The Force Awakens HERE IS our Star Wars (SPOILER FILLED) PODCAST

By the time of this blog has posted The Force Awakens has passed Avatar as the new US Box Office Champion of All-Time.    Avatar made 760 Million in Domestic Box Office (I still can’t understand how that movie did so well)   As I wrote this blog on Tuesday 5th The Force Awakens had already grossed about 750 Million in the U.S. and was still averaging about 8 Million a day on Monday.

We just recorded our Podcast about the film.  Take a listen

http://www.superfantasticterrific.com/super-fantastic-terrific-11-star-wars-spoiler-episode/

And I’ve listened to at least a half a dozen podcasts on the subject myself.   I find it interesting listening to some people that have seen the film 5 times and yet say it is a 8 out of 10….(Then why did you see it 5 times).   Any movie that I’m willing to see at least 3 times in the theater is a 10 out of 10 for me.   It can have flaws and things that you pick at –but if it compelled you to see it multiple times –how can it be anything less than a 10

The Cast:    The Cast was excellent:    Especially Harrison Ford returning as Han Solo.  He stepped right back into the role and I didn’t doubt for a second that Han would be any different.   
I absolutely loved every scene he was in……(okay except for one scene –that really hurt).  John Boyega was excellent,  Oscar Issacs –needs a bigger role in the next episode….and Daisy Ridley was out of this world good as Rey.

The visuals and John Williams soundtrack draw you back into the  look and feel of the original trilogy –which has obviously struck a cord with all of the fans.  The movie wisely makes use of familiar Star Wars Themes and gives them a new twist and setting. 

Anyone that was questioning Disney’s purchase of Star Wars and looking on it with concern should now feel great about the future of the franchise.   Star Wars is no longer just a franchise –it is basically its own genre now.    I can’t wait until the film comes on DVD.  I can’t wait until the themed land goes in at Disneyland (watch out Potter).  And Rogue One is less than a year away.

The Good Dinosaur: A Sneak Peek at the Disneyland Resort

The latest Disney Parks Movie Sneak Peek is The Good Dinosaur currently in the Bug’s Life Theater.

I’m a huge fan of these movie sneak peeks that use the 4-D in theater effects to enhance the movie experience.   The Good Dinosaur sneak wasn’t presented in 3-D –but did effectively include the theater effects such as in theater lighting,  water effects and an incredible scene which included the seat effects.

Here is a cool picture of some of the characters outside the theater.

This movie wasn’t really on my radar to see in the theaters—but as usual they may have changed after seeing this cool sneak peek.  
I was surprised at the cool visuals in the film,  since I hadn’t seen anything that cool from the film’s first trailer.  It looks great and the 2 main characters are adorable and the sneak peek into the movies story makes it look like a lot of fun.  The story is basically a what if the asteroid hadn't killed all the Dinosaurs and follows a boy named Spot and a Dinosaur named Arlo.

Could this be Pixar’s First Flop?

Despite how good the sneak peek was this film had issues during production and was reworked by Pixar that didn’t feel it was good enough at first…..I think Pixar has solved whatever initial issues the film had because it looks like another great Pixar film now.   Pixar basically has the best movie batting average ever… They don’t seem to make bad movies---so I’m sure it will be great.   My only concern is for the box office future of the flick –between the Ice Age films and Land Before Time and Disney’s own Dinosaur.  It just seems like this ground has been stomped on too many times before.  The one thing this film lacks that the other Pixar films has is an original story.   As a result this particular film may get lost in the shuffle.    (Of course I've been wrong before)

When Disney Meets Star Wars: Star Wars Celebration Anaheim

When World's Collide.  

Disney meets Star Wars at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim.   This quick little photo blog features a few pictures from my weekend trip to Star Wars Celebration.

It looks like Disneyland has made its way across the street and invaded the Star Wars Convention.

Frozen Slave Leai has Hans Solo in Carbonite

Things are about to get a little Goofy at the Star Wars Convention now that Disney owns Star Wars.   This Goofy is from the booth Disney was promoting the upcoming Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Of course Disney XD's  amazing animated Star Wars Rebels show had a big presence at Celebration this year.  One of the highlights of the weekend was a Premiere screening of the first episode of Season 2 that filled up 3 hours early.

I was lucky enough to caught the Trailer on the big screen during the closing ceremonies  seen below

The rest of my Star Wars Convention photos will be over on my Movie page.
