't let go of a choclate cake. He is like me , but not as fat or eat as much. Even when his life is in danger, scooter keeps on eating.
My next favorite is IQ. IQ is my favorite because he is the smartest fly I've seen. He knows how to read english, do math,and do science. I just find it funny because how many flies do that.
Another favorite is Nat. Nat is a funny fly that likes to explore. His grandfather helped Amelia Eairheart fly to France across the Atlantic. Nat is just inspired by his grandfather's journey.

This movie is a animated comedy perfect for the Holidays. Rent it from your locatal video store.

Hancock

Hancock is a movie starring Will Smith and is another superhero movie. It is about a loser superhero who saves lives while he causes damage to Los Angles. The citizens of Los Angles hates him, but he saves lives. He was insaulted and called loser by everybody in Los Angles. From a child to adults, they all insaulted him the same way. It wasn't until he met Ray. Ray works for helping the world. Ray wants to help Hancock and his son believes Hancock is his Hero. Aaron, Ray's son, loves Hancock and he thinks of Hancock as a hero or a role model.
Ray decides to help Hancock be more active with the people of Los Angleses. Ray decides that Hancock go to jail for 2 weeks and no hero work. That way crime willm increase and the city will beg to release Hancock. They will release him 2 weeks after because they know Hancock is needed.
This movie has great camera shots, visual effects, and camera effects. They had lots of Shot variety and made me excited. I love how they had Hancock fly. I know that he's on a blue screen, but they created the perfect illusion. I also enjoy how they created the part between super women and Hancock. Hancock got her angry and you can see in the background tornados forming. I just enjoy seeing that part because they demonstrated to me that Super Women is more powerful than Hancock.
One of the cons is the Story and plot. They story goes well in the being with hancock saving lives,but then it jumps to him fighting Super women. It has no connection to the story. I don't think there even is a story. This movie has a terriable story that it made me want to change the channel.
You can watch one time and rent the disc, but don't buy it. It is not worth a rewatch.

Max and Treavor has studied the Earth and believed that there are volcanic tubes in the earth that passes the mantle to the Center of the earth.

Togeather Treavor , Sean, and there Icelandic mountain guide, Hannah, are going to the center of the Earth to find proof for Max's research. In this epic journey, Treavor, Sean and Hannah are going to discover dinosaurs, a terearium at the center of the earth, and extinct lightning birds. They find diamonds, rubies, feldspur, and emerald. This is an exciting journey with excellent camera shots and great visual effects. The camera shots are excellent. I never gor bored from looking at the movie. The Director of Photography is excellent. The movie is suspenseful, exciting, mouth-watering makes me want to see it again and again. I watched this movie at least 5 times and still wants to see more. This movie may have great camera shots, viusl effects, and special effects, it lacks a strong story and plot. It is not creative enough. They should have added to Verne's novel. It is not enough, they did not reach exceed expectations, they aimed for medicroacy. Medicrocy is great, but that is what 95% of the world's population does. Be like the 5% like Bill Gates, Tigar woods, Steven Speilburg, and Zhang Yimou. I am disappointedated at the stroy and plot. I found so excited at the suspense , but disappointed at the story and plot.
