Mega-mediocre

It is no secret DreamWorks Animation's films are like the discarded younger brother who is locked in the attic and fed fish heads, while Pixar is downstairs getting pats on the back from mum and dad. That may be a long-winded analogy, but when you compare their body of work it is fitting. While Pixar have redefined cinematic and box office expectations with films like The Incredibles, Toy Story, Wall E and Up, DreamWorks Animation have teetered between successes like Shrek and How To Train Your Dragon, and failures Flushed Away and Over The Hedge. Megamind falls somewhere in between – it’s so-so, not spectacular.

Megamind (Will Ferrell) is a super-intelligent, Avatar-esque alien who is sent to Earth as a baby by his parents along with another alien being who eventually becomes a superhero known as Metro Man (Brad Pitt). Megamind discovers the only thing he is good at is being bad and he becomes a supervillain. After years of battling each other in Metro City, it seems Megamind has finally defeated Metro Man when his charred skeleton is all that remains from one of his wicked plans. But ruling a city without a hero is rather pointless for Megamind and his identity crisis leads to a romantic interest in reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey), who is unaware of his true identity.The film packs some impressive visuals and although there is nothing to fault technically, all of the DreamWorks Animation characters seem to have the same basic outlines and mannerisms and Megamind is no different. It is an artist flaw that they fail to differ film to film, unlike the works of Disney productions or Henry Selick creations. The lovable supervillain shtick is also nothing new, thanks to the recent anti-hero spin in Despicable Me.

But the impressive voice cast do bring something enjoyable to their roles and Will Ferrell's signature one-liners transfer nicely on screen. Most of the laughs come from the David Cross voiced Minion, but Jonah Hill's Titan is also amusing. Unfortunately that is not enough to make up for the feeling we have been here before. From the predicable plot to sentimental moments, Megamind is an okay, not great, addition to the swag of animated films seeking to please both adults and kids.

Megamind is out next Thursday, December 9.

Brad Pitt is a Basterd

Who doesn't love Quentin Tarantino? I mean, besides the church that is. And cenorship boards. Besides those two everyone else is going ape shit over the trailer for his latest venture Inglorious Basterds starring Brad Pitt. Set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, Inglorious Basterds is about a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as `The Basterds' who are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. Sounds very Tarantino-esque and no doubt war is certainly going to look different from his point of view. Featuring a stellar supporting cast the film looks interesting, to say the least. Watch Inglorious Basterds trailer here.

Wrestle this

There are few films I have been more anxious to see in recent months than The Wrestler. I have heard great things from pretty much every critical corner and Mickey Rourke is being touted as a major Oscar contender for this role. Director Darren Aronofsky is getting all sorts of praise which is looking good for boosting the buzz around The Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg and Brad Pitt which he is also directing. But this film is all about Mickey, Mickey, Mickey. Rourke plays Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson who, after being forced to retire from the minor wrestling league due to a heart condition, finds himself sad and alone. Rourke plays a role that is as suited to him as Tony Stark aka Ironman was for Robert Downey Jr. Described as a washed up piece of meat trying to find his way back to human, the character of Ram is executed to perfection by Rourke in a standout performance. Credit also needs to be given to the two fine supporting actors Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood who this film would be nothing without. The Wrestler isn’t shot in some avant-garde fashion like recent critical smash Hunger (blah), instead Aronofsky uses a hand held camera for majority of movie. He makes you feel like you’re part of Ram’s life, following him through his highs and lows. To combat this simpler style of camera work Aronofsky also uses several other beautiful techniques which truly cement his position as a skilled director. Personally I found the wrestling scenes difficult to watch but undoubtedly they’re choreographed very well and executed to perfection by Rourke and the many other wrestlers starring in the film.
My consensus? I loved it. I especially loved how Aronofsky didn’t overdo anything and instead let the story and superb performances take the audience on a sad, touching and truly magnificent journey. Every glowing review this movie has had, it deserves. Like the title character, The Wrestler is raw and confronting but if you can get yourself along to see this you won’t regret it. The Wrestler opens this Thursday, January 15 at most main stream and art house cinemas so be sure to get in early.

It's what all the cool kids are doing . . .

It seems all the cool kids these days are starting up their own production companies. Leonardo Dicaprio, Reese Witherspoon, Adam Sandler, Natalie Portman, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst are just a few of the A-list celebs who have been using their hard earned millions to start up production companies. Personally I think it’s great to see these guys put something back in to the industry which they have got so much from. So I've decided to do a series on some of the companies out there as there's simply too much content for one post. There will be a new production company featured each day with a run down on the motivations behind their start ups and a complete filmography. To start of the series who better than Mr Chiseled Abs himself, Brad Pitt and his baby Plan B Entertainment.

Plan B Entertainment

Run down:
Talk about awkward . . . Brad Pitt and then wifey Jennifer Aniston founded this production company along with the CEO of Paramount Brad Grey. The company has had some pretty major hits considering its short history. Aniston withdrew from the company when she divorced Pitt and he started having babies with another, hotter woman. Like most of these companies they tend to produce films in which the actor stars. Plan B currently has a deal with Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros and 20^th Century Fox.
