Now time for two movie reviews (with potential spoilers so be careful)

First up is Disney's A Christmas Carol. Let me first say right off that having the name "Disney" does not mean bring the youngins. There are truly some surprising moments that will startle you. So in my opinion, you should not take a child under the age of 10 to see this.
I doubt I need to tell the story of old Scrooge so I'll skip that and tell you more of how it looked. It looked awesome and I didn't even see it in 3-D. Flying through London (yes flying) is breathtaking. The detail of the city and it's inhabitants are so precise. And the scene of the small village that Scrooge grew up looks like a Thomas Kincaid picture. I doubt you will find too much to complain about here unless you get dizzy a little.
Now onto the depiction of the humans. If you are familiar with the movies "The Polar Express" and "Beowulf" you know the computer style filming that is used. "A Christmas Carol" improves greatly on the blank and soulless look the other films had. Scrooge comes to life and there are moments you forget it's computer animated. That's not to say all the characters are like this. Some of the characters do have that rubber faced look.
Now let me mention why you shouldn't take your really young kids to see this. Marley's Ghost is the most scary version of any I think I've seen before. There is a moment were his jaw breaks off and tongue flaps about. The Ghost of Christmas Present disintegrates into a skeleton and laughs the whole way through. There are other moments, but I think you understand.
Overall: 3 out of 5 stars

Now for 2012. You follow mostly John Cusack's character as he tries to save his family from the end of the world. I won't ruin the plot for you but will tell you that the movie touches on the cities of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and The Vatican. There are other sites like Yellowstone, China and Hawaii that you'll see.
The action scenes in this movie are not exactly scary but will leave you in awe. To be honest, I can only recall one moment were you see blood and it didn't really have to do with all the earth's destruction. Quite a few moments of cursing but at least you can understand why when they do it.
There is a mix of good science and bad science in the film. And what's funny is that one scene was toned down by Hollywood for the viewer to be able to wrap our minds around it. I'd suggest you wiki the Yellowstone Caldera before seeing the movie.
There weren't any what I would call "throwaway" characters in this film. Each had a purpose for the most part. I will say that if you are a tad emotional (like me) you will probably shed a tear or come close to it in places.
Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

And I hope you all have been enjoying my little stories of late. Just been in a mood to write, but if you are looking for some exclusive Autumn pics that I don't have. I'd suggest you run over to Autumn's DA page and see her latest: [link]

Lastly..it's my b-day and I'm older. That's all. Have a good weekend
