Movie #248........................."Toy Story 3"

Movie #248 "Toy Story 3" is a wow film!!!!!! from the opening 10 minutes to the very end, it is rip roaring fun ---- maybe better than the first, and if you know me, I have always held the first one in the highest esteem. You read it here first! "Toy Story 3" will be nominated in the best picture category, and for my money, I haven't seen any previous 2010 movie better than this! I don't want to give too much away, but it's fit for every age, shape and form -----highlights include a brief homage to the Great Escape, Stalag 17, and, of course, Cool Hand Luke!!!!!!! There's romance, action adventure, dance, fighting, crying, hugging, pieces of Mr. and Mrs. Potato head strewn about ---- just about everything you can imagine, all rolled into a gift package for 4th of July fun from Pixar!!! Make sure you see this one. And, you know, you don't have to see it in 3D. Not a must, and I liked that, too. Oh, and leave it to Disney/Pixar to come out with a powerful indictment of the partisan way of politics these days (at least that's my take on the short that preceded the feature film) with their short: "Night and Day" (not to be confused with the T. Cruise one out at the same time) And what they say in that film needed to be said, and NEEDS TO BE SAID EVERY DAY until we can work together to come up with solutions to fix what's wrong with our society. But Disney does it so much better than feeble words put down in a blog like this! Go see it. It's a must!
