Cartoon Mix

I thought that I should make a mix of some classic cartoons. These cartoons are some well-known classics including, Bugs Bunny, Felix the Cat and Woody Woodpecker. Here are some of my old favorites, even though some of these cartoons came before my time. You can't help but laugh at some of these silly cartoons. I hope you enjoy!

Zodiac

I'm sure everyone has heard that the new movie, Zodiac is over 2 hours long. The length of this movie was not very appealing. It is usually very hard to sit through a movie of that length. However, if the movie is entertaining and is this length, it is a pleasure. I had heard mixed reviews of Zodiac from friends. Most people that I talked to told me to wait for the DVD. On Thursday, I spoke to a friend that I share my Law and Order obsession with. She told me that she had seen Zodiac, the night before and it was great. I finally made up my mind that this was a movie I wanted to see. My boyfriend and I went out on Saturday and ran a few errands. We decided to catch a matinee. The movie was really good. Or at least I thought so, my boyfriend feel asleep after the first hour. Perhaps, I thought so highly of the movie because I love to watch crime dramas. Of course, the movie moved a little slowly but, there were many facts that were crucial to the story. This movie spans several decades and a lot of information. I also found it very appealing that the movie took place in the Bay Area. The characters in the movie were also fun to watch. Zodiac the movie is basically about the Zodiac murders in California. These murders took place in the 1960's and 1970's. I thought that Jake Gyllenhaal did a great job as an obsessed aspiring author. When I got home I recommended this movie to my Aunt, who is also a crime drama junkie. Anyone, who enjoys watching programs like, Law and Order, Crossing Jordan or CSI, would most likely enjoy this movie. I found a review of this film on Rotten Tomatoes. Check it out.

GOOD OL' DAYS

I have been extremely stressed out and frustrated for the past week. I don't think that I am alone in my feeling that this year is passing too quickly. Whenever I have a lot of work and responsibilities it reminds me of a simpler time. You know, when you didn't have to make any decisions. I really miss being a kid. Probably the most memorable and easy time of my life was in the 90's. I reminisce about how easy life was in those days. I would literally come home everyday and do my homework in front of the TV, while watching Disney cartoons. When I was younger it was Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers and Talespin. Then after that was Gummi Bears and Dark Wing Duck. However, my all time favorite has to be Ducktales.











To this day I am in awe whenever I watch an old episode of these programs. This is because I can usually remember the ending before it is over. I feel that Ducktales was one of the most universal cartoons ever made. It seemed as if all of my family and friends felt the same way about this cartoon. Regardless of whether it was a girl or a boy, they enjoyed it. Ducktales literally had it all. Adventure was the main theme. Huey, Dewey and Louie were always causing mischief. There were enemies such as, Magica de Spell(my favorite) and the Beagle Boys. Throughout the series the importance of sticking together and supporting a cause was expressed. Although, the cause that they were supporting was the success of Scrooge McDuck. Ducktales was very profitable for Disney. This could be because it was different from many cartoons at the time. The show was translated into many different languages. Darkwing Duck was actually a spin-off from Ducktales. I literally jumped for joy about a year ago when I found out that most of these Disney cartoons were going to be released on DVD. I have piratically all of the box sets. I highly suggest them to anyone who remembers the series or anyone who has children. To find out more information on Ducktales and related stuff visit, RETROJUNK



Obviously, my love of cartoons has continued beyond Ducktales and the other Disney's series. However, I have to stay true to my favorites and especially when I am feeling overwhelmed I miss those good ol' days.
