In honor of one of the coolest days ever, Dadnabbit is having a giveaway in conjunction with the August 2nd release of Rio.

In case you missed it in the theaters this past spring, Rio the CG animated film about a nervous, inhibited Spix Macaw named Blu (voiced by Academy Award nominated actor, Jesse Eisenberg). At a young age, Blu is captured from his native homelands of Brazil and shipped off to Minnesota.

When his cage accidentally falls off the truck of his abductors, Blu is discovered by a little girl named Linda. The two grow up together. As an adult, Linda (voiced by Leslie Mann) learns that Blu is the last male of his kind, and with that, the two head south to Rio de Janeiro to meet Blu’s new mate. However, it’s nowhere near close to love at first sight between the socially awkward, flight challenged Blu and the strong and independent extreme flying female Jewel (Academy Award nominated actress, Anne Hathaway). Shortly after Blu’s arrival, greedy animal smugglers capture the two rare birds and they soon find themselves chained together and helplessly lost in the Brazilian rainforest. They embark on a hysterical and endearing adventure where they learn about friendship, love, courage and spreading ones wings to fly. Continue reading →

DVD Review: “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules”

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is a vast improvement over its predecessor. Whereas the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid film featured a main character who was primarily a jerk, the second movie has mellowed out hero Greg Heffley and made him easier to root for during his new misadventures.

The central story of the movie deals with seventh grader, Greg (Zachary Gordon), and his relationship with older brother, slacker high schooler, Rodrick (Devon Bostick). The film opens with the beginning of a new school year. Greg is less concerned about being popular and more interested in meeting the cute new girl, (Peyton R. List). As if he has a chance. Luckily, Greg has his loyal companion, Rowley (Robert Capron) to provide a constant stream of optimism. Continue reading →

DVD review: “Gnomeo & Juliet”

It’s a tale told a thousand times, best done in the movies by Franco Zeffirelli, Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, and Baz Luhrmann. So do we really need another adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, this one an animated film told with garden gnomes and other assorted lawn decorations? My first response, especially with this premise, was absolutely not. Even with the music of Elton John in the background, Gnomeo & Juliet sounds like a horrible idea. But guess what, it’s actually a cute little movie with a great deal of heart, some wonderful performances by an excellent cast, and of course there is the music. Continue reading →
