My Penny of View : Yogi and Boo Boo were two brown bears that lived in the Jellystone. They liked to steal picnic baskets and the action caused a lot of troubles to Park Ranger, Smith. The visitors became lesser and lesser. Meanwhile, the Mayor realized that the city was having financial crisis. To solve the problem and ensure his election for the next governor, he decided to sell off Jellystone. Ranger Smith, Yogi, Boo Boo and together with documentary shooter, Rachel wanted to save the park for being sold. They came up the idea of big celebration for 100 years anniversary for the park to attract more visitors. Will they succeed? Will Yogi and Boo Boo help or trouble Ranger Smith again?

I think most of the people know who is Yogi Bear. He is a brown bear with his hat and tie. He has a little friend called Boo Boo that following him. The Park Ranger is another character you surely familiar with because he always try to prevent Yogi to steal the picnic baskets. Old cartoon characters and predictable storyline, but there is something new which is the 3D effects. You can't deny the high quality pictures and fantastic 3D effects. It contains laughters and I'm sure kids will love it. The length of movie is just nice, if not it will become boring. Do you know? Justin Timberlake plays the voice of cute Boo Boo bear.



Rating : ★★★☆☆

My Penny of View : Sarah was a nine months pregnant lady and she was watching a news about Riverton Ripper has killed seven persons. A security TV has recorded the process Ripper was killing a girl and identified his weapon was a pocket knife with the word "vengeance" marked on the blade. Sarah's husband, Abel found the knife underneath the stairs but he can't remember killing anyone. He has Dissociative Identity Disorder and he hid it from his wife. He called his doctor that he was losing himself again. The doctor immediately called police and went to Abel's house. Abel went back to the room to check his wife but found out that he has stabbed his wife till dead. Later, he attacked his daughter, Leah. Luckily the police and doctor arrived in time to take down Abel but they were attacked by Abel again. While on the way to hospital, Abel attacked another officer and the ambulance crashed into the woods. Everyone able to escape before the ambulance exploded. Abel also managed to escape. On the same night, seven babies including Abel's baby were born. 16 years later, they were known as Riverton Seven-Brandon, Brittany, Alex, Penelope, Adam 'Bug', Jerome and Jay, and they were having ritual to keep the Ripper away. They were safe for 15 years but on their 16th birthday, weird things happened continuously. It started with Jay's death. Who kill Jay? Is it mean Ripper has return?

I didn't watch the trailer and read the synopsis. I only know the director-Wes Craven who is best known as creator of horror movies. So, I'm kinda looking for some thrilling scenes that make me sleepless. The movie was all about devil, Dissociative Identity Disorder and killings. It tries to explain logically to audiences about what was happening which I think is not necessary. It did successfully make me terrified in a few scenes. It should be credited to the good sound effects. Can't complain much on the acting because all they need was screaming technique. As conclusion, after few unexpected horror scenes, it was a boring movie. This movie will be shown in 3D in US. Seems like Wes Craven only try to fulfill the 3D effects.

Rating : ★★☆☆☆
