Question: What do you get when you mix that crappy “rendered-animation” style, The Land Before Time, Steve Irwin, and a story line that is more tired than my grandma after running a 36 hour triathlon?
Answer: Ice Age 3…

If you are planning on going to this movie anyway, maybe to take your kids to it, then don’t forget to bring the wrist-ready-razor-blades for yourself! Don’t expect this movie to give you the ole’ Shrek style of adult humour that should be laid beneath the surface of every animated movie, for the adult folks to pick up on. Hit the jump for the full review of the latest trilogy that should have remained a not-trilogy…

If you know me, and you know my distaste for the way comedies seem be headed as of late… You’ll understand my poor review for The Hangover. I’ve tried writing a few things about this movie, but this movie was so un-intelligent that I can’t seem to write an intelligent review for it!

I’ve always felt that if a movie has plot holes, the writers can easily overcome most of them by just mentioning them… Like if you’re on a space ship that seems to have gravity then as long as a character makes mention of a “gravity generator”, its all good.

So for someone who still hasn’t seen the third terminator movie, I really dont feel like I’ve missed much! This movie picks up at the year 2018 after judgement day… and as long as you’ve seen the first 2 Terminator movies, I think you’de be fine with seeing this one. Right from the get go, this movie throws the viewer into the action of our post appocaliptic world. One scene near the beginning I was particularly fond of is when a helicopter crashes and the camera is inside looking out… With the volume of the theatre and surround sound it truely makes you feel like you could be there. However it wasn’t all good… the full review, including my rating, after the break
