I honestly don't know what to say. I saw this movie in IMAX and it was great. a lot of great action sequences and a lot of twists I can't give away. If you haven't seen this yet, go and watch it now.
My rating four and a half robotic arms. (I'm rating this on what ever I could remember from the movie)

Frozen Review
OK, so I have just come from the theaters from seeing the newest Disney movie Frozen. and how is it...
It the most beautiful movie I've saw this year!
But in all honesty, It on my list of my all-time favorite movies.
The premise is a princess is getting coordinated and that princess is Elsa. Her sister Anna, is very pleased with this and has met a guy and wants to merry but her sister won't allow it. But Anna finds out her sister has the ability to make snow appear out of no where after ticking her off as Elsa hides up in the mountains. Thus Anna is after her to get her back.
I honestly don't know where to begin with this. The characters were animated pretty well and the ranges of emotions that the girls did really work out in this. The story is some of the finest I've ever seen on the big screen. As for the musical numbers, They are brilliant I loved, Let it go, Reindeer(s) are Better than People and Love is an Open Door.
Before the movie began, Their was a Mickey Mouse short that dealt with Pete after Minnie for the 12th time and the funny thing is it begins like an old cartoon but then when Mickey is off the screen it's suddenly it's like one of those cartoons that breaks the 4th wall. It's pretty funny and I did like it.
Honestly, don't take my word for it, go see it. It's filled with a lot of good laughs and some really good musical numbers that won't disappoint the adults and the kids.

TheFerbguy's 28 Days of Christmas Day 28
Hello everyone and Today is Christmas and I got the final Christmas special to tell you guy all about.
If most of you are familiar with me, you all know I'm a fan of a Canadian comedy that ran from 1991 to 2006. If you haven't figured it out yet... It's The Red Green Show.
Yes, one of my comedic influences made Christmas specials for their show. But Not one, but two episodes.
That episode is It's A Wonderful Red Green Christmas.
This was the first Christmas special from S and S Productions that made it a tradition to watch the special every year on PBS.
If you understand what goes on in this show, then you'll figure out what happens in this.
I have a lot of favorite parts to this including Handyman Corner. We got Red talking about what Christmas means to him, Harold making a 365 day chain til Christmas chain and Red does the some thing except making the chains metal instead of paper, Red building a one horse open sleigh out of a car, Bill and Red getting a tree for Christmas, Harold teaching kids how to peak inside a present resulting in a hilarious ending, Ranger Gord telling a story of how he wished he didn't get struck by lightning, Red and Harold telling the Night Before Christmas (in style of the show.) and A lot of configuring Christmas stuff like Decorating a tree with tinsel with a canon, finding the bulb that burnt out and one of his member tellign a fictional war story on how he invented Christmas lights.
As you can tell, I really love this special the most and I always look forward to seeing it every year around this time.
So, what are you doing here looking at this. Go and enjoy Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. Be with your family or something.
Happy Holiday and here's to hoping your Futures are bright and fun. I know mine is already.

TheFerbguy's 28 Days of Christmas Day 27
One more day to go and every one knows that all good things must come to an end.
Today we are looking at all of the adaptations of Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol.
Every version of the movies has some parts added or removed from their adaptations of the book. So, I'm not going to explain it all. Instead, I'm giving you my thoughts on them.
First off from 1938,
This is second in line to being the shortest version of the bunch I'm talking about.
The story is on Scrooge an old man who is cold at heart around Christmas time. and the ghost of his old partner haunts him and warns him about three spirits that will come to change his heart around the holiday season.
Second, We got Mickey's Christmas Carol
Imagine this book and being squeezed down to a 25 minute short filled with All of the animated Disney characters at that time. Yea, very interesting sight isn't it? Out of all of the Christmas shorts I've seen, I actually liked this one around this time.
Third from 1986.
George C. Scott plays the role of Ebeneezer Scrooge and of course is visited by three ghosts. George does an unbelievable job playing Scrooge and his performance alone is something worth the watch every year.
Fourth we got The Muppets Christmas Carol.
It's hard for me to explain this except for Christmas Carol with the Muppets.
Fifth, We have the latest from 2009 featuring Jim Carrey who plays not one but 4 different people in this. and most of the movie is scary as crap the first time watching it. Seriously, was Disney willing to scare out of our Yuletide stockings?!?
sixth and finally we got, Scrooged featuring Bill Muray.
It's a modern take on the classic but making it a little modern. For instance, it takes place at a TV network and it has a lot of hilarious moments. I can't describe how funny the movie is one of those you have to see it type of those movies.
Well, Let's see tomorrow what it is we got that I watch on Christmas Day

