ImageMovers’ final film, Mars Needs Moms, hits theaters this weekend. Noted for re-animating classics like The Polar Express, Beowulf, and A Christmas Carol, Disney’s IMB takes a bow with this Berkeley Breathed adaptation directed by Simon Wells.
Check out the review below…
Does the title Mars Needs Moms ring a bell for you? It’s the name of a new Disney animated film and it should be pretty self-explanatory. The film is directed by Simon Wells and is scheduled to hit theaters on March 11, 2011. The studio has released the first trailer for the space-family adventure and it’s interesting to say the least. Check it out for yourself…
There are many of us who feel like they’ve grown up with the toys of Toy Story 3. It’s almost as if they’ve been our toys as much as Andy’s. Woody and the gang are back for the third (and final?) installment of the series that skyrocketed Pixar to the top 15 years ago in 1995. Holy crap… I’m old. So, has Pixar done it yet again? Or is the franchise getting moldy and stale (just like me)? Let’s lay it all out, shall we?
Confessions of a Shopaholic is a surprisingly poignant film mixed in with a lot of estrogen. That being said, yes it is a “chick flick” but, men, if you find yourselves being dragged into this movie, know that it’s really a funny film with more depth than you would expect. This film has two sides in it. It’s really great female, shopping movie and yet it also deals with addiction and digging yourself into a finical whole (something many of us can relate to). Although the latter is fluffed up so that a teenage audience can relate to it, the first part is not as cliche as it could have been due to the unique performance by Isla Fisher. No matter what the subject matter, she’s really great in this film and makes it worth watching.
