Family Guy: Blue Harvest (2007)
About Family Guy
Hi, I wanted to comment on the season premiere of the Family Guy. Wow, what an episode. Not to give too much away, any fan of the show will love this episode. I thought the animation was first rate. It reminded me of the animation of the Simpsons movie. Some scenes were pretty much third dimensional. I liked the shots of the planets and of the spaceships. Also, it was a pretty accurate take off of the first Star Wars movie, which I saw as a kid. I was wondering who going to play Obi Wan Kenobi and I was right on my guess, the old man pervert, and Stewie as Darth Vader was hilarious too. I did notice that Meg wasn't involved though. Also, I liked the Robot Chicken conversation at the end, with Chris and Peter arguing about it. That's an in joke, because Seth Green is a creator of Robot Chicken and he is the voice of Chris. I would say that was Family Guy at it's best last night. There are so many bad shows on TV nowadays, it's great to see there is some good shows left that actually believe in good and creative writing and film-making. I am so glad that shows like Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park are still around. They are a ray of hope in a vast wasteland of mediocrity, bad acting and writing. God, Simpsons has been on for 18 years and I still get laughs out of it.
The Simpsons Movie (2007)
About Simpsons movie
I just saw the movie and after years of waiting for a movie based on one of my favorite shows, I was eagerly exited about finally seeing it. I don't often see a movie on the first day, but not only did I see it on the first day. I was 4th in line at the very first showing at this Toronto theatre. Well, after waiting about 15 years, I finally saw it and let me tell you, it was definitely worth the wait. I would have to compare this film to the best cartoon movies of all time. The last really good cartoon movie was South Park, but the animation isn't quite as good as the Simpsons. I compare this more to Roger Rabbit, which had great animation, a great story and humor too. Not only do they parody not only their own show, but other cartoons like Disney, which I have never been much of a fan of. This is a movie that has to be seen on a big screen, not on a DVD or TV. The animation is almost 3 dimensional in some scenes and I have to admit, the look is a little different from the regular show. The movie has a bit of a different look. Fans of the show will notice this. The movie moves quickly and there are lots laughs and entertainment from the very beginning to the very end. Do not leave this movie until the curtain is closed. This movie is a masterpiece and if there is another one, I'll surely be there. I am fortunate to live in a time to witness this event. I really call this movie an event. It's not just a movie.
