Get Smart Review
Today,I saw the movie Get Smart at my local cinema. Here is my review of the movie:
Get Smart starts out as the beginning of a day in Max Smart's life.The opening sequence was full of comedy,which warmed audiences up for what would come next.This was a smart "audience-grabber" idea by Warner Brothers Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures.
The film contains small snippets of allusions to the original television series of the same name as well.During the opening sequence of the TV Show,Max drives his classic red car through a building.In the film,this is done with the same car,but later in the movie. Also,the main characters catchphrase in the TV Show,"Missed It By That Much!", was used in the movie twice.
The films primary cast members are :
Steve Carell as Max Smart
Anne Hathaway as Agent 99
The Rock(Dwayne Johnson) as Agent 23
Alan Arkin as The Chief
My rating:
*****
5 out of 5 Stars!
So,go and see Get Smart.I really hope that you don't "miss it by that much." :)

Wall-E Review
Wall-E(or Wall.E as it has been advertised)is the latest film from Pixar/Disney Animation Studios.It was released on June 27,2008 in theaters everywhere.
Here is my review:
Wall.E was just like most other Pixar/Disney films.It started with an animated short before the movie and after the previews.The short was titled Presto!,and was one of the best Pixar shorts that I have seen.The idea was clever,the animation fluid and fast-paced,much like the film,Ratatouille,with the cooking sequences being very fast(like Remy the Rat was on steroids.)The plot of Presto! can be found out if you listen to my podcast on June 29,2008 to be released on YouTube and Mega Upload. :)
The beginning of Wall.E is a look over the Earth as a wasteland where robots who make cubes out of garbage(which are all called Wall.E)clean up.The world was taken over by BNL Incorporated,Buyin' Large.The company was a mega mall that turned into a multi-million dollar industries selling everything that you can imagine in your wildest dreams.But,one thing goes wrong,they build a space cruise ship!It's up to Wall.E to save the people and the world!
The writing and animation was good in the film.However,there was one thing that I didn't like about Wall.E. The beginning was immensely slow.The writers kept shoving it in your face that Wall.E was alone and lonely.That was one setback.Aside from that,the film was great. I give Wall.E:
****
4 out of 5 Stars
The film was an excellent one in my eyes and I'm sure it will be in your's as well when you see Wall.E to find out the rest of the plot.

'Get Smart' Gets Audience With $39.2M Debut
Audiences still get Maxwell Smart. Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway's "Get Smart," the Warner Bros. big screen update of the 1960s spy sitcom, raked in $39.2 million to debut as the No. 1 weekend movie, according to studio estimates Sunday.
But movie-goers did not get Mike Myers' "The Love Guru," the weekend's other new wide release. The Paramount Pictures comedy about a self-help mentor took in just $14 million to open at No. 4.
In limited release, "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" opened strongly with $222,697 in five theaters, averaging $44,539 a cinema, compared with $10,012 in 3,911 theaters for "Get Smart."
"Kit Kittredge," released by Picturehouse and based on the popular line of American Girl dolls, stars Abigail Breslin as a 9-year-old aspiring newspaper reporter during the Depression. The film expands into wide release July 2.
The weekend's No. 2 spot was a photo finish between DreamWorks Animation and Paramount's "Kung Fu Panda" and Universal's "The Incredible Hulk."
In its third weekend, "Kung Fu Panda" pulled in $21.7 million, raising its domestic total to $155.6 million. "The Incredible Hulk" was right behind with $21.6 million in its second weekend to lift its total to $96.5 million.
"Panda" and "Hulk" were close enough that their rankings could change when final numbers are released Monday.
Hollywood's summer surge continued, with total revenues climbing for the fourth straight weekend compared to last year. The top 12 movies took in $136.9 million, up nearly 10 percent from the same weekend in 2007, when Carell's "Evan Almighty" opened at No. 1 with $31.2 million.
The industry is on track to beat the revenue record set last summer, when receipts topped $4 billion for the first time.
"While the country may be suffering with a so-called recession, people are finding movies a fairly inexpensive way to get their entertainment," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "This proves the conventional wisdom that, during tough economic times, the movies flourish."
In "Get Smart," Carell re-creates the bumbling Max Smart character created by Don Adams, with Hathaway playing the capable Agent 99 as the duo try to stop a plot to arm unstable governments with nuclear bombs. Dwayne Johnson co-stars as a superstar spy colleague.
Critics picked apart the movie for emphasizing action over the crisp verbal comedy of the TV show, but Warner Bros. figures that was a wise commercial move. While 60 percent of the audience was 25 or older, that still meant a sizable younger crowd that was more keen on the movie's action, said Dan Fellman, the studio's head of distribution.
"We were very pleased to have 40 percent under 25, because they did not grow up on the television show," Fellman said. "The filmmakers did a great job in making that happen. They broadened the audience and brought it into a modern-day bent."
Myers _ who dreamed up the "Love Guru" character, co-wrote the script and was a producer on the movie _ has been accustomed to blockbuster openings with the three "Shrek" flicks and his two "Austin Powers" spy sequels.
"Mike Myers, the master of the spy spoof, opens his movie against a spy comedy, and the spy movie genre was obviously a lot more appealing to audiences," Dergarabedian said.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "Get Smart," $39.2 million.
2. "Kung Fu Panda," $21.7 million.
3. "The Incredible Hulk," $21.6 million.
4. "The Love Guru," $14 million.
5. "The Happening," $10 million.
6. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," $8.4 million.
7. "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," $7.2 million.
8. "Sex and the City," $6.5 million.
9. "Iron Man," $4 million.
10. "The Strangers," $1.9 million.

The Incredible Hulk Review
The Incredible Hulk, the latest Marvel Comics film, was a good film in my opinion. The acting was good. The story and screenplay stuck well to the original comic books. Now, I know that many people had doubts about this film considering the 2003 version. However, I assure you all that this film is beyond the bad scripting of the latter.
Edward Norton, the actor who took on the role of Bruce Banner/Hulk in the film, refused to do the film until the movie was done his way. I think that we owe it all to Edward Norton for making The Incredible Hulk such a great piece of cinema.
Lou Ferrigno, the body-builder who portrayed The Hulk in the original 1970’s television series, makes a cameo appearance as a security guard in the film while he also does the voice over work for The Hulk.
The film contains barely any profane vocabulary, but there is quite a bit of graphic violence that you may not want to expose your kids to.
My Rating:
*****
5/5 Stars
All of these factors make The Incredible Hulk the best ride that you will ever have during the summer.
Thank You!
