Race Against Time in "Ice Age: The Melt Down"

The sequel Ice Age: The Meltdown is a rousing and a good follow-up to the 2002 hit Ice Age. It features fun new characters, some great gags, and more antics by Scrat. However, some scary moments and profanity jokes make it more appropriate for older kids than younger ones. Unlike the original movie, Meltdown setting aside tedious heartwarming material and lectures on life, “Meltdown” charges full ahead with bright gags and snappy action, making for an unexpectedly satisfying sequel.

The sequel picks up in the midst of global warming when all of the animals of the Arctic valley are forced to leave before the ice turns into a huge body of water. The trio from the first film, Manny the Mammoth (Romano), Sid the Sloth (Leguizamo), and Diego the Tiger (Leary), find themselves in a virtual water park along with their fellow beasts. However, they soon come to the realization that disaster is looming. The ice dam that keeps their valley dry is melting and threatens to wipe them all out in a flood. (I guess it's a prehistoric New Orleans.) All of the creatures head towards the other end of the valley where they have heard that there is an ark, of sorts, that can save them from the flood.

Manny's situation is particularly unique in that everyone believes he's the last of his mammoth species. Manny may be ready to start a family, but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time. That is, until he miraculously finds Ellie, the only female mammoth left in the world. There's one little hitch – they can't stand each other and Ellie somehow thinks she's a possum! Accompanied by her two possum brothers Eddie and Crash, she refuses to believe that she's a mammoth but she joins our heroic trio for protection.

Meantime, Manny, Sid and Diego quickly learn that the warming climate has one major drawback: A huge glacial dam holding off oceans of water is about to break, threatening the entire valley. The only chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So our three heroes, along with Ellie, Crash and Eddie, form the most unlikely family in any "Age" as they embark on a mission across an ever-changing, increasingly dangerous landscape towards their salvation. Will they be wiped out or will there be an "Ice Age 3"? And how will Scrat inevitably save the day?

I enjoyed "Ice Age: The Meltdown" quite a bit. The film is wackier than its predecessor and features a lot less drama. This really increases the pacing of the story and allows more time for the characters to play up their strengths. While the characters from the original return true to form, a few new characters are added that fit in perfectly with the cast. Leading them is Queen Latifah as Ellie. She's funny and charming as a mammoth that thinks she's a possum. She hangs from trees and creeps around with amusing results. Accompanying her are Seann William Scott as Crash and Josh Peck as Eddie. They're kind of annoying at first, but they grow on you as the film progresses. They end up delivering some of the funnier moments of the movie.

"Ice Age: The Meltdown" has a number of great moments. Scrat returns to deliver most of them as he continues his never-ending quest for acorns. Scrat's physical comedy bits of him trying to secure acorns are some of the funniest of any animated film. Besides the antics of the possums, there's a surreal musical number where a group of vultures sing "Food, Glorious Food". It's so delightful you'll never think of the song in the same way again.

From the animation point of view, it's almost identical to its predecessor. There's little change in the characters or environments. However, they do some impressive tricks with matted, wet hair on Manny and hair floating underwater. Those pieces of animation were very well done.

Al in all, i can say that Ice Age: The Meltdown is more better than the original movie in almost all aspects. It offer us a complete movie experience as the suspense is raised with vultures, killer fish, and treacherous terrain, but there is also a sweet romance and laughs for moviegoers of all ages.

Join the Gang of You, Me and Dupree

You, Me and Dupree is a comedy film released on July 14, 2006. It is directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, written by Mike LeSieur, and produced by Mary Parent, Scott Stuber, and Owen Wilson.

In the last few years, Owen Wilson has climbed the Hollywood ladder, and finally found real success with Wedding Crashers. A well deserving role for him making that film a very funny one. Thanks for Owen for playing the straight man in that flick. With You, Me & Dupree, Wilson takes on the role of the buffoon named Dupree. The friend who never seemed to grow up, while Matt Dillon takes on the straight man role. Dupree is indeed funny. I laughed consistently throughout the movie. That, to me, is the most important part of a comedy.

