Wallace and Gromit Vengeance most Fowl 2024

 



Wallace and Gromit Vengeance most Fowl

“The robots, they're taking over the world. They'll destroy us all, I tell you.”

“Then where is the Blue diamond!”

“That's just an innocent nun out for a pleasure Cruise.”

Let's cut to the chase, Wallace and Gromit Vengeance most Fowl is a delight from start to finish. The film's simplicity shines evoking a sense of inventiveness and creativity that few films manage to achieve. I know what you're thinking, how can a film be simple but yet inventive in the same instance? The answer, care and passion for your work. The folks over at Aardman animation are able to accomplish so much because they deeply understand the medium that they are working in. Stop-motion animation is a hard sell nowadays. This tedious process of moving a maquette inch by inch second by second until you achieve a completed animation is a laborious process. Yet, Aardman clearly enjoys the art of patience because their work definitely speaks for itself.
Vengeance most Fowl orchestrates a conversation between itself and the medium that gives it life that is at once charming and insightful. The dichotomy between machine and nature is on clear display here, and it grants us a humorous battle of self-reverential joy. As always, Wallace and Gromit do not take sides but they do offer answers in their own inventive and reluctant ways. Directors Merlin Crossingham and Nick Park with their team offer us an arousingly simple Wallace and Gromit adventure. Showing us once again, that patience in and of itself has its own unique charms.

Rated PG for some action and rude humor.

I found Wallace and Gromit Vengeance most Fowl to be very entertaining, delightful and inventively charming. I hope in some way you do too.

Wallace and Gromit Vengeance most Fowl can be streamed on Netflix with a subscription

Who Made Man's Mouth: Recontextualizing Disability as an Ordinary, Every Day, Purpose Driven Life

Michelangelo's Moses c.1513-1515 Who Made Man's Mouth:   Recontextualizing Disability as an Ordinary, Every Day, Purpose Driven Life     "I want to live in a world where we value genuine achievement for disabled people, and I want to live in a world where a kid in year 11 at a Melbourne high school is not one bit surprised that his new teacher is a wheelchair user. Disability does not make you exceptional, but questioning what you think you know about it does." -Stella Young, TEDxSidney 2014      When you realize that perhaps you've been misunderstanding a core tenant of  yourself for a better part of your life, you begin to deconstruct the factors that brought you to that realization. Now, before we start this journey I want to say that I am not a theologian nor am I trying to be one. This endeavor is as much a journey of discovery for me as it is for you. It is a recontextualization of ...

My Top 5 Films of 2024

5.  Twisters 2024 “Nature's masterpiece.” If you feel it, chase it” “You don't face your fears you ride them” All right, I'll just say it, Twisters is an exhilarating experience. It is one of the most well orchestrated summer blockbusters that I have seen in years. Yet, it is also a film that never forgets the vehicles of utter power and destruction that it illustrates on-screen. Perhaps that is the film's strength: it is able, in a real tangible way, to convey these acts of God with respect and reverence for their awesome power. It does this, without losing, for one second the thrill and wonder of the chase. Twisters is a roller coaster ride in the best sense of the phrase. It has heart, meaning and poignancy in every inch of its special effects filled plunge, into the thrills and difficulties of storm chasing. On that note it is a movie that uses all of the available filmic and auditory tools to the greatest effect. At least to my ears Twisters is an exh...

The Boys in the Boat 2023

Image
 " It's called Swing, when all eight are rowing in such perfect unison that no single action is out of sync with the rest of the boat. Then you aren't fighting each other, you're moving less effort. Each one of your strokes is worth one and a half of the other boats. Most groups never find it, but when they do, rowing is more poetry than sport.” What does it take to be one? How do we overcome our innate desire to be loners, to fend for ourselves? These are questions that The Boys in the Boat attempts to answer. As a film the story of the 1936 Washington State Crew team brings us back to essentials. What is Sport? Is it a singular endeavor or does it require a team? The truth is, even when a singular person is on the field, their skills are still being honed by many hands. This is the essential aspect of Sport that we are asked to recall in thls engaging journey of the Washington Crew team, as they seek for Olympic Gold. It may seem like you've seen ever...
