Film 325/365, Day 344/365 – It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

It’s impossible not to get caught up with the Muppets.  This isn’t their best movie but is still entertaining with plenty of laughs, most notably in the night club in the alternative world with a beefed up Beaker!  Will have to try and go see the new movie when it comes out, 10th February 2012 in the UK.

Synopsis:  The Muppet theatre is under threat from a nasty banker who wishes to knock it down and put a high priced night club in its place.  The Muppets have until midnight on Christmas Eve to get the money to pay the rent or so they think!

Film 232/365, Day 247/365 – Toy Story 2


This will always be a fun film to watch.  Anyone that can sit there and say that they don’t like Toy Story is lying!  The idea that toys are alive and have adventures when you aren’t around is excellent.  The characters are brilliant and the new ones just add to the fun.  Guaranteed good time.

Synopsis:  There is a buzz of excitement in Andy’s bedroom, Woody is looking forward to going on Cowboy camp for some one on one time with Andy.  When a rescue attempt ends with Woody being stolen by a collector the rest of the gang go out into the open to try to rescue Woody.  But will he want to be rescued?

Film 79/365, Day 82/365 – School of Rock

School of Rock is hilarious and a little bit cute, but mostly hilarious.  Jack Black is excellent as the loveable loser Dewey Finn.  You can’t help but want him to succeed.  Obviously it’s not the most taxing of stories but it should keep you entertained all the way through, not to mention the rocking soundtrack.  It rock’s!

Synopsis: Wannabe rock star Dewey Finn is desperate for some cash, he’s just been kicked out of his band and now his room-mate is threatening to throw him out if he can’t pay his rent.  So when he answers the phone he pretends to be his room-mate so that he can accept a substitute teacher’s role at a private school.  Soon he is teaching the kids all about rock and roll…

Film 33/365, Day 36/365 – Toy Story 3

Woody and Buzz are back, but they aren’t being played with as much anymore. That’s because Andy is now going to college and the toys are becoming obsolete. In a desperate attempt to be played with the toys end up at Sunnyside day-care, what they hope will be the ultimate life for a toy, endless children to play with without the attachment. But things aren’t quite how they imagined.

This is the ultimate ending to one of the greatest trilogies of all time, animated or otherwise. Toy Story 3 is absolutely fantastic. There isn’t really that much more to say without gushing. The Spanish Buzz Lightyear was one of my personal highlights. If you liked Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (and why wouldn’t you?) then you must watch Toy Story 3. If you haven’t seen them… go… get out of here and watch them NOW!
