The Pirates! Band of Misfits - The Re(al) - view

Black Bellamy: You want to be Pirate of the Year? Do they just give it to the guy with the fattest parrot?
Pirate Captain: She's not fat, she's just big-boned!
Black Bellamy: She's fat, dude!
[the Dodo vomits on Bellamy]
Black Bellamy: Dude, come on! 
Also known as The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists.


It's fun, pacy, exciting, funny, featuring a quirky captain named - Pirate Captain (yep! last name Captain), a crew of amateur pirates, a Pirate of the Year competition, a secret society with a twisted hobby, Charles Darwin (who is, well, nuts) and a Dodo bird named Polly!!! 

While stop motion may not look glamorous or refined and termed old school, when it comes to Aardman Animations, who brought classics like Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit and Arthur Christmas, you can expect the best. The tweaked Pirates!, compared to their previous projects, a bit by injecting a whole lot of humor blended with intelligent quirks. A gag-fest. The animation is detailed as expected (c'mon it's Aardman!), especially Pirate Captain's luxuriant beard - which was begging to be touched.

The Ten Commandments (Random Images)


Moses: I'll not leave a man to die in the mud.
Slave: Thank you, my son... but death is better than bondage, for my days are ended and my prayer unanswered.
Moses: What prayer, old man?
Slave: That before death closed my eyes, I might behold the deliverer who will lead all men to freedom.
Moses: What deliverer could break the power of Pharaoh?
Egyptian guard: You!

Sethi: Let the name of Moses be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of Egypt. Let the name of Moses be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

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.

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!
