Decent Essays

The movie started off poorly but as it progressed it got noticeably better. Maybe it was just me but the opening was by far the worst part of the movie but it quickly got better. While the first act was forgettable the movie found its stride during the first Death Star test, the movie never looked back. From fantastic Easter eggs (highlighted and allusions to Obi-Wan Kenobi and an appearance by Grand Moff Tarkin) to action scenes and plot twists.

    On the evening of Saturday October 8th, the cast of the play Fuddy Meers took the stage and put on a unique and exquisite performance. The play took place in the Temple Theatre which I found was a highly interesting venue.

The revolving setup of the stage was perfect for this play and it allowed much versatility for the characters during specific instances.…

    Pixar's movie WALL-E, may be able two robots falling in love but the message is directed solely at the humans. In the film, the last generations of the human race are overweight and lazy people who’s only mode of transportation is a moving chair and only way to consume food is by putting the food into a liquid form to be eaten. While companies like Disney and Pixar is usually draw their cartoon figures with the tiniest of waists, the characters in Wall-E changed that stereotype. People believed that the creators of Wall-E were calling the human race out saying that people who are overweight do not have as much worth in society as slimmer people. Unfortunately a large majority of the population who watch Pixar movies today are overweight so immediately there was a sudden lashing out about the movie and the message it was sending.…

    Most animated characters that are directed toward children tend to be very simple in design, they often offer colorful images that will easily grab the attention of the young adolescents that are watching the program.

    Pixar has truly created something special with the film inside out. The director, Pete Docter embarked on a wild plot, exploring how emotions interact and fight for control of our lives. Inside out tackles bigger issues than just children's entertainment making it very comparable to Pixar's “WALL-E”. When I first read the synopsis, I was hesitant to say the least. Do I really want to know how a young girl named Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) deals with moving houses?…

    In the climax, our hero Dale must rescue Allison from a disfigured maniac. Dale frees the damsel in distress after a brief fight scene, and the maniac falls to his death. The whole movie seemed dedicated to defying the audience’s expectations. I'm surprised they chose to end with the plot Mario style, where our hero has to save the girl from the bad guy. The sincerity of the movie up to this point is almost squandered to provide a happy ending.…
