Flynn Rider - Tangled

Tangled (2010) (Movie)

Tangled is a 2010 American computer animated musical fantasy-comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. The film features the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi and Donna Murphy and is loosely based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" in the collection of folk tales published by the Brothers Grimm.[4] The film tells the story of a lost princess with long magical hair who yearns to leave her secluded tower. Against her "mother's" wishes, she enlists the aid of a bandit thief to take her out into the world which she has never seen.

The film was originally titled and marketed as Rapunzel until it was changed to Tangled shortly before its release. Tangled spent six years in production at a cost that has been estimated at $260 million[2] which, if accurate (and adjusted for inflation), would make it the most expensive animated film ever made and the second most expensive movie of all time. The film employed a unique artistic style by blending features of both computer-generated imagery (CGI) and traditional animation together, while utilizing non-photorealistic rendering to create the impression of a painting. Composer Alan Menken, who had worked on prior Disney animated features, returned to score Tangled.

Tangled premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on November 14, 2010, and went into general release on November 24. Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, Tangled earned $590 million in worldwide box-office revenue, $200 million of which was earned in the United States and Canada. The film was well received by critics and audiences alike. Tangled was nominated for a number of awards, including Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Awards. The film was released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 29, 2011; an animated short sequel, Tangled Ever After, was released in 2012.

Alvin the chipmunks the squeakquel

Dave is seriously injured in a benefit concert as a result of Alvin being carried away and knocking a giant Alvin billboard into Dave, sending him flying a good distance. Dave survives the accident but is left temporarily disabled as of the result. During his recovery Dave reveals that he has arranged for them to go to school and for popcorn jackie to watch after him during his recovery. When Toby arrives to take care of the chipmunks he is depicted as being lazy and having a love for video games as well as having a sarcastic demeanor. It is hinted through movie clips that Toby is having trouble controlling them and is often quarreling with the chipmunk trio as an example while playing Wii Bowling. Alvin breaks Daves new T.V. and a nervous Alvin suggests they play his second favorite game which is to hide the broken TV much to the shock and disbelief of a stunned Toby also he is referred as "Taco Boy" by Simon and when Toby claimed as being extremely popular when he went to school he is countered by the disheveling chipmunks who point out that he is still living with his mother, refers to himself as the Tobster and constantly going "pew, pew pew". A slightly amused Toby responds by giggling sarcastically and sending them off to bed early. It has also been revealed that Theodore is constantly trying to bond with his temporary guardian but after failing runs away from home.

Chuck Bartowski - Chuck

                         

Charles Irving "Chuck" Bartowski is the main and titular character of the American fiction television show television show Chuck on NBC. He is portrayed by Zachary Levi. UGO.com named him one of the best TV nerds.TV nerds.At the outset of the show, Chuck Bartowski is presented as a twenty something underachiever who lives in the Echo Park Section of Los Angeles, California and works at a dead end job at the Burbank Buy More in its Nerd Herd division (a fictionalized Geek Squad). Chuck's life stalled after his college roommate, Bryce Larkin, planted test answers under Chuck's bed and then reported him to the officials, which led to Chuck's expulsion from Stanford University (where he was a scholarship student) in 2003 — only twelve credits shy of completing his bachelor's degree. For a long time, Chuck hated Bryce for his betrayal, but he later learns that Bryce got him expelled to protect him from being recruited into the CIA because he knew Chuck wouldn't survive in the field. He also lost his college girlfriend, Jill Roberts (Jordana Brewster). Following his expulsion, Chuck moved in with his sister and began working at the Burbank, California branch of Buy More.At some point over the next five years Chuck becomes the Nerd Herd supervisor.

That's his job at the time of the pilot, when the viewers are introduced to the key people in Chuck's current life: his older sister, key people in Chuck's current life: his older sister, Eleanor Fay "Ellie" Bartowski, M.D. (Sarah Lancaster), her live-in boyfriend, Devon "Captain Awesome" Woodcomb (Ryan McPartlin) and Chuck's best friend since childhood, Morgan Grimes. Very little else is known about his family. His mother left when Chuck was in the fifth grade and his father was "never really around" even before he also left (roughly eleven years ago), so Chuck and Ellie increasingly had to fend for themselves.

On his birthday in 2007, Chuck opens an email from Bryce Larkin that causes Chuck to download into his brain the full contents of a CIA/NSA supercomputer known as the Intersect, which has served as a database for their combined collected intelligence. Unbeknownst to Chuck, the Intersect computer has been destroyed, making his brain the only location of this top-secret information. The government learns that Chuck Bartowski was the last known person that Bryce Larkin contacted, so both the CIA and NSA (independent of each other) send agents to find him. The CIA dispatches field officer Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) to retrieve a copy of the Intersect, while the NSA sends then-Major John Casey (Adam Baldwin) to capture Chuck. The two agents eventually cross paths, and Sarah fends off Casey. They then discover that Chuck is a human version of the Intersect who sees a rapid-fire series of images (or "flashes") of intelligence from the Intersect database whenever his brain recognizes a bit of related information with his own eyes or ears. The two agencies conclude that Chuck must be protected and assign Sarah and Casey jointly to the task.

                                 

Chuck é uma série que começou no ano de 2007. Resumidamente, ela conta a história de Chuck - Charles - Bartowski, um nerd que não sabe o que fazer da vida, foi expulso da faculdade e trabalha numa loja de eletrônicos. Chuck mora com sua irmã, Ellie, e o namorado dela Devon, ou Capitão Incrível para os íntimos, e conta com a "assistência" meio atrapalhada do melhor amigo Morgan.

Num belo dia Chuck faz aniversário e recebe um e-mail de um velho amigo de faculdade (que por sinal causou sua expulsão da mesma) e sem saber do que se trata ele abre o e-mail que mudará sua vida. A mensagem continha uma série de segredos do governo e das agências de espionagem dos states e todos esses segredos vão parar na cabeça do nosso desavisado heroi. Daí em diante as coisas invariavelmente tomam um rumo não muito agradável para o protagonista, procurado pela CIA e pela NSA (agências de inteligência e segurança dos Estados Unidos, representados pelos agentes Sarah Walker e John Casey) Chuck se vê metido num jogo que não faz ideia de como jogar.

A série é um misto de comédia e ação, com pitadas de romance e um pouco de tudo o que você puder imaginar, e esse é seu maior trunfo, além de ser uma sátira ao gênero da espionagem, a série funciona como uma fonte de humor marcada pela caracterização dos personagens e das situações em que estes se metem. É interessante ver um quase adolescente nerd, com problemas de relacionamento e uma certa dependência e carência da irmã, se tornar um espião da noite pro dia, literalmente. Mas, o mais bacana da série é notar as relações humanas e os exteriótipos que se desenvolvem durante os episódios.

Eu não quero falar mais pra não ficar dando spoilers e tirar a graça daqueles que nunca viram a série, mas posso dizer que é uma experiência no mínimo divertida e despretenciosa, não há mensagens ocultas ou lições de moral, nada além de muito entretenimento e cultura inútil (quer coisa melhor?). A série está na quarta temporada e promete uma quinta (possivelmente a última), é exibida (periodicamente) pelo Sbt e também nos canais a cabo, mas também é possível encontra-lá na internet para download. Então é isso, bom entretenimento e até o próximo post.
