Sing!

Ha.  Because I have given up writing on Facebook, I will post my movie reviews here.  Hopefully that will give me the kick in the ass I need to write more often.

Unfortunately, I won't have any pictures so I will keep this short.

Go see Sing!  I rarely go to animated movies because the crowd is noisier than I would like.  This one is a winner and is pretty awesome on the big screen.  It is a very clever story idea and it is fleshed out admirably with tons of great music that everyone will know.  Besides, there are some big stars in this; Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey, Seth McFarlane and Jennifer Hudson to name a few.

The ideas behind the implementation of the animation are simply incredible.  I don't know who thinks up this stuff but they are completely brilliant.  The story is solid, but remember, it is an animated feature so no surprises here.  I did actually have a tear in my eye at one point.  And I kind of have a crush on Johnny, the Gorilla.

If you don't like to watch 'cartoon' movies, then at least watch it when it comes out on DVD.

Borrow a kid and go see this one.

PS:  I had the pleasure of watching the movie "Room" on Amazon Prime the other day.  You need to see this.  Totally brilliant, people.  Totally brilliant.
