Hidden away, then Brought Back to Life.

The Film that smashed box office in 2010. Yes this is Toy Story 3. Featuring characters from The Toy gang Woody, Buzz Light Year, Mr & Mrs Potato, Rex etc. Then you have your new characters, Ken, Buttercup, Lotso. Although are they all new characters.
Pixar is known for adding little film 'Easter Eggs' into their films featuring characters in which the film they Star in haven't even been released.
This said check out this screen shot from UP released in 2009.

As it clearly shows Lotso first feature film wasn't Toy Story 3 but UP as you can see very closely at this picture. This then said, what other films has Disney Pixar put in to their films. Well if you want to know. Look very closely at the Disney Pixar films and you might pick something up.

Merchandise Overload

Since the film Toy story 3 has come out all I have seen is all different types of Toy Story Merchandise. Action Figures, Learning toys for children based on Toy Story, costumes even character torches. But apart from all the spin off stuff like the torches I have wanted some of the merchandise, more specifically the collectors editions of Woody and Buzz (in his original spaceship packaging and both with collectors certificates) and also the Aliens (yes they are soft toy but I don't care).

All of this stuff I do confess I did see in the Disney shop resulting in me actually going into the Disney shop which I don't mind. But as Disney are trying to create and ship off all this new merchandise there must be a problem which will creep up somewhere and as I saw, there was. While looking at the huge, changing selection of Toy Story toys (every time I go into the Disney shop there is some new Toy Story toy which wasn't there before), I did come across a merchandise mistake. Take a look at the photo below.

1. If you can spot the mistake then well done

2. If you can't spot the mistake and have seen the film, get a new pair of eyes.

3. If you can't spot the mistake and haven't seen the film yet (but who hasn't), then whatever time it is now to you, go out now and see it in the cinema.

The mistake if you haven't spotted it is that on the packaging it say Toy Story 3 when in fact RC Car wasn't even in the 3rd film alone with other characters like Bo Peep and Wheezy.

Advice for Disney, recheck your products before shipping and make sure you have staff and designers with common sense.

A Real Toy Story

Ok it has taken me a while to do this blog post on Toy Story 3 actually a while to do a blog post at all. Let me start by saying that it is really great and sure did live up to Toy Story standard (if you know what that is). Although there were a few different things to the whole film.

In every Disney Film the is a dark, scary scene for the younger audience, though in his film there was defiantly more than one dark and scary scene. There was a big change during the film into the dark side. It was a bit of surprise with the dark side that it did take, but some of these dark sides did come out really funny.

The other different part of the film that it was very emotional film. It focused on the theme of growing up, basing it all around andy growing up and moving on going to college. Though the growing up was more about the film. Through my child hood I have grown up with Toy Story but now to know that the last film has been made, it is the end of an ere. But to also know of a first hand what it will be like when I go to college and the feelings that I could possibly feel just had a turn on me.

My mum one day called me in to watch Loose Women and they were talking about Toy Story and that some men cried at the end. I think men crying at a film is some what ok depending on the film but Toy Story is one which men shouldn't cry but it does brake that rule due to the emotional side. I personal shed a tear, just at the situation picturing myself in Andy's potion.

A Coner rating for Toy Story 3 is
9/10 just because after seeing it two times it does get a bit predictable.

A new Toy Story

On Saturday, I went to see Toy Story 2 3D in the cinema. A bit disappointed with the 3D but defiantly not disappointed with the film in the whole. The last time I saw Toy Story 2 most likely in 2001 when I was 7.

Well getting older everyone gets wiser and learns new things and learning these new things you can put them into content. Watching Toy Story 2 I understood a lot more than I did when I was younger and this resulted in a lot of laughter. Watching it really felt like it was a new Toy Story.

And then talking to may friends today about Toy Story, the brought up a very good point. Due to release June 18th Toy Story 3, they were afraid to go and see it because we are teenagers and not kids, my one friend said

'Most of the audience who will go and see

Toy Story 3 would be around our age as we

were brought up watching it.'

Although, even if all of the people watching the film were kids (hopefully quite), I would still go. it Toy Story, no one should turn down Toy Story.

As a treat hear is a Trailer of the new Toy Story and some of the plot. Enjoy the very sad, happy, funny and exciting Trailer of Toy Story. A very very must see in Cinema this summer.

Up Up to a Retreat

Recently I have seen a couple of films and if you can't guess by the title, I saw 'Couples Retreat' and also Disney Pixars 'Up'. Now these two films are obviously and completely different and have no similarities.

Disney Pixar's Up

The film Up was amazing, although it is still puzzling me that Pixar and Disney announced that they were stopping making films together after Wall.E but this must have not happened which I am really glad at as 'Up' I think is a possible contender to Toy Story. The very creative thinking about the whole of the movie, a POINT............ House being lifted up by thousands of balloons could never happen, but I guess anything can happen in movies. Now I am going to admit it but I did shed a tear at the beginning which was very good and very technical by Pixar to engage the audience to watch the film right from the start of the film and at the end (Secret). The characters in it were amazing, they SQUIRREL.................. made the move even better. Russell (The Scout), Mr Fredrickson (The old man), Dug (the dog) and Kevin (The Bird). And in the film very creepy the character Mr Fredrickson when the was younger looked like my friend (I now have a real good picture of what he will look like when he is older) and Russell My other friend. A real well deserved rating for it's mixed of comedy, adventure, sadness with very very funny moments throughout the film all tied up to make it brilliant, POINT.......................... Not telling you any more so I don't give anything away.

