Yeah yeah, I know, I update about as often as Mercury makes a complete orbit of the sun. I'm going to try to get back in the habit of making a post at least once a week. Whether I will or not remains to be seen. Anyhow, When I started this here blog I had said something about reviewing movies, music, gadgets and whatnot. So why not throw in a movie review. Today I'm reviewing ...
Madagascar

Let me start off by saying that I wasn't expecting much from the movie, just to a fun 3D animated flick. And when I first saw the previews for it, I wasn't overly impressed with the art style of the 3D graphics. I quickly warmed up to it though, it sets itself apart from movies like The Incredibles and especially Shrek (which was done by the same company, Dreamworks). I look at it as a 2D cartoon done in a 3D world. All the characters were at least likeable, and had distinct personalities. The plot was simple enough for a kid to follow, yet interesting enough to keep the adults into it as well. A good amount of humor, some of it a little tongue in cheek, but not so much that it seemed over the top. Overall, I give it a thumbs up and recommend it for a matinee.
