Happy Feet (Theater)

What it's about: The story of Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood) a penguin born with happy feet instead of a signing voice, which he needs to find his soul mate.

What I thought of it: We had been waiting to see it for a long time, and it was soooooo worth it! The soundtrack is really good, the fur rendition is amazing and the story is interesting. It touches upon topics of current events such as polution, environmental issues, commercial fishing. Despite its cutenest, it is not really a film for young kids - there are a few scenes that are scary. Robin Williams is once again, stealing the show.

My favorite scene/quote:

Ramón (voiced by Robin): [in response to Mumble's horrible singing] Yeah, I heard an animal once do that, but then they rolled him over and he was dead.


If you have a chance, go see it - it is worth it!
That's one movie that we will get on DVD once it comes out.

Supernatural - Season One - 32 episodes (DVD)

What it's about: After the mysterious disappearance of their father, two brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) seek out and combat paranormal and supernatural events to figure the meaning linking their mother's death whom was killed years earlier by a malevolent poltergeist. (IMDb's)

What I thought of it: I had seen some episodes here and there, and since I enjoyed the two main characters (Jensen used to play in "Days of Our Lives" and Jared in "The Gilmore Girls" among other things), cute guys and the story line, a bit like the X-Files.

My favorite scene/quote: Too many to mention. Lots of fraternal teasing that makes it intersting and funny.


Worth watching, especially if you enjoy "supernatural" things!

Cars (DVD)

What it's about: On its way to a big race in California, the cocky McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) gets lost in Radiator Springs, where he finds the true meaning of friendship and family.

What I thought of it: Hubby wanted to see it and I actually enjoyed it. It was interesting to see how they anthropomorphised the cars. I was surprised to see that it was actually Paul Newman's doing the voice of Doc Hudson, the old car.

My favorite scene/quote:

When two cars, a couple, get lost in Radiator Springs: [to lost husband]
Minny: Oh, for the love of Chrysler! Can we please ask someone for directions?
Van: [deranged] No, there's an on-ramp close, I can feel it.

A cute rental...