TheFerbguy's 28 Days of Christmas Day 26
When I was talking about a legendary writer, I was talking about John Hughes and today we are talking about the two Christmas movies that makes you laugh and feel the spirit at the same time.
Those two are...
Home Alone.
released in 1990, Macaulay Culkin stars in the role of Kevin McCallister as he wishes that their is no one else to bother him all because they think hes nothing but a distraction (when really they were going to France). and now, the mother is on a quest to go to Kevin for the holidays. But, Kevin has big plans on him as two bandits are planing to break into his house and steal things.
I give this film credit, it did introduce me to John Hughes and the work he did back before this like, Sixteen Candles. The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This person had some really great work but halfway in the 90's I felt like John had lost his mojo in movie making with, Flubber and Home Alone 3. Luckily, we aren't looking at the third film. the next film we are looking at is...
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Taking place 1 year after the events of the last movie, Kevin's family is this time going to Florida to spend the holidays at. But, Kevin gets on the wrong plane that's heading for New York as he has his dad's credit card and a load of cash that he decides to stay at the most expensive hotel the film can bring us. But, Marv and Harry have escaped prison and headed to New York to this time steal money from a toy shop that's giving the money to fund a Children's Hospitial as Kevin goes his uncles place and tricks it out into a trap.
For this movie, I think little bits of the first movie was rewritten into this. But is the movie bad? Well, not really. I see this movie to be an interesting sequel, not the greatest but it's something worth watching once a year.
This is where I stop on Home Alone because 3, 4 and 5 are really a waste of time and not worth the ratings the network needs.
Well, 2 days let and I reveal the final movie I watched and then I get back into watching regular movies.

TheFerbguy's 28 Days of Christmas Day 25
I going to update this further on, but for the moment. Here's today's film...
Elf.
A funny Will Ferrell movie before I even knew him.
He plays the role of Buddy that one night want into Santa's bag and lived for 30 years in the north pole. He later finds out about his father and decides to trek into New York where all of the hyjinks ensue.
This movie was funny from the start to the finish and even Will brings a lot of humor to the role when it comes to learning what its like to be human.
I give this 4 plates of spaghetti with maple syrup.
Next, we are looking at movies based on specials that were remade for a new generation.
First, The Grinch.
Many people has considered that they find the movie to be a guilty pleasure and... I can see where they go from here. Again, this movie airs every year on ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas Marathon. so what is the point of me explaining the plot if you saw it on ABC Family? Well, I like to explain things most of the time.
The Grinch (played by Jim Carrey) is a grump who doesn't like Whoville and Christmas is out to make the town feel crabby about Christmas. Imagine the original book and short I reviewed a while back and added an hour and five minutes to the length.
When I was a Child, I found the movie to be okay and the opinion has long changed with every viewing. Jim does a good job in the role and also being one with the makeup and costume when he is preforming. Though, most of the people that had upper lips most of the time looked like demon possessed Hungry Hungry Hippos.
The rating I give 3 and a half dogs with an antler tied to their heads.
Now finally before I give this a Rest,
A remake based on the Rankin/Bass Special that came in 1998.
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer The Movie.
I'll do a little comparison with the special later on. So, here the story.
Rudolph is born with a red nose as most try to get use to this situation. a subplot is revealed that two of Santa's elves accidentally crash into Stormella's statues and Santa is forced not to use her bridge because if they do, she'll bury the North Pole in the biggest storm she has no control of.
A lot of things are completely different when it comes to story and characters.
For instance,
Rudolph's father in this is Blitzen when in the special it's Donner
Their is no elf wanting to be a dentist or the island of misfit toys, instead we got Slyly and Leonard (played by Eric Idle and Bob Newheart)
and like I mentioned in my review I did a year ago, Their are four voice actor who would later on go and play the roles in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
For many people they find this better than the sequel that came out three year later and I can agree with them that the sequel is garbage.
For this movie, I give it 4 wands coming out of in between of boobs (It happens in the movie.)
This can be seen on YouTube for all you people that can't find a copy of the movie.

Saving Mr. Banks Review
Recently I saw the movie about making a movie, Saving Mr. Banks at the Regal Everett Mall Stadium 16 and it was a fascinating movie.
The Story is about Walt Disney trying to make with the guidance of P.L Travers the choices to make the movie based on the book.
Where do I begin to say how great the movie is? The comedic moments fit very well with some of the dramatic moments the movie offers and of course, the actors fit their roles perfectly with Tom Hanks playing Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as P.L Travers.
I declare this movie to be my favorite film of the year and I can see myself a year from now watching this movie and loving it even more.
Go to your theater and see this, I guarantee you, you won't be disappointed.