A Coner Rating of 10/10

Go an see as soon as possible

Couple Retreat

Now even though I did just say about 'Up' that is was really funny film,That was a really funny ANIMATION film, this is the most funniest film I have ever seen. With a great cast of Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Faizon Love and Kirsten Bell made it brilliantly funny. This movies see four couples go on a vacation and doesn't turn out how they were told that it was. The featured things in the film like Guitar Hero as Vince Vaughn or Dave in the film is a games designer and created the game Guitar Hero. Now the film shows what any person acts like when they are playing Guitar Hero alone in a room (and if you see the film and don't agree with what I have just said then comment but I know that you are in total denial). And also stereotypical groups of couples and certain people come across how you imagine them. These things plus many many more were created really well.

The very funny and hilarious film is pain killing from the laughter.

A Coner Rating of 9/10 (only because some of the jokes I didn't really get)

I say go on a day which you feel quite down as this will really cheer you up.

The G.I.Joes Review

Yesterday I went to see the CGI G.I.Joe and all I can say is that I was stunned by what I was

watching. I have to admit that I went into the cinema going to see it not expecting it to be that good. Well what I can say is that I felt that way about the Transformer film. THINK ABOUT IT (if you are a fan of Transformers).

The first thing when I was watching it is that I thought 'OK now which one is G.I.Joe.' Thankfully I was relieved to know that G.I.Joe (or the Joe's) was a name of the group. My thoughts the film are that I think the CGI animation in the film was outstanding. But I do have to say I am defiantly a person who really like the Bangs and Booms of explosions of a film and this is defiantly one which has all that in it.

Also the film was really taking a risk by putting in comedy moments quite a few times in the film which I think with how serious they took it I would have been a risk.Although they defiantly pulled it off and also a feature which made the film, and I think I can speak for the other 10 people in the cinema that they also found it funny hearing them laugh.

What they done which was very good that a film with Lots and Lots of explosions in would have an engaging storyline, and here at this moment I am comparing it to Transformers 2 which I think even though I love the Transformers, G.I.Joe did come out on top just because of the gripping sections which make me come forward off my seat a lot. I think it comes out on top as I didn't think it would be that good and I was blown away more by the fact how good it was.

In conclusion, these writers know who to make things better than people expect both in transformers and defiantly in G.I.Joe, I seriously want there to be a sequel.

Coner rating:

G.I.Joe - 9/10, only because the ending of what they did could have been show instead of cut to, Boring. If you have seen it, you would know what I

mean.

And for your pleasure:

Transformers 2 - 8/10 as it was really good but was missing something vital to

make it the same or even better than the first Transformers

film.

Yes, really, No

One of the things I wish that life could be is a V+ Box or Sky+. That you can rewind and pause real life. Here's a question, have you ever had someone you know see something interesting while they are there with you like a funny looking Dog on the street and say did you see that and you answer yes and really you didn't

This happens to me all the time and it annoys me in so many ways; that I didn't see what happened, that the opportunity would most likely never come round again and that I cannot share that funny moment. Althrough when you picture what you didn't see in your head it could be funnier than if you see.

Thats also the same when someone again says that have you seen that film and then tell you funny part in it. When you picture it in your head it is really funny and when you do see the film you get really disapointed that you. My advice is don't let anyone tell you about a film you haven't seen or you are more likely to get disapointed that it's not like what you thought.

Recenly Seen By ME

What Happens in Vegas.

This film is pretty old but when you see a DVD in a shop which you have wanted to see which is a fiver, well not many people can't resists a bargain. Well this film is a out loud comedy staring Cameron Diaz and Ashton kutcher. Set in Sin City Vegas. This romantic comedy is a good film, although the director Tom Vaughan coming up with the idea of putting the most unlikely to be celebrity couples together and make a film about them being together. When you get used to the idea, it just becomes more funny. A great film for the teenagers and adults.

Coner's rating 8/10. Well worth seeing

Night at the Museum 2

When a film company brings out a sequel to a film, most people say that they they won't be able to live up to the first film (even if the first film was bad) although watching his close to it's release date not many people were in the screening. I have to say that Night at the Museum 2 was better. Much more goes on in the film than the first one and new artwork comes in. If you want to know what things, GO AND SEE IT. As well as some POP art.

Ben Stiller side kick in the sequel is Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart to save the day (or night) once again. If you go and see look out for a scene near the end Kah Mun Rah, best scene in the film. It's worth it to just see that part.

Coner's rating 10/10. Watch even though it is a sequel which you disagree (you know who you are).

Be Supprised!

Every time I see it, it seems even more better. Star Trek is a latest film out in the cinema and I predict that the film will be as supprising as Transformers when that film came out in summer 2007 (seems like yesterday). 

You have the people who liked transformers the series and those who didn't watch a single one and yet both of the groups went to see it and everyone who went to see the film thought it was good. This WILL be the same as Transformers if people actually see trailers for the film. 

Star Trek isn't really a must see film because it will be good, its a must see film to see what it will be like. Just to say these two things are totally different from each other.
