DPMovieReviewToyStory3 What is it about?

After being mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of Andy’s attic, the toys struggle to not only escape the center, but in finding a future and closing the chapter on their past with Andy.

Who is in it?

Tom Hanks – Woody
Tim Allen – Buzz Lightyear


Favorite Scene:


After being inside a recycle refinery, the toys hold hands thinking they will die together. However, the three aliens swoop them up with the trash claw and state (similar to the original), “The clawwwww”.

Favorite Quote:

Buzz Lightyear: “Spare me your lies, temptress! Your emperor's defeated, and I’m immune to your bewitching good looks.”

Review:

Toy Story 3 is an excellent film. There is no other way to put it. The last of the trilogy was amazing from it’s drama, comedy, humor, limitless creativity, and it’s ability to not only entertain, but wrap up a great series. The team behind Toy Story 3 should be well applauded for their efforts as all of the hype surrounding the film is well-deserved and more.

The plot in Toy Story 3 brought to life new characters and bid farewell to the usual gang with a plot that was super engaging. Not to mention, the insanely hilarious “Ken” character. The viewer will develop a bond with all of the characters throughout the movie, which is a true testament to an excellent writing crew.

This review can go on, and on, and on, about the the greatness of Toy Story 3. It is a definite must watch for everyone.

Grade: 4.5/5

Turning 40 - Grateful and Renewed

I became a forty-year-old individual yesterday.  The milestone is very significant for many and has its societal measures and benchmarks that carry some fear for those approaching its gates. Regardless of approach, turning 40 is filled with reflection, pondering (of course), and preparation for what should be a "new" stage of life. A life stage centered around "transitioning" into a stage seen as the "pre-senior" years.  Sure.

Yet, as I stated last year when I turned 39 (going into my 40th year on this earth), I was ready for it. Ready for 40. Today, oddly enough, I am not filled with profound life lessons, ponderings, or reflections.  I sit here, punching the keys, filled with gratitude. I am 40, and I love it.   I carry my baggage of life and bear scars from it at 40. I am grateful for so many experien...

Knicks Trauma - Ugh Not Again

Well, that was a kick in the stomach.  Coming off a week where the word "catharsis" was used as the description for the euphoria and release of joy from two and a half decades of suffering, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers brought about another word - trauma.  Watching the Knicks collapse was the kind of moments that come with these deep runs and moments. NBA Playoff basketball will do that. Yet, this loss - this one - feels about as bad as the 2004 ALCS when the Yankees collapsed in the series to the Boston Red Sox.  That one carries some serious trauma. Luckily, the series isn't over.  Some other quick thoughts from this awful, awful night, New York Knicks Basketball.  - Not to conjure up hyperbole, or even contribute to "hot take" sports reaction culture - but this might have been the worst loss in Knicks franchise history. I cannot think of another in my lifetime, or historically.  - Tyrese Haliburton's "choke"...
