Movie Review: Toy Story 3

After eleven years of waiting, and watching mixed to just plain good Disney Pixar movies, Pixar finally brings us a third instalment to the outstanding movie 'Toy Story' in 1995, and a sequel which was better than the original, 'Toy Story 2' in 1999, well right now, Toy Story 3 comes to us, and it's the best out of the three instalments.

Toy Story 3 is generally darker and more touching than the first two movies, and of course, that's because of the totally fresh idea that this movie brought us, the plot was great, especially because it's a huge idea unlike any other movie before, Toy Story maneged to make a prison brake type of movie that lead to more and more situations, and that's one thing that's entertaining about this movie, another main thing is the huge character development, every character had a good part, and also Toy Story brought us a great villain: a teddy bear that reminds me of a mob leader, and that's a but step up for this movie, a darker plot, with allot of character development.

The humor in the movie was also great, particularly the scene when Buzz's settings where changed to Spanish, that was hilarious.

But however, the movie's first ten minutes where not up to the movie's quality, the movie started as a boring movie, but they maneged to step it up, and make an almost-perfect movie.

At the end, i think everyone will be satisfied of how Strong and entertaining Toy Story still is, even for the teenagers(and yes, i am a teenager), the movie delivers strong fresh ideas that keeps the characters going, very few third installments can do that by the way, overall, the movie is almost-perfect, like 'Iron Man 2', the weak beginning blocked it from being perfect.

Album Review- Eminem- Relpase

Eminem's back after five years of no albums, he returned from his hiatus, but the only question left to ask here is: was that the way the people wanted Eminem to come back? I'd say no, Relapse was a decent album but not really up to Eminem's standards, here is why:

Relapse was a fun album in the first two weeks of it's release, but after that the album just gets plain boring, almost all the songs on Relapse all have similar beats, 99% of the time Eminem talked about drugs and murder in the album, all of that is great at the beginning, but then it gets very repetitive.

Relapse opened with a good skit 'Dr.West' which was not funny or anything like that, but it sort of sets he table for this album, the second track is '3AM', a generally solid track, not as good as i hoped it was honestly, the album's best track is probably 'Beautiful', an overall great track, strong, touching, and ratable, so unlike the rest of the alum, but there are a few other great tracks such as 'Hello' and 'Insane'.

The album's first single 'We Made You' was okay, it's mostly decent, but gets very annoying in some degree.

The album does not have any majorly negative tracks, but it has quite a few mediocre tracks, such as 'Medicine Ball', 'My Mom', 'Must be the Ganja', and 'Bagpipes From Baghdad' otherwise most the album is passable to decent.

Eminem did very little this time in trying to get guests and other producers for the album, all the tracks except for 'Beautiful' are produced by Dr. Dre, also there where only two guests, Dr.Dre and 50 Cent in 'Crack a Bottle', a mixed track to say the least, an just Dr.Dre in 'Old Time's Sake' one of the few great tracks in the album.

Overall, Relapse was not the way people wanted Eminem to come back, most of the songs are mixed and some are a bit boring, and also expected more from this album, especially because it's Eminem's 1st album since 2004.

Movie Review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' is the second instalment to the successful 'Transformers' movie, it was expected to be the best movie of 2009 i believe, it was also expected to be better than the first Transformers also, but where my expectations right? no, i was not, the movie was at most a mixed movie, and here is why:

As we all know, the Transformers are all robots, in the first two movies, they are divided to 'Autobots' and 'Disectacons', which is all right, but the problem starts when there is nothing in the movie except for the Autobots and disectacons fighting, and it gets even worse when there is no plot in the movie, now the reason why I'm saying this is because, one reason why the first 'Transformers' was great, is because it was not all fighting, and it had a plot, while 'Revenge of the Fallen' had a plot, but it played a very small role in the movie, and as for the fighting in the movie, it's fun at the beginning, but later in the movie the constant fighting gets boring.

Another obvious negative from this movie is Megen Fox's acting, don't get me wrong, she's hot, but i don't think she should be allowed on any set after this movie, and another thing, what's her character doing in the movie anyway? i mean, most of what she does in the movie is asking Sam 'say that you love me'.

In a movie like this, with many negatives and errors, it's hard to see positives, but luckily, i maneged to find some, the effects where cool, some of the acting is decent, and there is some humor in the movie as well.

We all expected the second Transformers to be good, am i right? and honestly i was not satisfied by this movie at all, instead of 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' bringing it's 'A' game like the first one, I'd say that it would fit more as a 'D' type of movie, due to the many flaws, but few positives.

Movie Review: Iron Man

As we all know, since 'Blade' came out, most Marvel adaptions have been great, but not as great as Iron Man, the possible best Marvel comic book adaption of all-time, it surpassed the quality of 'Spider-Man' and 'Spider-Man 2' the two former best Marvel adaptions of all-time.

Iron Man had everything, action, adventure, si-fi, and even some comedy, now tell me, what kind of comic book adaption maneges to succeed in more than one field, tell me, what kind of movie does that?

Iron Man also brought in a great story as well, it came straight up with how Tony Stark became Iron Man, and gave clear reasons why, and it also gave clear descriptions of the characters as well, something movies where not quite able to do very well.