The film revolves around Carl and Molly Peterson (Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson), newlyweds who's letting go of their single lives and learning what it means to be in a long-term relationship and all the compromises and sacrifices that can entail. But shortly after the wedding, Carl learns that his best man and best friend, Dupree (Wilson) has lost his job and apartment. He offers to let Dupree stay with him, and trouble ensues. At first, Carl is quite pleased to have his good buddy as a permanent couch guest, while Molly bears the brunt of Dupree's immature antics. But, as Carl becomes buried in his grown-up job, he finds it harder and harder to juggle Dupree and his responsibilities as a husband and soon begin to cause problems between Carl and Molly. To make matters worse, Dupree uses his ample spare time to become a great companion for Molly. Even her dad who is dedicated to breaking up the happy couple and the neighbors are falling for his carefree wisdom and charm--frustrating Carl to no end. Soon, everyone begins to root for Dupree to stick around. But as Dupree starts to become a fixture in the Peterson's home, three becomes not just a crowd--but a full blown, hilarious catastrophe.

Wilson does a great job as Dupree. He’s charming and funny, playing to his strengths throughout. Personally, I think he’s an actor that could do more, and should look to do something more. Regardless, he’s funny, and that’s the one thing that makes You, Me & Dupree worth watching. Matt Dillon is also funny, well suited in the role of the straight man. He’s proven clearly that his acting skills extend from drama to comedy quite effortlessly. Kate Hudson is, well, sexy. That’s pretty much all she does in this film. She’s pretty, and that’s what the role called for.

Overall the movie surely builds up some laughs, but in the end you’re better off sticking with some of Owen Wilson’s earlier laughs. And if you want Dillon laughs There’s Something About Mary is your better choice. If you’re a big fan of any of these stars, see this movie, otherwise, wait for the rental. But here's now you're lucky day because it's now you're chance to grab a DVD format of this very funny and hilarious film of You, Me and Dupree.. Just simple as visiting our DVD auction site at DVD.TV for more details on how to get it. Enjoy!

The Perfect Movie to “Click”

What if you could change your whole life with a hit of a button, what part of your life would you like to change?

Click is a 2006 comedy,drama and fantasy flick starring Adam Sandler, directed by Frank Coraci and written by Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe. Dozens of classic movies and books, including Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" and Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol," tell stories of wayward men who are forced to stand back and observe their own lives from the outside. In order for the protagonist to reevaluate how past decisions affect the past, present, and future, these supernatural tales all rely on a dramatic device, such as the introduction of a guardian angel. Click, the new Adam Sandler comedy, just uses a device: a remote control.

Click follows the misadventure of Michael Newman (Sandler), who works constantly for Ammer (David Hasselhoff) as an architect vying for a partnership. His workaholic ways come at a price — he often sleeps on the couch working late nights and spends very little time with his wife (Beckinsale) and two children. Then a stranger in the “Beyond” section of a Bed, Bath and Beyond gives him a special gift: technology's latests development, the universal remote control. One that can control the ceiling fan, the garage door, the TV, VCR, toy car and whatever else happens to be lying around the house. What Michael discovers is a remote control that can operate all those things - and his life too. He can mute the dog, fast forward through dinners with his parents, skip over arguments with his wife, pause his yelling boss to punch him in the face and do lots of other cool things that we all could only wish we could do in real life. Michael quickly falls in love with his new clicker, which seems to make his life easier, but things soon go horribly wrong as he gets hilarious complications when the remote starts to overrule his choices.

I had a great time watching Click, it probably has a few too many unbecoming jokes for some and is too sappy for others but I found myself laughing out loud more than once and even getting a bit teary-eyed at other times. The movie is blessed with a strong cast that includes Sandler, Beckinsale, the always delightful but sometimes overrated Christopher Walken and Sean Astin. The scenes involving Astin and Sandler are priceless, especially the whole angle with the speedo.

In the end, Click is a silly movie, there's no doubt about that. There's lots of jokes involving the remote control and it's magical powers. There's even more involving the dog and a big, stuffed yellow bird. Some of the jokes are repeated over and over and others are a bit off-colour but I found myself laughing out loud many times. Then there's the message at the end of the movie that is seemingly beat into our heads for a rather long period of time. It's an important, touching message that I am sure many people in the world should probably pay attention to.

This in now you're chance to grab a quality copy of this very funny and hilarious film by Adam Sandler, “Click” in DVD format. Just visit our DVD auction site at DVD.TV for more details. Enjoy!

