The Bucket List (Random Images)

Carter Chambers: Even now I cannot understand the measure of a life, but I can tell you this. I know that when he died, his eyes were closed and his heart was open. And I'm pretty sure he was happy with his final resting place, because he was buried on the mountain. And that was against the law.

Edward Cole: What does a snail have to do to reincarnate? Leave the perfect trail of slime?

Fantastic Mr. Fox - The Re(al) - view

Truly a Fantastic film! (excuse the pun) But this is certainly one of the best animated features ever made and I can't help but be angry at myself because it took me so long to see such a Fantastic film (again with the pun, it's unintentional).

Wes Anderson

I've been a fan of Wes Anderson's works, particularly The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Darjeeling Limited, there's always a uniqueness to his movies -- especially his style, which is always a pleasure to watch. The manner in which the story was told was beautiful (albeit an adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's book), as it felt like I was actually reading the book. The production for this film was top-notch!

Random Image (Mother's Day Special)

Today's random image is dedicated to the only movie which my mom and I can sit through, without her walking out. This is a movie I grew up with, watching it so many times with mom (and the rest of the family) was/is really a fantastic mother - son experience for me.

Happy Mother's day mom ;)

The Sound of Music

The Baroness: Somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun. Auf Wiedersehen, darling.

Baroness

Captain von Trapp: It's the dress. You'll have to put on another one before you meet the children.
Maria: But I don't have another one. When we entered the abbey our worldly clothes were given to the poor.
Captain von Trapp: What about this one?
Maria: The poor didn't want this one.

The Avengers (Loki)

Loki: You were made to be ruled. In the end, it'll be every man for himself.

Tony Stark: When they come, and they WILL come, they'll come for you.
Loki: I have an army.
Tony Stark: We have a Hulk.
Loki: I thought the beast had wandered off...

The Avengers (Bruce Banner - the Hulk & Thor)

Bruce Banner: In case you needed to kill me, but you can't I know I've tried. I got low, I didn't see an end so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out.

Security Guard: Are you an alien?
Bruce Banner: What?
Security Guard: From outer space, an alien.
Bruce Banner: No.
Security Guard: Well then son, you've got a condition.

The Avengers (Captain America - Steve Rogers)

Tony Stark: He was an idiot!
Steve Rogers: He was doing his job!
Tony Stark: For taking Loki alone, he was out of his league!
Steve Rogers: Is this the first time you've lost a soldier?
Tony Stark: We are not soldiers! I am not marching in Fury's fight!
Steve Rogers: Neither am I! He's got the same blood on his hands as Loki. Right now we've got to put that aside and get this done.

Natasha Romanoff: [discussing attacking Loki] But he's a god!
Steve Rogers: Ma'am, there's only one God, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't look like that.

The Avengers - The Re(al) - view

Nick Fury: There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people, so when we needed them, they could fight the battles that we never could...

A lot of super hero movies have come and gone since 2009's The Dark Knight, but unfortunately none have even come close till a super-dude named Whedon, Joss Whedon stepped up to direct a movie that brings four established super heroes (who each own their franchises), one bad-ass super sniper, a skilled spy, Nick Fury, Agent Phil Coulson as the super - suit! And Loki!!!

The action is overwhelming and super-awesome, but the interaction is genius as the screenplay brings the best out of all the characters' personalities, movies and then some. This was a movie that was aimed to be fun and it exceeded expectations.

I can hammer on the script, cinematography and special effects for the rest of this review but I'd rather concentrate on the characters as, in the words of Todd Jorgenson, The Avengers is the equivalent of a super hero all star game.
