Rango - Great story with great animation but a bit bizarre for sure so kids might not enjoy this like RIO and too lengthy

Rango is definitely not your usual feel good look good kinda movie in fact it looks anything but good or attractive or colorful actually its dry,dirty and ugly and full of reptiles which can give you an yucky feeling if you are not a reptile fan I am not one for sure and really wanted to throw up at few scenes and for an animated movie its way too way too lengthy.

To be honest I don't mind watching many reruns of Rio/Tangled/Gnomeo and Juliet but there is no way I am going to ever watch this one twice.

The animation of this movie is simply outstanding and the story about someone from nobody from somebody is outstanding too but maybe I didn't like it so much as I don't like reptiles at all and the animation being brilliant makes them kind of look real and hence I felt more eeew :)

If you are fan of animated movies and don't mind reptiles you can surely watch this one but I would not recommend this one for very small kids.

Confessions Of A Shopaholic

While watching this movie I thought I was watching myself for a while when i saw Rebecca Bloomwood(Isla Fisher) shopping all the luxuries of life using her set of credit cards , thankfully I am nowhere close to her and have no intentions to be ever..but saying that I won't deny I love to shop for every reason and season :-)
Confessions Of A Shopaholic is based on the books "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" by Sophie Kinsella. This movie revolves around the life of Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) who is a 25 year old who lives with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter) in Suze's flat (paying her friend rent that is well below market value), in a trendy part of town. Rebecca is struggling with her obsession towards shopping and the sudden collapse of her income source makes her unintentionally land a job writing for a financial magazine after a drunken letter-mailing mix-up. Ironically writing about the very consumer caution of which she herself has not abided, Rebecca's innovative comparisons and unconventional metaphors for economics grants her critical acclaim, public success, and the admiration of her supportive boss Luke. But as she draws closer to her ultimate goal of writing for renowned fashion magazine Alette, she questions her true ambitions and must determine if overcoming her "shopaholic" condition will bring her real happiness.The portrayal of personal bill collector by her as her ex boyfreind stalking her is hilarious.
I loved the spirit of Rebecca in this movie and coming up with a resolution to solve her problem was very inspiring and fun to watch. A real good fun and sincere movie.
