Zootopia, A Great Modern Disney Flick
Ninety percent of the world is prey and 10 percent is predator at least that is what the movie Zootopia says about the world it exists in. I tend to say that is about what it is in the real world. Some of us are prey, some of us are predators. Can we live with each other? I don’t know but what I do know is that predators can make life hard for the weak and defenseless.
Zootopia is a delightful movie with a lot of social messages. It’s about opportunity, equality, cooperation, family, love and peace. The core of this movie is the dream of a female rabbit wanting to make the world a better place. I can dig that. Animals coexisting with one another in a place where the balance of life is a part of its utopia. This movie has a great cast and is very well done. I find it better than “Frozen” and “UP”.
On a personal note: After spending a few days in the Universal Studios ecosphere I felt like I betrayed them somehow.
Mr. Peabody and Sherman
This movie is just great, it’s cute and a reminder of the cartoon series in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Ty Burrell of TV’s “Modern Family” does a great job as the voice of Mr. Peabody. There is action, adventure and very quick humor.
#TBT Throwback Thursday – The Breakfast Club
Thirty-two years ago The Breakfast Club assembled for the first time and a movie classic built on timeless teen angst and coming of age was born. This movie came out when I was a teenager back in the 1980’s and it is a movie for all generations. The video above features the last scenes of the movie to the music of Simple Minds “Don’t You Forget About Me”.
The Divergent Series: Allegiant – It’s A Good Flick
We saw part one of Allegiant the final chapter of the Divergent series and it’s a good flick. Sometimes splitting up a finale can help with story telling and in this case two parts will mean there is not as much of a rush to get to the end. Shailene Woodley and Theo James shine in their performances and Jeff Daniels makes a great performance as the new bad guy. I like where the story is good because it’s a cautionary tale of the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. There is also the notion that perfect people in a perfect society don’t always work out.
The 2016 Academy Awards
Tonight is the annual rite of giving and receiving awards in the movie biz. Each year the Oscars let us dream a little and enjoy something fun.
Yeah, I admit I like seeing beautiful people give each other awards once or twice a year. It’s a very important part of the culture of our country. The Oscar’s offer a much needed diversion from the everyday. This year the election is playing out like a horror flick so we need something to take the politics off the screen for a few hours.
