Bart's Space Movie review

Quasi and friends are back as they try and stop an evil ringmaster from stealing Noterdame cathedrals most precious commodity.

What can I say, other than...THIS THING REEKS LIKE YESTERDAYS DIAPERS!!! I mean the Plot was paper thin, drab coloring, lame musical score. The only semi positive note was that most of the original voice cast returned to reprise their roles.

I think Disney would've been better off not even attempting this in the first place.

Bart's Space Movie Review


A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world -- and ours

From the Start I felt that this film was going to be a rousing fantasy adventure that would take me somewhere I've never been and in the end just "Leave me wanting more and wondering what's next", But Sadly despite the pretty amazing visuals, characters and world "The Story just didn't do that for me."

It quite Honestly felt like a rehashing of "Ferngully the Last Rain forest" where the Fairies (Leaf-men) Protect the forest from the villain Hexus(Mandrake)from being destroyed.

The Evil wizard Gargamel is "Up to his old tricks again" this time conjuring up smurf clones called Naughties to kidnap Smurfette

I Thought this Movie was weak from the start "Weak Plot, Same tired theme song with a different local thrown in and a new human character added to the mix. Now I Love cartoon movies i;e Most Disney Animated movies and some Fox ones, but "You have to have an Engaging story and it just wasn't.

So they should've stuck to making just the one and called it good.

Overall rating 0/5 Stars  "If you want a fun animated movie see Despicable Me 2 instead"

Bart's Space Movie Review

A look at the relationship between Mike and Sulley during their days at Monsters University -- when they weren't necessarily the best of friends. 

From the start I knew I was going to be in for a treat, Because with a name like Disney/Pixar  How can You go wrong, To me it's a virtual Impossibility. 

Having said that, This Monsters Outing was very well done, The backstory I felt really Iliastrated the feeling of how it is being the new guy and the way their precieved by their peers.

I  also loved the introduction of the new Monsters and well as a reintroduction of Fan Favorites which I felt added real depth and dimension to the world that the director and writers were trying to create.

I Honestly can['t find anything wrong with this Movie, Other then to say "It was a fun trip"

Bart's Space Movie Review

The events leading up to the sword fighting cat's meeting with Shrek and his friends. 

I thought this film was a pretty enjoyable romp into the backstory of how Puss became the boot wearing feline that we see in the "Shrek Films" I also found it funny that the reviewer who rated it on Internet Movie Database Said "That He felt "There are instances of real invention here. The first is the setting, which is sort of a medieval spaghetti western, although the western card was played better in "Rango".

Um...Dude Rango was meant to be more of an "American Western" whereas this was set in Mexico, So it's more Of a "Mexican western". I do have to admit however that if they were going for more of a "Western Feel" the "Overall Plot" kinda threw me off a bit".

But the Story was fun and had good action and pacing to it.

Overall Rating 4/5 Stars

Christmas 2012


Hey Everyone,

I had an amazing Christmas this year and the Best Part was I actually got visit from "The Jolly Old Elf" Himself" Yes that's Right I'm talking about Santa Clause, HE ACTUALLY MADE A PERSONAL VISIT TO MY HOUSE!!!! 

I was BLOWN AWAY!!!!  I think the only slight downside was I felt like the time spent with the extended family was "Cut a little Short" But in Hindsight I actually got to spend time with all 3 of my aunt's uncles and cousins on my mom's side so it worked out.

I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAD AS GREAT A CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS AS I DID!!!!

SEE YA CHRISTMAS 2013

A curious Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, journeys to the Lonely Mountain with a vigorous group of Dwarves to reclaim a treasure stolen from them by the dragon Smaug.


I really enjoyed this movie, not simply just for the fact that I read the book, but also for me it "Brought the Lord of the Rings experience "Full Circle"  for those who have not yet viewed the "Lord of the Ring's Trilogy" I won't say any more than that so as not to spoil it.

The Only slight thing that I disliked, was that some parts, mainly in the beginning, were a little" slow-sided," But other than that it was great.

Bart's Space Movie Review

A jaded former jockey helps a young girl prepare a wild but gifted horse for England's Grand National Sweepstakes. 

I thought this Movie was pretty decent fare with a solid, but semi-predictable story coupled with acting that for it's time was tolerable and cute, but living in the 20th century, for me it was like eating an "Overly Syrupy pancake" in that it was "TOO LACED WITH SUGARY SWEETNESS IT WAS ALMOST GAG WORTHY."

So Overall if you want to travel back to a simpler time and don't want a "Plot Heavy Movie" than this is the film for you.

Bart's Space Movie Review

Seen on 9/16/12
In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman is ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

I thought this was an "Ok" version of the Snow White tale, It just was very dark and as I've said in past reviews, isn't there enough evil in the world already? Why to we have to make it worse by making a classic Children's tale into somthing that it really shouldn't be. Which Is why I prefer "Mirror, Mirror" and the original Walt Disney classic over this hands down.


Bart's Space Movie Review 2/5 ’ Stars I guess this was made more for adults than kids and I guess that makes me a kid in an adult's body.

