animated.

ever since Pixar came up with 'A Bug's Life' or 'Toy Story,' [can't remember which one came first] i fell in love with animated movies. not that i am childish [well, maybe i am.] maybe it's a form of escapism, seeing that animation looks real, but it isn't [imbento ko lang 'yan. haha.]. i'm so addicted to animated flicks, in a sense that the only mainstream animated movie i missed on the big screen was Cars [we watched 'The Omen.' majority wins eh.]

just watched these 2 animated movies over the past few days with my younger sister. i'm not a credible movie critic and making reviews are not my thing. =p

Happily N'ever After. a young lad working for Prince Charming seeks to prove that happy endings are not by-the-book. add to that the save-the-whole-Fairy Tale Kingdom from Frieda; the evil (and hot) stepmother, who unofficially took charge while the wizard was out-of-town.

i have to give credit to the creators for this refreshing take on fairy tales. but it would be nicer if they added more humor in the plot. heck, even cinderella is bland! (i'm uncomfortable seeing a brunette ella.) the only character that saved the whole thing is Frieda (*Frieda's evil laugh*). oh, and throw in the uber-clueless Prince.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. now this is what i'm talking about. the turtles are (sexy)back! haha. they must save the world from an ancient myth (which, is not actually a myth because it's for real) while trying to keep their brotherhood from falling apart.

though i'm not a huge fan of the cartoons, i like how the movie incorporated the elements of love, action, drama, comedy (courtesy of Michaelangelo) in a single storyline which is not dragging (yet it was bitin. specifically the fight scenes.) plus points for the visually-appealling CGI landscape. cowabunga!

[this is surely an achievement for a blogger like me who always rants about school and often has a difficult time thinking out-of-the-box. haha.]
