Review: Adventures of TinTin-All fun, no ulterior messages like in other cartoons.
A lot of my posts I’ve been about politics or the culture wars, not about Movies. Part of that is from the election, and part of that is due to time constraints in my life. It has not been the fun I thought I would have with the blog, so I do with great joy come out with a Movie Review. Out on DVD and on demand, is the Animated Feature, The Adventures of Tintin. I didn’t know much about the comic it was based on, but the trailer looked good, so I rented it.
This movie is an action-packed non-stop thrill ride that can’t keep your seat. The reason for that could be it’s produced by Peter Jackson (Lord of The Rings) and directed by Steven Spielberg. There are also no ulterior messages in the movies, like ‘big business is evil’ or ‘we have to stop the habitat of dancing penguins from being destroyed’ or whatever liberal nonsense the studios want to indoctrinate children this week.
The titular character is voiced by Jamie Bell (Billy Elliott, Jumper) with Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) and Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace) voicing the Parts of Captain Haddock and the villain Sakharine, respectively. Tin-Tin, his faithful dog, Snowy, and Haddock are on a race to find the clues to a treasure before the villain Sakrarine finds them. The movie’s comedy relief, the policemen Thompson and Thomson are voiced by team of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who are more than adequate, but only have a small role in the movie. If they have a sequel like the movie websites say, they should increase Pegg and Frost’s parts to showcase their humor.
The 3D animation is superior to other animated movies like Shrek, or Cars, especially in the action sequences. If you want a movie that is a wonderful escape for reality for an hour or two, and you don’t have to worry about your children being inundated with propaganda then The Adventures of Tintin is a safe bet.
I give a review of scrolls. This movie is not for small children due to some violence and drinking. Rated PG.
The past of this nation is riddled with numerous shifts in direction. Yet always,at its core is a willingness and drive to accomplish something greater than itself. From the left and right wing of our government great things have indeed been done. Despite this fact do not assume things are now as they have been in the past.
Once rugged individualism and an overwhelming compassionate nature divided us. A healthy balance. Something that represented the internal struggle in us all. A need to rely on ourselves for solutions and the helping hand we are compelled to lend to others. However this understandable distinction is not what divides us today. At present the difference between the two warring factions of our nation is drawn with two very different lines. We are faced now with a citizenry diametrically opposed at a very basic level. The conservative base of today finds itself standing…

For many of us the evening of that Tuesday felt like the beginning…of the end. This was not what we had hoped for, worked toward. Now we are faced with another election– this time we have a chance to undo what occurred in 2008. We have an opportunity to work against Obama and fight the failed policies he has enacted. But how? What is our strategy? Doubtless there will be many strategies, but one thing we must combat is the main stream media. This may be a tough assignment but for those of us who enjoy a challenge and a battle against the forces of evil it may be fun and another experience behind us.
Enter the Citizen Journalist. Andrew Breitbart has become a hero to many of us. His willingness to fight against what he believed to be wrong is inspiring. I may not agree with him on everything…
