Oz The Great and Powerful
Plot / Synopsis

Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character.

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.

Oz The Great and Powerful Film Trailer Review

Most of us grew up with the story of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion and how they defeat the Wicked Witch who have been a menace to the people of the magical land of Oz. People who grew up with the story might have asked the question Ïf Oz was like Dorothy, an ordinary human, what was his story?". Finally after decades, Hollywoiod through Walt Disney Pictures now tells the story behind (or origin) of the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz.

Walt Disney Pictures has done an excellent job with the presentation of Oz The Great and Powerful official trailer. The magical land of Oz has been beautifully re-imagined in 3-D. The cast of the 2013 prequel to Oz is pretty solid with James Franco as Oscar Diggs (will be later known as the Wizard of Oz). The film can cater to both kids with its magical and fantasy setting, and adults who grew up hearing the story of The Wizard of Oz who wanted to know the origin of the Wizard who helped Dorothy. We'll have another good fantasy film from Walt Disney this 2013.

How about you guys, what can you say about this very timely film adaptation that served as the prequel to both the film and story we all grown to love over the years. share your thoughts about Oz The Great and Powerful official trailer in the comments section below:

Mama Official Movie Trailer Impressions
Mama Film Trailer Review

2013 offers a film featuring a mother's "undying" love with Mama. The only question is, "Is she even human?". Adults are puzzled as to how can two kids survived on their own for five years in the wild. Well, the catch is they weren't alone.

The trailer for mama looks good and features some creepy moments in the film. My only complaint is that they already included what "mama" looks like as seen in this trailer impressions for this 2013 horror movie. Even so, my curiosity is piqued. I am curious as to what is the nature of mama. Is she a ghost, malevolent spirit, an elemental, or what? What is her objective for haunting the guardian of the children she protected for five years? Is there really a haunting to begin with? Some movies play its audience well. They lure you in only to deliver a sucker punch of a twist or plot device in the end or later half of the film. Sometimes it is fresh and engaging, but usually it doesn't which could very well ruin the film. Let's just hope that it won't be the case with Mama.

How about you guys, what do you think of the this January 2013 horror movie? Share your thoughts about Mama's official movie trailer in the comments section below:

What makes a good animated film? The answer to that is when the said animated film both caters to the entire family. An animated film where both children and adults will find entertaining. This is the case with Dreamwork's Rise of the Guardian.

Most of us grew up hearing stories about various fictitious characters like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Boogeyman, the Sandman, etc. This is probably why most films that includes a take on most of these characters usually warrants our interest, but what more if you put them together and approach them in a completely different perspective? This is where Rise of the Guardians trailer works. I for one am hyped up for this animated film and automatically gets a recommendation from us.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted Trailer Impressions: The Third Installments and No, the Animals Aren't Home Yet

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is a computer-animated 3-D comedy film and the third installment of the Madagascar film series which still follows the story of four New York City Zoo animals whom with the "help" of four sneaky penguins return to the wild, only to find themselves not completely fitting in and so the quest to return to that home continues. Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures will this third to the last installment be as fun as that comes before it?



Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
Plot / Synopsis

Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippopotamus, and Melman the Giraffe set out to return to New York after escaping to Africa. Dependent on the mechanical know-how of the notorious monkeys, their plan inevitably goes awry and they find themselves stranded in Monte Carlo, where they try to escape Europe from animal control by joining up with a traveling circus by chance. Led by the venerable tiger Vitali, the animal-centered circus has seen better days. During the course of a tour through a series of European cities that ends in a fabulous big top in the heart of London, Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman help Vitaly, Gia the jaguar, and Stefano the sea lion, rediscover their passion for show business and reinvent circus performance.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted Trailer Review

Who would have thought that the CGI film Madagascar would be an animated film "tetralogy " a.k.a. quadrilogy? Well that should not be a surprised as Hollywood has this awful habit of milking something which either successfully works or frustratingly don't. As far as he Madagascar series is concern, I think Dreamworks did the right thing, take four likable main protagonists and continue to follow their quest to get home. That is what Madagascar film series has been all about and you know what it is alright.



This time the animals are in Monte Carlo and on the run, now they have to "blend in" for them to successfully go back to New York City. You will see some similarly humorous scene in this trailer and as I watch the trailer, I cannot help but smile to see familiar faces doing what they usually do. A perfect movie to bring the kids without boring the adults as well, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is a good 2012 family movie. A very easy recommendation for CMAQUEST.
