Toy Story 3, 2010 – a lesson in Humanity

June 24th, 2010 • 8 comments Advertlets, Events, MAIN, Movie Reviews

The cowboy and the spaceman. The piggy bank and the green dinosaur.

Thanks to Toy Story and Toy Story 2, these became the most familiar movie characters of all time. With Toy Story 3, the whole gang’s back – along with a few newcomers too.

Namely the meanest pink teddy bear you’ve ever seen. Well, actually Lotso is quite cute. (Lesson 1: Do not be deceived by appearance.)

Strawberry smelling some more!

Another show worth watching – KICK ASS!

Another GREAT movie for the laughs!

It’s opening tomorrow at the cinemas! Do yourself a favour and go watch with your friends & family (err…not entirely suitable for kids under 15 me thinks!) and get the mood going for a good weekend ahead. Seriously, my foul mood evaporated after watching it. Haha.. it’s hard not to be feel lifted in spirits after watching it :razz:

Let me warn you though, I watched this under press screening so I’m not sure if it’s censored crazily for the public screening. The language is foul, the kids in the movie sure doesn’t act like kids, the parent in the movie (Nicolas Cage) is definitely NOT a role model and the gore plus blood makes your eyes widen and your mouth hanging.

And though I hate “unrealistic”, “overboard” movies, I truly enjoyed this one. It’s funny (ok, I’m a sucker for humour), it does have touching human/moral elements & HIT GIRL is sooooo COOL!!

I generally hate kids, but I don’t mind a daughter like her (see below) . Cool eh??? :mrgreen:

When in Rome..

Truth to be told, I do not believe in true love and all that jazz.

Yet I absolutely adore light-hearted, silly, preposterous romantic comedies. There are (at least to me) antidotes to the jaded worn soul, a stress-reliever after a long day/week’s work & it provides the excuse for one to laugh hysterically, which IMHO, the best medicine one should have at disposal in keeping all illnesses at bay.
