[REVIEW] Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)

via : wikipedia

Every success animation, comes a sequel

Synopsis: Dracula opens Hotel Transylvania for humans yet another conflict arises in that hotel. Mavis, Dracula’s daughter gave birth to a son named Dennis. Dennis did not show signs of being a vampire and makes dracula worry.

Overall, the story of the hotel transylvania not too good. Too much humor and making this film boring. This movie has repeated joke that is not funny anymore towards the end of the film. Too much slapstick comedy too. I prefer a minion compared this film

Adam Sandler as the voice of Dracula is able to make us laugh with his made-up European accent. The voice in the film is reminiscent of the movie Grown Ups. The film also stars Selena Gomez as the voice of Mavis.

Although the story in this film is not so good, it has very impressive animation techniques. Dennis looks so adorable. It looks like the market for this movie is only for children and less can be enjoyed for adults

[REVIEW] Space Jam (1996)

via: wikipedia

In the 90's, Michael Jordan is the hero we all because of his basketball ability are phenomenal. Everyone in the world knows who Michael Jordan.

Synopsis:

Bugs Bunny etc threatened by a group of aliens to become attractions in Moron Mountain on their planet. Bugs Bunny challenge them to play basketball. But the aliens steal the NBA player's capabilities and make their bodies to be much larger than the Looney Tunes characters. Bugs then need the help of Michael Jordan so that they can win the game.

For children, this film is extraordinary. In addition to Michael Jordan factor, of course, because of the uniqueness of the Looney Tunes characters, which until now still favored by adults. I myself watch this movie because he wanted to see the funny behavior Bugs Bunny and his friends.

Obviously the film look is a combination of 2D animation with live action. Although made in the 90's with limited animation, the film can still be enjoyed in today. The humor of the Looney Tunes characters seemed intended not for children.

Space Jam is a basketball themed grossing movie of all time. Not only the film but also merchandise and OST I believe I can fly sung by R.Kelly. Surprisingly acting athlete Michael Jordan's size is not bad. He still biased acting with cartoon characters.

Watching this film reminds us back to childhood

[REVIEW] Bed Time Stories (2008)

via : wikipedia

Once upon a time, before Adam Sandler starred in the failed movie, he has starred in family films that are quite nice and success at the Box Office

Synopsis:

Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler), a handyman at the hotel that was built by his father, but was taken over by a conglomerate. One day, he had to keep both his nephew and niece. In order his nephew and niece to be able to sleep, he read bedtime stories. However, it turns out bedtime stories that are told, become a reality.

The movie opens with a beautiful narrative like a Disney movie. Because this is a family movie, of course, the plot is very light and teaches the importance of a family. The film is very enjoyable if it watched from the child's perspective. Fantasy told that had been told pictured with many effects and colorful.

Adam Sandler is able to act as a nice uncle who cherished by his nephew and niece. Currently Adam Sandler often acting in the family comedy movie but with a dirty joke. This film has the minus side which are when the climax and problem solving. The climax are `too easy 'and` too forced'.

[REVIEW] Inside Out

via : wikipedia

Pixar made again the animated film that’s very touching after a successful Toy Story 3.

Synopsis:

Riley, an 11-year-old child who was cheerful and loves to play hockey. Her whole life is controlled by five emotions that Joy, Sad, Fear, Anger and Disgust. Their job is to keep Riley stay happy. One day, Riley and his family had to move to San Francisco and everything becomes different. In Riley's head, Sad and Joy lost in Riley’s thought and they must return to Headquarters so Riley can back into a cheerful girl.

Ok first, do not to be late to the cinema because there is a short film titled lava. This movie-themed musical and very nice. Stories and songs worked perfectly. Okay finished with a short film, let's move on to the Inside Out

Okay, seen from the graphic, Hollywood animator is currently compete to present a realistic animation and Inside Out has done it successfully. Pixar’s name no doubt considering they had made Toy Story, Up, Wall-E, Monsters Inc., etc. (See the trailer of Inside Out). Pixar animation always develop their animation technology.

 

Inside out has a story that is fresh and different. I think the theme of Inside Out is slightly less suitable for small children because the theme is about a child's mind to be a teenager along with the conflicts that she experienced. This story may be more understandable for children over 13 years.

Pixar as previous films, can make us laugh, tense and also cry. As I have said, I cried watching this film as same as when watching Toy Story. Damn you Pixar!

I predict that this film will win the Oscar for best animated movie but too bad this film does not have OST such as Let It Go from Frozen

[REVIEW] Paddington (2014)

fandango.com

Our favorite bear in childhood made into a movie by Hollywood. Of course the genre of this movie is children's films.

Synopsis:

After the earthquake that destroyed his woods, a small bear goes to England to find a new home. The bear was rescued by the Brown family and given the name Paddington. Paddington slowly began to adapt to human life, but Millicent (Nicole Kidman) wanted to hunt Paddington to be preserved and used as one of her collection.

Obviously this movie was made for children. The story of this film stresses the importance of family. However, adults can obviously enjoy this movie. Joke in the film is not far from the slapstick comedy. Many funny scenes that I think are too much.

Paddington bear is made with CGI effects. The effects are very good so it looks very real. All the emotions of the bear successfully captured. One of the strengths of this film is the cinematography which is very good. It is like reading a story book coupled with bright colors. The beauty of London is shown in this film.

The film is supported by the senior actor whose their skill are amazing such as Sally Hawkins, Hugh Bonneville and Nicole Kidman. Well although Nicole Kidman's acting a little bit too much.
