Fantastic Mr. Fox

Posted by kp at 10:01 AM Labels: , , , , , , , 0 comments

Although I like Wes Anderson movies, I didn't know how I'd feel about this movie, as I'm not a huge fan of George Clooney, and this is animated? I was skeptical.

I'm so glad I saw this movie, It was quite wonderful! I don't remember this book from when I was a kid... so I can't compare it.

I loved all the people in this movie, although I'm surprised that Angelica Houston wasn't Ms. Fox... or in the movie at all, as she's usually a staple in Wes' movies.

This movie is about a fox who loves to be a bandit, when he finds out he'll be a father his wife asks him to quit all the messing around... fast forward to a life with a wife and a young cub, his nephew comes to live with them and he can't help but get into his old tricks.. stealing chickens and cider.. the great heist! when the land owners start learning that Mr. Fox is stealing from them, they go after him at full force. Sparking a huge battle.. This movie goes an the adventure of this Fox family's life time.

This movie is quite hilarious and intriguing, I love that it's stop motion!

highly recommended.

Up in the Air

I found this movie to be pleasantly surprising. I'm not a huge fan of George Clooney in general but I really enjoyed his performance in this movie. This movie has been talked about a lot recently, some calling it the best movie of 09... I think that's too bold but I did enjoy it.

This book turned movie is about a guy who's job is to be hired by other corporations to come in and fire their employees. Albeit a sad idea, it gives this guy something to look forward to, hitting 10 million miles flown. He happens to meet a woman who also flies a lot for her job... but here's the kicker, that little thing called telecommuting starts to take over his world. A fresh face new hire has come up with a sure fire way, (get it) to fire people over the internet.
The story has a good amount of laughs, makes you feel down right sad, and a little dirty.
With the inclusion of Danny McBride, you know things will be alright.

I'd say this is a good movie to go see.
