Secret Life of Pets 2 Is The Best Movie Of The Week

So I went to the advance press screening ofThe Secret Life of Pets 2, taking my family along with a few friends and their children. The theater was mostly family and kids. From the very beginning, this film was lead and propelled by these few characters and the actors behind them. Kevin Hart as Snowball, Tiffany Haddish as Daisy, and Gidget played by Jenny Slate who to me was the best part of the first movie as well. I enjoyed the first Life with Pets but what I was upset with was that it was marketed as a movie that was going to show us what our pets do when we're not around then turned into a much larger adventure than I believed necessary.

The thing that the sequel did well was that it involved three separate story lines and issues that was perfectly consolidated at the end. You deal with Max facing a fear of the unknown and his anxieties, Gidget trying to recover a lost beloved toy from a crazy cat ladies apartment and snowball  saving a circus tiger from an animal abuser. So you have three separate issues that our heroes had to face in overcoming your fears, doing what it takes to fix a problem for a friend and helping someone in need who doesn't have the ability to help themselves. Three separate but intertwined issues.



As heavy as they were in theme the adventure of them all were completely gut busting funny. Max was taken to his owners relatives farm where he was mentored by a dog named Rooster played by Harrison Ford, and the new dynamic duo in Snowball and Daisy.  The most exciting things that were happening were with the new animals that were introduced to this universe with the exception of Gidget. I recommend this for everyone because that is exactly who were in this theater laughing their bottoms off, absolutely everyone. The best movie of the week by far.

Disney's Frozen: I believe is one of the hottest movies of 2013

To all movie fans like myself I call you to arms to go check out Frozen, the latest film by Disney Animation. It was done without the help of Pixar, which I'll admit made me skeptical about seeing till I remembered how much I loved Wreck It Ralph. This movie was a huge surprise to me. I went in with no feelings of interest which probably worked to my advantage because my expectations were so low. I was shocked at how much I loved this movie. I believed that the days of Disney musicals were over; no more, they are alive and well. In fact I believe this will reboot the comeback of the blueprint.

I took my son to see this movie, who himself, never saw a trailer or clip. We both were totally fresh and came out together singing "Let It Go" which was performed by actress and singer Idina Menzel in her role as Queen Elsa.

I came out loving this movie, the characters were hilarious. Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad all had amazing chemistry. Josh Gad played the snowman in the movie which was the character that made me assume would be no good, surprisingly became the best thing about the movie because it was executed in the opposite way I expected it to be done. I won't say for spoiler reasons but I will say that I assumed the character would be the Donkey i.e. Shrek of the movie, which worked for Shrek but I felt would be overkill for Disney. Absolutely not the case. Perfect pitch.

I developed a interest and a sense of caring for these characters and recommend people of all ages to support it. I will say that Frozen will go down on my list as one of my top 20 Disney films defiantly above a few Pixar classics. I haven't developed the list yet but that's coming soon. Go see it, Frozen will not disappoint and you'll come out a changed movie Franatic who will believe in the power of a magical movie moment again. See it with a friend, turn off your phone and get ready to sing.

I rate this one: Outstanding!
