Disney Sequels OMG!!

Hey everybody,

Just trying to make up for the three weeks that I have been gone.  I have some news for you all.  Remember my rant about the Little Mermaid 2 (LM2).  Well let me give the my history with the movie.  You see, I loved the first film.  I loved the aquatic environment, the fluid animation, and the some of the main characters.  As I stated before I did not like Ariel's personality (see previous blogs for why not).  But Ursula was so freaking awesome, and "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is still one of the best villain songs ever.

The first time I ever saw the movie was with my sister when I was about six years old, and when I heard there was going to be a sequel, I was so excited.  I remember watching the trailer, and my first thoughts were that the animation seemed a bit choppy.  I didn't care.  I kept thinking about what new plot they were going to come up with?  Who was going to be the main villain?  Would the villain have a kickass song like Ursula?  I remember my mom took me to Toys R Us, and I held the film in my hands.  I loved the "idea" of the film so much that my aunt bought the LM2 Melody Doll (which is now one of the most rare dolls in existence; seriously, the doll is like over $500 now).  I remember rushing home to watch it, and when I finished watching it I was completely DISAPPOINTED.

You can read my rant about it in the previous blog.  The reason why I am posting this is to sympathize with all those kids who remember the films from the Disney Renaissance, and the fact that that they were happy to see the sequels (until they watched them).

The only "good" (and I say this rarely) Disney sequel that I can remember is "Lion King 2: Simba's Pride."  Ok, I know it's flawed, but it has a consistent story, good music, fluid animation (for the most part), and good voice acting.  I personally thought that Neve Campbell was the perfect choice to voice Kiara.  She has this soft, innocent voice that conveys the awkwardness and naiveness of the character.  For LM2, I did NOT like Tara Strong (then Tara Chendroff) as the voice of Melody.  Her voice was just way too high and annoying.  Don't get me wrong,  I love Tara Strong.  My favorite Tara Strong character is Raven from Teen Titans.  She's awesome, but this role was not meant for her.

And yes I do own both of these films, but if I had to choose I would totally incinerate LM2 into ashes.  I really do like Lion King 2.  I will not do a review on it.  You all can watch the Cinematic Nutcase's review of it on YouTube or Blip.tv.

Thank for reading.

I'm the Movie Rant Reviewer.  I rant about it, because no one else will.

Movie Reviews

Hey guys,

I am sorry for not posting a blog in a while.  Three midterms in one week will do that to a girl.  Well as of today I don't know what will be my next review.  I thought about doing "Barney's Great Adventure", but now I am not so sure.  I have a incomprehensible fear of that film.  :(

Any suggestions guys on what I should review?  Oh, I'm still trying to get the "Never Cry Werewolf" review from my friend.

I think that I will have to review "Little Mermaid 2."  Since it was my rant about it that started this blog.  I hope some of you like my Top 5 and "Ratatoing" review.  I still getting use to doing video reviews and so far I have only done voice over ones.  I guess that fine for now.  I only hope that I can improve on it as time goes on.  I don't have the expectation that I will ever get on ThatGuyWithThe Glasses anytime soon, but I can only wish that someday I can.

Updates:  Well, I really don't have any so far.  Still trying to get through that list of movies that I posted a while back.  Thanks for reading guys, and I sorry that I haven't written in like three weeks.  I'll try harder to keep up with the blogs.  "Try" being the operative word here!  ;)

A movie called Tentacolino...WTF!

As many of you know, there is an animated Titanic movie trilogy out there.  When I saw the first one, I never even imagined that they would have the balls to write another one.  Once again, the human race proved me wrong in what they will shamelessly do for money.  The last one called "Tentacolino", is utter and complete S-H-I-T!  That's all it is.  I can't say anything else!  You know what that means.  VIDEO REVIEW TIME!  I know that I have to do this now.  Well, first I have to work on the Ratatoing review this weekend, so expect an animated Titanic movie marathon.  I think that it will have to wait to March though (because I'll have to write a script).  Now that I got all my things in order, I think that I will do it.  I am petrified to do it though.  But it must be done!  I hope my brain doesn't explode from the shear hate that I have for these movies.  God, I wonder if it will be as bad as "Never Cry Werewolf".  Oh, I shudder at the thought of that.  I am going to have to collaborate with my friend in Chicago in order to write the script.   This should be fun, NOT!

Pray for me people!!

Animated Titanic movies:
1)  The Animated Titanic Movie
2)  The Legend of the Titanic
3)  Tentacolino

Oh, I also have my sights on reviewing "Barney's Great Adventure" next week!  Oh boy!

