Movie Night: The Powerpuff Girls Movie.


Review #417: The Powerpuff Girls Movie.

Cast
Cathy Cavadini (Blossom), Tara Strong (Bubbles), E.G. Daily (Buttercup), Roger L. Jackson (Mojo Jojo), Tom Kane (Professor Utonium), Tom Kenny (Mayor, Narrator, Li'l Arturo, Snake, Cha-Ching Cha-Ching, and Mitch Mitchelson), Jennifer Hale (Ms. Keane), Jennifer Martin (Sarah Bellum), and Jeff Bennett (Ace, Big Billy, Grubber, Baboon Kaboom, Go-Go Patrol, and Hacha Chacha) Directed by Craig McCracken.

Review
The Powerpuff Girls was admittedly a show that most people born around the 90's/2000's do remember (Unless of course there's a certain type of people who don't have the cable television to watch the show until much, much later), and the show even had its own film, with the original cast and everything. The film doesn't depend on people to watch the show because this film just so happens to be a prequel to the series. The actors and actresses from the show all reprise their roles for the film, which is a good thing. The film doesn't last too long at only 70 minutes, but this film at least makes a case for even needing to exist, and while it may have violence that could be debatable for criticism, there is effort made into making this, and the animation looks good, an improvement from the show, and that makes sense being on the big screen and all. It's a decent film that has its moments, for the most part.

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.

Movie Night: Looney Tunes: Back in Action.


Review #007: Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Cast
Brendan Fraser (D.J. Drake), Jenna Elfman (Kate Houghton), Steve Martin (Mr. Chairman), Joe Alaskey (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Beaky Buzzard, Mama Bear), Jeff Bennett (Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Nasty Canasta), Heather Locklear (Dusty Tails), Joan Cusack (Mother), Timothy Dalton (Damian Drake), Bob Bergen (Porky Pig), June Foray (Granny), Brendan Fraser (Tasmanian Devil), Eric Goldberg (Marvin the Martian, Michigan J. Frog, Speedy Gonzales, Tweety), Bruce Lanoil (Pepé Le Pew), and Billy West (Elmer Fudd, Peter Lorre) Directed by Joe Dante.

Review
This is the first film covered of the 2000s, a decade that has just passed us by recently. The film is a wacky, but fine comedy with animation and live action mixed in very well. The cartoon characters are voiced well, with decent acting from Fraser and crazier acting by Martin. It's a zany, but cool film worth all the comedy, action, drama, spyness, and more all into a 90 minute film that entertains even if it may have been overshadowed by Elf, Matrix Revolutions, and *sighs* Cat in the Hat (#210). I'd say it's an underrated gem, but you'll have to check it out to see for yourself. For me, it's successful.

Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
