Double Whammy!

Took Jecca for her first double bill today.

Over The Hedge.

Very funny and well done. Very cartoony but such a cracking cast that it couldn't possibly go wrong.

Bruce Willis, who is a great actor. Jumping from Roles like John MacClane and Hartigan to Korben Dallas easily.

Stever Carrel, you should know about him. He is brilliantly funny. Having him as a hyper-active squirrel was great. You can just picture him in the recording booth, makes me think of Al Gore in the Futurama episode........you know the one.

William Shatner, as an over actor........BRILLIANT!

Also has.........(hang on to you're seats) The Strobe. Mind blowingly good cast.

Its very funny normal kind of kids plot which won't make you think that much, but good fun had by all.

A strong 8/10



Next in line was Cars


Cars was........ok. This film is being marketed to kids as being brilliant and that they have to see it and love it and then get all of the toys to go with it.

Oddly enough I felt the same about Finding Nemo. The film wasn't that good, but everyone was raving about it.

The animation on the cars was very cartoony but, all the backdrops were mind blowingly good. There is one bit when you have two cars racing, one has a reflective sticker on, the light is reflecting onto the car next to it.............I mean really well. Its the subtle things like that, that are putting Pixar on the map.

Avoiding the marketing and just looking at the film as it is, gives you the normal morals that you'd expect from a Disney influenced film. But it is enjoyable none the less.

7/10

So comedy wins over all for me.

Jecca prefered Cars but agreed that Over The Hedge was funnier. And it only took three hours of screaming at her, she's learning.