Farview 2012

Hey Everyone,

I'm Back from Fairview and BOY WHAT A TIME I HAD, First off I actually got to truly test drive the Can-am Comander and I can't begin to say enough about this Machine.

The Bucket seats were very comfortable and I could last all day, where as in the Razor and Rhino I would be aching by the end of the ride also the seating is tilted back which is  more like  a car, thus elevating the pressure in my tailbone.

It has two hand holds, a bar on the dash and a stick on the console and that made me feel very secure and comfortable as well as side netting.

and finally the Most important POWER and TORQUE It had excellent low range for four wheeling and High gear for more of a RALLY RACING STYLE for handling the switch backed trails. Probably the most fun part for me was the SPEED when we were coming  into town after the saturday afternoon run we had it up to 72mph!!!

But it actually tops out at 80mph.

So as far as side-by-side's go this is the one I would choose for all around comfort and all around fun CAN-AM COMMANDER IS #1

we also took it off some pretty Big Jumps and at one point my Uncle Mike said we had all four tires off the ground, TALK ABOUT MAJOR AIRTIME.

I also saw some of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FALL COLORS I'VE EVER SEEN, I MEAN THE RED AND ORANGE LEAVES WERE SO BRIGHT YOU  ALMOST NEEDED SUNGLASSES TO LOOK AT THEM.

Now on to the animals I saw a total of 5 deer and 6 or seven TURKEYS, THAT'S RIGHT TURKEYS!!! WE COULD'VE HAD A THANKSGIVING FEAST RIGHT THERE, AND THERE I WAS WITHOUT MY CRANBERRY SAUCE DARN IT!!!

I also went on my first actual "NIGHT RUN" which made for a totally different experience, But with the Commander's AMAZING HEADLIGHTS THE VISIBILITY WAS EXCELLENT!!!

The food and company WAS AMAZING AS WE HAD PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE RIGDON CLAN DOWN THIS TIME, minus a few kids.

So in my humble oppion IT WAS THE BEST TRIP YET!!! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL BARTMAN IN FAIRVIEW 2013!!!! RIGDON'S ROCK!!!

THANKS TO UNCLE MIKE AND EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS TRIP POSSIBLE.

Bart's Movie Review



Pirate Captain sets out on a mission to defeat his rivals Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz for the " Pirate of the year Award."

I thought this was another Rousing and Swashbuckling adventure from the talented filmmakers of Aardman Entertainment.
 It had Jokes that were very humorous, But you had to pay pretty close attention otherwise you might miss them, which to me was the only slight downside to this  entertaing farce.
I also thought the sets and voice cast were wonderful as well.

Overall Rating 4/5 Stars

Johnny English goes up against international assassins hunting down the Chinese premier.


I thought this movie was a very funny second installment in the "Johnny English Movie duo. I do have to say that if your not a "Bean fan" or into 007 then this might come off as a bit of a head-scratcher, But for me it was great!!!

Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.

I thought this movie was a little slow to build up to the action at first, but once it got going It was very intense. I thought the new Villain Bane was one of the darkest villains I've ever encountered.


I also really enjoyed Ann Hathaway's performance as Catwoman it was a nice revamp on the Semi-campy performance of Pfeiffer.


Now on to Alfred, Michael Cain's  performance was much deeper than  the other films in that he felt more like a parent rather than just merely trying to Shelter and feed Wane.


 on to the vehicles........psych!!!! I'm not going tell, cause that might Spoil the movie.


It's just an Incredible film, that dropped my jaw and left me yearning for more, which to me is exactly what a film should do.


Overall rating  4/5 Stars  "Amazing in Imax!!!"

Sean Anderson partners with his mom's husband on a mission to find his grandfather, who is thought to be missing on a mythical island.

From the start I viewed this film as one of those where "You turn off your Brain and just relax" Because if your going into this one with too high of expectations, you'll be sadly disappointed.

Because this is a Fun Film that at times will have your eyes rolling and gut-busting as you get pelted with one "One-liner after another"  For Example: ( Vanessa Hudgens) Kailani: What was that? (Luis Guzmán) Gabato: It's a scary noise in a dark cave. Keep moving...

I also Loved the Rock's Version of the Ray Charles Classic "What a Wonderful World". 

Overall it was a nice remake of a film that was already pretty far fetched in it's own right.

3/5 Stars

Bart's Space Movie Review


Seen on 10/8/12



In an effort to tap into his original talent, a wheelchair-bound author moves to a rural town, where he befriends a single mother and her three kids, who help reignite his passion for writing.


I thought this was an amazing Story, with a main character very well portrayed by the great Morgan Freeman. I really felt a connection to him, first, his Struggle to "adapt" to his new life and Second his Struggle to unlock the "Imagination" within himself.


I too have faced Similar circumstances especially when I see the world I reside in crumbling around me, Being devastated by fire and the honesty of people being tested over and over.

 It makes me grateful for the friends/ Family that have come into my life and ts what I believe this Story is all about, That by just being a friend to someone who maybe has lost his/her passion or drive you can help him/her regain it, so they in turn can spread the joy to others.

The Only slight downside I found with this was that the pacing was "Slow" other than that It was a wonderful film.

(Overall Rating . 4/5 Stars)