Mes Blogs en français

Bonjour tout le monde,

Je pense que je commencerai à traduire mes blogs en français.  Quand j'ai écrit mon blog de SOPA/PIPA, j'ai dû lire des livres pour mon cours de français, et je ne pouvais pas m'arrêter.  Cette journée, je parlais français et je pensais aussi en français.  C'est juste une pensée.  Il est possible que j'écrive mes blogs en cette façon.  Je ne sais pas que je le fasse.  Dites-moi vos opinions sur celui-ci.  Merci mille fois!

Il faut battre le fer pendant qu'il est chaud!

En anglais:  
Hi everyone,

I think that I will being to translate my blogs in French.  When I wrote my blog about SOPA/PIPA in french, I had to read some books for my French class that day, and I could not stop myself.  That day, I was speaking in french and think in French too. It's just a thought.  It is possible that I may write my blogs in this way.  I don't know if I'll do it.  Tell me your opinions on this here.  Thanks a lot.

Deviant Art and Life Message

Hey Guys,

I just signed up with Deviant Art.  I am very excited, because I uploaded two pictures that I drew a couple of months ago.  I still not sure what kind of things will draw, but I think that it will be a little bit of everything.

This weekend, I think that I'll finally get my things together and do a voice over review of Ratatoing this weekend.  I already have a script, and I would just have to alter the video parts to voice over.  I really liked doing the Top 5 Princess review, and I think that I will do one every couple of months.

A lot of my friends from school have been asking me why I decided to do these video reviews.  I would like to say that like most internet reviewer I was inspired by the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic.  I really liked that they came up with so many creative ideas on their reviews, and they spark this revolution of internet reviewing.  I remember during my junior year in high school I came across another internet reviewer called the Nostalgic Nutcase (currently known as the Cinematic Nutcase), and I saw how well he did his reviews.  He didn't need green screen effects.  All he had were good observations of the film, a good script for the review, and a very charismatic personality.   I really was inspired by him and others like him.  I enjoy analyzing films, and I like to see if I can say something about films that no one has done.

While thinking about a "Top 5" list, I couldn't think of something that was not done already.  Everyone has done a "Top #" list of TV shows, Disney movies, worst Disney Sequels, Disney Princesses, etc.  I finally just came up with an idea to do the "Top 5 Disney and Non-Disney Princess Who Deserve an 'I want more' song."  The point that I am trying to make is that, I enjoyed the process of trying to figure out what I wanted to review.  It's such an accelerating process that really challenges your mind.  I love it!

I know it's weird that I am doing this.  I am majoring in Animal Sciences and French.  In no way are these majors even related to film.  But you know what, I enjoy doing it.  That's the message I want to get out there.  All you people in high school, I hope that you know that it's better to do something you enjoy that's weird, than torturing yourself by not doing anything just to be cool.  Even if you are an adult, you can still follow this message.  Do what you like to do (that's not illegal).  I am glad that I had this attitude in high school (and I have it now).

I am weird, and I am proud to say that.  Do what you like to do!!!  Don't stop doing it because someone says it's weird or stupid.  I love going to comic book store.  I just bought the two "Charmed" comics that came out (I totally suggest that you guys check it out).  I also bought a copy of "Kiki's Delivery Service" (I love Hayao Miyazaki).  I am just saying be yourself, and in the end you will be very happy.  High school is just a phase in your life, and when you get to college you won't remember any of those people you hated.  Trust me.

ENJOY LIFE!!

Thanks guys!

Finally A Review is Up!!!

Hey guys,

I am not sure whether I should do voice-over reviews or actual video reviews.  I just feel that doing voice-over reviews is less time consuming for me, and I can actually get them on YouTube and Blip.tv faster.  For now, I'll just stick to voice-over commentaries on reviews.  When I have more free time, I will do video reviews.  I really enjoy doing them, but at this time I just can't do it.  I hope that I didn't disappoint anyone. 

I am sorry I haven't written a blog on here in like a month, but my school schedule has been a little crazy.  However, I have good news.  FINALLY, I have a review up.  My "Top 5 Disney and Non-Disney Princesses Who Deserve an 'I want more' Song" is being uploaded to YouTube at this very moment.  I am very proud of myself.  The "Never Cry Werewolf" review is being finalized right now as well, and I will put the link on here as soon as it is uploaded (probably within the next week).  Thank you all who read my blog, and I thank you for your patience.  I hope that you all my like it.  I worked really hard on it.  Thank you.