Offered another hit in the big screen through his new movie “The Heartbreak Kid”. The cast includes a Cameron Diaz lookalike Malin Akerman and young new actress in Hollywood Michelle Monaghan, this film will fill you with almost two hours of *nonstop laughter and sheer enterntainment. This hilarious-comedy movie is a remake of Elaine May's 1972 comedy, originally written by Neil Simon. The Farrelly Brothers (Bobby and Peter), the directors, gave the film a new look and definetely a fun experience for those who watched this film.

But a series of misunderstandings leads to a wildly funny confrontation among a man, two women and a Portuguese man o' war as Eddie finds a way to escape from his days-old marriage without losing the girl of his dreams.

I noticed some of the contents and funny jokes scene in the movie seems somehow like in the movie “There's Something About Marry”,also a Ben Stiller's movie, that doesn't set any new standards in comedy movie.

The Unlucky Chuck : “Good Luck Chuck”

Funny and Nudity, are the two words that best describe this romantic comedy film directed by Mark Helfrich. The movie is based on the short story of Steve Glenn where the character Charlie (Dane Cook), who is not really called as "Chuck," except in the title, was cursed by an 11-year old goth girl during a 1985 game of spin-the-bottle party. He fights off her enthusiastic sexual assault so she issued a curse that “every woman he falls in love with will leave him and immediately find the man of her dreams.” From then, started the hilarious and misadventure packed movie.

Charlie grows up to become a dentist with an office next to his plastic-surgeon pal Stu(Dan Fogler). His best friend is still the short, chubby, curly-haired. Stu, obsessed by breasts, has grown up to become a cosmetic surgeon specializing in breast enlargements. When they attend the wedding of one of Chuck’s exes, he begins to realize that every girl he ever had a relationship with has found happiness with the next man she met. And then suddenly Charlie, who has been unlucky in love, fall head-over-heels for the accident-prone Cam (Jessica Alba), who works at a sea aquarium and loves penguins so much. Charlie love Cam so much but he recognizes the horrible truth: if he has sex with Cam, he will lose her forever. Even worse, the rumor spreads around the town about his curse but he still get a lot of dates and of course sex with the girls in town, but no true romance. Women only want him so they can find a life partner in whoever follows him into their lives. How will this paradox be resolved? Will Charlie finally find his true love?

“The Game Plan”

From pro-wrestling to a comedy movie setting, Dwayne Johnson also known as “The Rock” in his first comedy film entitled “The Game Plan” is currently hitting the big screen in more than 3100 theaters worldwide on its first week of release. It is still reigning in the number one spot in movie ranking (just behind is the movie “The Kingdom” at the number two slot) since it was first release last September 28th, 2007 worldwide with a current gross of $22,675,000 considering it is just its first week of releasing the film.

The story of this film is about a Quarterback of the football team “ The Rebels” named Joe Kingman, the most valuable player of the team and one of the toughest player to ever take the field. Blessed with amazing strength and agility, he is famous for being able to handle any hit, no matter how ferocious the enemy was. Joe has been living the life of an ultimate bachelor fantasy, he's cool, rich, famous and the life of every party--and there are a lots, lots of parties. The team of Joe is chasing for their long-awaited championship cup with their long rivalry team and then the twist of the movie come. His dream is suddenly sacked for a loss when he discovers that Peyton, the 8-year-old daughter that he never knew existed from his ex-girl friend after she dies, on his doorstep. Now, just as his career is soaring, Joe must learn to juggle his old lifestyle of parties, practices and dates with supermodels while tackling the new challenges of ballet, bedtime stories and baby dolls--all without fumbling. Very funny isn't it? Imagine the ferocious “The Rock” doing baby sitting in his daughter. Equally perplexed is his hard-edged mega-agent, Stella Peck, herself without a parental bone in her body. But, as the championship grows nearer, Joe is about to realize that the game that truly matters has nothing to do with money, endorsements or even touchdowns--it's all about the really tough stuff: patience, teamwork, selflessness and winning the heart of the one little fan who turns out to count the most. That's so sweet for a man like Joe.

All-in-all, I recommend this movie for everyone। There is no profanity or crude jokes, so children of any age could watch this. There is football and girlie aspects so young to teens, boys and girls would enjoy this movie. The story is cool yet cute and funny with light drama in the end so never to miss this movie to watch. MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) rate this film as “PG” for some mild thematic elements. It will last for one hour and fifty minutes of laughing experienced with the cast, so do not forget to bring popcorn!.
