Geekatana Review - Onward - Two Brothers Heartfelt DnD Adventure

Onward is a animated fantasy set in an modern urban setting.  The film was produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. The film is directed by Dan Scanlon, produced by Kori Rae for a screenplay written by Scanlon, Jason Headley and Keith Bunin. It stars the voices of Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer.  

I was having second thoughts about the film as the trailer didn't impress me as much as I wanted but decided to go see it anyways. One could say I had low expectations for this film going in. But I guess you never should judge a movie by its trailer and that goes double for this one.

Geekatana Movie Review: Toy Story 4

Toy Story didn't need a fourth film and I think a lot of folks would agree that all the three movies should be left alone as it is. No offense to Pixar and Disney but having a fourth film of Toy Story is pretty much milking the franchise already. Toy Story 1 to 3 was already the complete package. It started out strong, it had a great build up and it ended in a very fitting big finale very few movie trilogy can ever accomplished.

You could tell I have a lot of doubts for this film since this movie came out of nowhere and I doubt the fans was pushing for a fourth one. The trailer only made it worst since the trailer mirrors pretty much what the first Toy Story was almost beat by beat.

Geekatana Movie Review: Toy Story 3 (2010)

This will be my quick review of Toy Story 3. The last movie before I start my review of the fourth Toy Story film. This film come out back in 2010 and has constantly improved upon itself in small steps. It was Pixar and Disney's first attempt at a fully computer animated film back in 1995.

It's been over ten years since the second film and a lot of folks have all nearly given up on seeing another Toy Story movie to hit theaters. I'm sure a lot of folks are skeptical whether this third film will be as good as the two previous films before it.

Geekatana Movie Review: Toy Story 2 (1999)

Released four years after the original Toy Story the plot that was to be the sequel to the original 1995 film wasn't originally made to be a full animated motion picture and was supposed to be a direct to video sequel instead. The folks at Pixar and Disney however pushed for the plot to be turned into a movie so around thirty minutes of additional animated footage was added.

As most movie critics would tell you getting a movie sequel to work is very, very hard. Most movie sequels tend to fell short of the original and is often the downfall so the folks at Pixar and Disney must be really confident to push this one into movie form.

Geekatana Movie Review: Toy Story (1995)

Although Toy Story was released back in November 1995 it wasn't until 1996 of May did it saw released in the Philippines. With the fourth installment of the Toy Story franchise hitting theaters in a few days I've decided to freshen up on how it all started by reviewing every Toy Story movie that was ever released in theaters.

Created by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Toy Story was one of those animated features that are aimed towards kids and young adults but has enough on the nose content that adults and parents alike can relate to as well. Something both Pixar and Disney seem to have slowly mastered.

The Incredibles 2 Non Spoiler Review

The movie was packed when I went to see this film. First time I've seen a group of at most ten people going in together. I went to the theater early to reserve our seats but nearly all the seats are nearly taken that I had to settle for a movie seat near the top at the far back of the theater. There was a lot of hype riding on this movie. I've seen kids and adult of all ages line up to see this sequel film. A rare feat if you consider the first Incredibles movie came out nearly more than ten years ago. Since the movie just came out I'll be doing a none spoiler review for this one.

With the bar set high by the first Incredibles film I was kind of nervous going in to this film. Disney now owns Pixar and new management usually means new changes and most of the time changes are bad. Not to mention both the games based on the film the Incredibles for the X-Box and its supposed direct game sequel Rise of the Underminer for the PS were both really bad games.

The Incredibles (2004) Movie Review

Before I dive into my review of the Incredibles 2 I thought I'd do a quick review of the first Incredibles movie first.

Sure The Incredibles movie came out some ten plus years ago before the MCU was a thing and nearly about every person on the planet have heard or seen the movie already. I do feel doing a review of the previous film makes me appreciate or judge the new one better. If that's also your thing then read on.

Coco Movie Review

Coco is about a 12 year old boy named Miguel (voiced by Anthony Gonzales), born in a Mexican family that had banned music due to something that happened in the past, which was bad news for Miguel since he aspires to become a musician and become like his musical idol Ernesto de la Cruz (voiced by Benjamin Bratt). As if hiding his passion for music from his family was hard enough, Miguel due to some crazy circumstances suddenly found himself in the land of the dead where he met Hector (Gael Garcia Bernal) a trickster who joined him in his adventure of self discovery and learning the importance of family and chasing your dreams.

Coco is computer animated fantasy musical adventure film made by Pixar and released under Walt Disney Pictures and directed by Lee Unkrich and co-directed by Adrian Molina that features an all Latina cast. It nearly went under my radar. There's very little to no hype about it in the Philippines, and a story about a boy chasing his dreams isn't exactly something new when it comes to stories. A movie plot that happens during the Mexican holiday of Dia de Muerto or Day of the Dead isn't exactly exciting unless it's a horror-action flick or a zombie movie. The movie title itself is as plain as you can get but I couldn't be so glad that I was able to watch it.