The movie also had a great plot, great fight scenes, and great effects, also what i think is one reason of why the movie was great was because of the existing conflict between Tony Stark and Obidiah Stane, that had a huge effect on the final battle between Iron Man and the Iron Monger.

However, aside from this movie being strong and clever, the movie did have some boring scenes which i think had no point in the movie, but at least that did not play as a major error in the movie.

As for a general response to this movie, Iron Man is considered in my opinion very strong and positive, especially comparing to many comic books adapted to movies, the only one that stands by to be stronger than it is 'The Dark Knight' which was just a bit stronger than Iron Man.

Album Review: Lil Wayne- Rebirth

I know for a fact that Lil Wayne is not a failure, but you certainly will not know it by listening to Lil Wayne's latest flunk 'Rebirth', a boring, ear-bleeding album with very few moments of satisfactory.

Lil Wayne 'decided' to make a rock album with 'Rebirth', but can anyone tell me, is 'rock' a group of songs with autotune and allot of beats that sounds like a guitar? i think not, and obviously that's the first of many many errors that is placed on this dumb excuse for an album.

The album has a group of twelve tracks, starting with 'American Star' a lackluster to say the lease, and ending at 'The Price is Wrong' a very very boring and annoying track, the album has so many bad tracks, but none is as bad as 'the big 3' which are 'Prom Queen', 'Da Da Da', and 'On Fire' after these tracks, i don't know how Lil Wayne is still considered as an artist.

But unlike other bad albums, Rebirth has some exceptionally great tracks, such as Wayne's collaboration with Eminem in a track called 'Drop the World', Eminem completely stole the show with this track, and also 'Get a Life' was exceptional.

It's hard to believe that a good artist would go so low, and Wayne did that with Rebirth, a slow, boring, and stupid excuse of a rock album, if you ask for my advice i would tell you to stay away from an album as low and as bad as this, just download the two good tracks off I-Tunes, otherwise, don't even think about listening to anything else from this album.

Music Album Review: Eminem- Recovery

I listen to allot of Hip-Hop, especially allot of Eminem's music, I've list end to every album he ever released, from his first album 'Infinite' to the incredible 'Marshall Mathers LP' and 'The Eminem Show', to the mediocre 'Encore', then finally to the passable 'Relapse', and 'Recovery' brings us something new, something different from the murderous Slim Shady in 'The Slim Shady LP' and 'Relapse', also something diff rent from the angry and very serious Eminem in 'The Eminem Show', Recovery brings us a more calm, yet emotional Eminem, and that lead to excellent results.

Recovery is different from Eminem's other albums, but not so different that you won't know that it's Eminem rapping, Recovery just brings a different flow, or a different chapter to Eminem's music.

Out of the sixteen tracks on Recovery, all of them where great, and most of them where some of Eminem's best tracks, such as the highly emotional 'Going Through Changes' or the very touching track about Proof 'You're Never Over', '25 To Life' a track that Eminem compares his relationship with Hip-hop to a bad marriage, and of course, the very uplifting first single 'Not Afraid',

Bet Recovery was not all emotional tracks, there also other incredible tracks such as 'So Bad', 'Here We Go', or 'Cold Wind Blows' a few of my favorite on the album.

The worst on the album was also a great track, 'On Fire' it provided a good flow and rhythm, i think it's most comparable to some of Relapse's best tracks.

As for the album's collaborations, they where all with new people, Eminem did a track with Kobe in 'Talkin' to Myself', he collaborated with Pink in 'Won't Back Down' and he also collaborated with Rehanna in 'Love the Way you Lie' those tracks surprised me the most, the where all amazing.

Overall, Recovery was a great album, especially for a different turn in Eminem's music, he worked with different producers, and different artists in order to form the best Hip-Hop album ever created.

Movie Review: Iron Man 2

Iron Man 2, the sequel to the ultra-successful 'Iron Man' movie, had very high expectations to be one of the very few movies that are better than the original, and my question here is: did it do that?

I'd say the question to that question is unknown, it had a few features that where better than the first movie's features, and it also had some features that where not as good as the first movie's features.

Like all sequels, Iron Man 2 had multiple plots, as well as multiple villains, in most movies the multiple plots and villains idea does not work, but in Iron Man 2, they all worked well, but I'd say that my favorite plot is the idea that the heart piece that's keeping Tony alive, is also killing him, that plot had great potential, and lived up to it as well, another plot i liked was the villain's part of the movie, especially because the villains where Justin Hammer and Whiplash, i think that brought allot to the movie as well, other than that other great plots in the movie include Pepper becoming CEO of Stark Industries, and Rodey becoming war machine.

Most of those plots all shared one climax, which was the final battle between Iron Man, War Machine, and Whiplash, that was just a great battle, strong, entertaining, and also like all the movie, the effects where great.

But however, the movie was not all perfect, it may sound like it on this review, but it's not, the one thing that kept the movie away from being perfect is the begging, Iron Man 2 had a slow and boring start, thank god the rest of this movie was not boring or slow.

Overall, Iron Man 2 is one of my favorite comic book adaptions of all time, and as for a sequel, it's one of the very few to go on a very high level, I'd say it goes up to the level of 'Spider-Man 2' or 'The Dark Night', the best sequels I've ever seen, and Iron Man 2 is now one of them, but there is still one more question that i was not able to answer: was Iron Man 2 as good, or better, or not as good as Iron Man? what do you think?
