satire. It actually highlights the bitter society in America‚ and mocks the way corporate bosses manage employees ’ dismissal; more accurately‚ it displays human fallout over job loss. This kind of movie is not common in the modern Hollywood production - the kind that does not insult our intelligence. This movie‚ released in 2009‚ is very well-timed‚ as in these times of economic meltdown‚ one of the main problems in people ’s lives is getting laid-off‚ not knowing what to do next to support their families

like about this movie is‚ easy for us to remember every scene. Just like at the beginning of the movie. When Sulley roars like Chris Bosh at a mechanical kid! Honestly‚ I’ll only enjoy a movie when something stocked in my head and when I reacted so much on that scene. That’s what I had noticed to myself while watching movies. Cute movie that has friendly monsters. Although it’s not the best Pixar film‚ it’s good. The monsters aren’t very scary maybe because it’s a kiddy cartoon movie. Even though their

In the sequel Despicable Me 2‚ the Gru’s story continues but due to the marketing of this movie‚ somehow the minions

While its clear Recount has some major and deep flaws in its writing‚ sometimes the 100% true events must be forfeited if the movie is to reach a mass audience. Movies like Argo (which I’ve seen) suffer from the same issue‚ which created heroes where there were none‚ and excluded blatant and important facts. Movies consistently distort the facts so that they can entertain a mass
