A Christmas Carole (3D)
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Staring: Jim Carrey

Rating 5/5

I was apprehensive when I first heard Disney was doing a remake of a remake of a book, in 3D. That all changed after I saw the first trailer…..

First of all due, to the way it was animated, it allowed Jim Carrey to play multiple parts, staring as Scrouge and all of the ghosts. After seeing this film I am convinced that Jim Carrey is no longer the Grinch, even though he suited the role so well. The animation was just amazing. I was worried that Disney may abuse the 3D gimmick to death, but they made a classic tale into a thrilling 3D experience. Though I would warn viewers that if you are sitting up close, as you should be for a full 3D experience, that you may get a tough of vertigo during a few scenes.

This movie really brought to life one of my favourite Christmas stories. There are parts to make you laugh and some that make you jump, all the while holding true to Dickens classic tale of the spirit of Christmas. I loved this movie from beginning to end; I highly recommend it to all, young and old to help get you in the Christmas spirit!

I recently saw “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I went in expecting to see a cute kid’s movie with cool animation. What I ended up seeing was a film that managed to mix a touching message with comedy and adventure.

The film tells the story of Flint Lockwood, an aspiring inventor since childhood who has managed to create a machine that turns water into food. Seems awesome, right? Of course something goes wrong and Flint must save his beloved town. Along the way he meets wannabe reporter Sam Sparks, whom he quickly develops affection for.
