Circumstances, Jerry, beyond the uh... acts of God, have forced me to put off my Bolt review for a few days (let alone the other things I'd planned on putting together this week). I shall not, however, let that stop me from, this evening or tomorrow morning, writing my review of the 50th Disney animated feature, Tangled.
Until that can happen, let me say this: ignore the trailers for this movie. They lie - desperately. They do not merely suggest that it's a different movie than it is, they suggest it's exactly the opposite movie than it is. Nor do they do justice to its seductive and beautiful animation. I hope whoever okayed the marketing for this film is shot and fired, in that order.

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.
Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
I'm seeing Tangled later today, and have not been excited for it. What you just said made me feel a lot more hopeful though. I suppose it speaks well to your abilities as a reviewer that I trust you more than the rest of Rotten Tomatoes combined.
ReplyDeleteQuickly!
ReplyDelete3D or not 3D?
1- I thought i read your Bolt review already.
ReplyDelete2- What??! Next you're going to say that Alpha & Omega is nothing like its trailer, and in actuality a masterpiece. I mean, there are some nice colors and lighting to be found in there somewhere amongst the hideous hair-action and stupid hair-jokes, but I find it hard to swallow.
Sadness about the 'other things'. But i'm gonna be camping in the desert for the next 3 days, so oh well, the more to enjoy later.
Not 3-D, sadly. It is nothing but a way to spend $4 extra.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that was my short, stupid, non-screencapped review of Bolt. This will be my sexy, sleek, 3000 word Bolt reviewstravaganza.
