Dome Pondering Movie Review: Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

What is it about? 

A usual video game villain sets out to attempt to earn a medal to validate him as a "good guy", but eventually brings havoc to the entire arcade where he lives.

Who is in it? 

John C. Reilly - Ralph

Sarah Silverman - Vanellope

Jack MacBreyer - Felix

Favorite Scene: 

After breaking into the create-a-kart factory, both Vanellope and Ralph go through the game of making a go kart for Vanellope. 

Favorite Quote:


Vanellope von Schweetz: What's your name?
Wreck-It Ralph: Ralph, Wreck-It Ralph.
Vanellope von Schweetz: Why are your hands so freakishly big?
Wreck-It Ralph: I don't know. Why are you so freakishly annoying?

Review: 

Why are animated movies so much well put together than those with real actors? Whatever the reason may be, Wreck-It Ralph is another awesome movie from Disney. If you are a fan of animated movies, as well as a fan of video games, you will surely love this film. 

Wreck-It Ralph is the Toy Story of videogames bringing the world of arcades, video game characters, and the quirks that come with videogames to life. With characters coming to life after the arcade closes, it's a nice touch that sets up unique dynamic for the film. From pacman, Zangief, Bowser, and others, its nice to see how they are used in the film. Also, the motion advertisement of Sonci the Hedgehog in "Game Central Station" was another  unique concept. 

Besides the usual cute humor, and the great storytelling, as always, Wreck-It Ralph offered a great message in the difference of being a good and bad guy. 

All in all, another well recommended movie. 

Grade: 3.5/5

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

DP Review of the Alternate Knicks Orange Jersey

One of the good aspects about having a blog and being truthful and honest about it, is the hindsight thought process it provides. DP devotees already know how much I love my New York Knicks, and how excited I was about their new jerseys last year. It was a new look that was desperately needed ( DP Review On Knicks New Uniforms ).  In reviewing those jerseys last year, I had the following comments in regards to then-rumors regarding the addition of an alternative orange jersey for the Knicks and overall NBA changes to the Christmas Day special jerseys:  "As long as we do not add an "alternative jersey" (I read rumors of an orange one - woof!) (and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"
