Ice Age and more...

" We've been living above an entire world, and we didn't even know it " - Ice Age 3, Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Before i begin this post, first and foremost, i would like to congratulate my cousin on his marriage. The wedding was held in Canada. Cousin Sunni and Adlina, your new adventure begins hereon!



I believe if the third of a movie comes out, it should be good. Lord of the Rings made big. Spiderman was amazing. X-Men was superb. Shrek was entertaining. And now comes the latest sequel in the Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which happens to be a third.

I like it for an animation movie, that's for sure. Though i did not watch the first and the second, i could easily understood the story and the characters as it goes on. The graphics of this movie is sharp and real, unlike some other movies i have dreaded watching. The storyline is simple and rather predictable. The beginning is slightly draggy here and there- Manny and Ellie are expecting a baby and Manny gets cold feet, Diego questions his ability, Sid desires to be a parent, but when it comes to start of the adventure, the story takes a knot faster. The final part of the adventure was most captivating and engaging.



It was fun to watch Manny and his friends rescue Sid, who was assumed to be kidnapped by the Mother Dinosaur. They adventured into a land beneath their home and it was inhabited with extinct dinosaurs. They faced several perilous tasks along the way, and this shows to what extent friends would do in the time of need- they forgo themselves, they overcome the weaknesses within themselves, they learn to trust one another and they support each other throughout their quest.



This movie has its moments too. I laughed really loud during the part when the possums pointed toward Sid and the 'pilot' replied 'Roger'. The possums, however, misinterpreted the reply and questioned him who was 'Roger'. I was taken aback when Diego overcame his weakness and Manny showed fatherly-strength. I was thrilled when the possums 'shot' down the enemy's 'plane'. The co-operation shown by them in trapping was also inspiring. This movie blends really well, and i enjoyed watching it- like Shrek 2! A great pick for the weekend.

You just have to like the ending!

Apart from Ice Age 3, i have been watching other shows, either on the telly or downloaded from the Internet. I just watched Pizza My Heart, a romantic comedy movie. It's about family rivalry on pizzas coming to peace when their child fall for each other. Entertaining yet light. I don't follow Smallville but ever since my holidays began, i tried to watch it- Season 6, and i really like it. Excitedly, i downloaded episode Justice- the highest rated of all episodes of Season 6 and probably of Smallville. And it is awesome. Even if you don't follow, you'll still like the adventure!

wc09 is off to watch Justice once again, and Ice Age is, literally, fun!
