Justin Timberlake as Boo boo in Yogi Bear

Justin Timberlake stars as the voice of Boo Boo, Yogi Bear’s faithful pal and co-conspirator in the latter's never-ending schemes to separate park visitors from their lunches, in Warner Bros.' new 3D animated comedy “Yogi Bear.”

“Back when I was in school, I’d procrastinate doing my homework by watching cartoons, and ‘Yogi Bear’ was one of the staples of after-school television and Saturday mornings,” Timberlake reminisced. “Later, I found out that my parents grew up with it, too. Watching it makes me feel like a kid again.”

The Grammy-winning pop sensation-turned actor talks about his experience making “Yogi Bear” in the following interview:

The Rite Movie Review

By Sai

Most of us experience that point in our life where we doubt what we believe in. We question the belief that the elders are passing unto us. It is a necessity for us to believe in something.

TO SEE IS TO BELIEVE

Faith is something that some of us doesn't have. Faith defines how well we believe in something and it gives us the reason to fight for it. When someone asks you about faith you automatically think of having faith in the Almighty One. I actually find this movie a bit hilarious (story-wise) because Fr. Michael Kovak has nothing but the eagerness to scorn both the belief that there's heaven and hell.

Tangled Movie Review

Tangled

I'm sorry if I haven't posted as much movie review as I use to post before. Things are getting a bit heavy (especially with my day job so please bear with me)! So, here's my next movie review - Tangled!

ANIMATION

I am a big fan of animated movie! Whoever made this movie is amazing! I can't even draw a flower properly and I am just so amazed with animators' talents! Kudos to everyone who made this movie possible!

BEING FREE

I can't imagine myself being locked up in a tower in the middle of nowhere! I actually admire how Rapunzel bravely faced the world that's new to her! She's one brave young lady!

The Rite

Life is a Pic-a-Nic

For people the world over, the name Yogi Bear sparks the distinctive image of a certain pear-shaped gourmand in a jaunty hat and tie—a lovably larcenous pie-eating rebel who believed he was smarter than the average bear, and whose outrageous antics put Jellystone Park on the cartoon map of the world.

Speaking with affection about the “star” of his new 3D film “Yogi Bear” from Warner Bros., director Eric Brevig says, “I’ve always loved Yogi. He does things his own way. He means well, but he just can’t stop listening to his stomach, and those impulses that tell him if he grabs a pie off that table fast enough maybe he’ll get away with it. He’s like a big kid, and I think he represents that part of all of us. He may be a bear, but so much of what he does is pure human nature.”

“People smile when they think of Yogi,” says producer Donald De Line. “He’s such a timeless character. I can hear his voice in my head the instant I think of him.”

The Tangled Sneak Peek

Tangled

Walt Disney Pictures presents “Tangled,” one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told.

When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit, Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi), hides out in a mysterious tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn’s curious captor, who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse (named Maximus), an over-protective chameleon (named Pascal), and a gruff gang of pub thugs.

Also featured in the talented vocal ensemble is two-time Tony® Award winner Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel. Ron Perlman lends his voice to a Stabbington Brother, one of Flynn’s double-crossed partners in crime, and Jeffrey Tambor and Brad Garrett provide the voices of two of the thugs Flynn and Rapunzel encounter along the way.

Voldemort hunts down Harry Potter in "Deathly Hallows, Part 1"

Posted by Sai

In Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” -- the seventh and final adventure in the Harry Potter film series told in two full-length parts -- Lord Voldemort is on a mission: to end the life of “the Boy Who Lived.”

Director David Yates says, “Voldemort is on the cusp of absolute power. He’s been hiding in the shadows, biding his time until he could come back and impose his will on the rest of the world. Everything else in his master plan has come together; he just needs to deal with this one tiny detail. Voldemort doesn’t understand how this ‘child’ has become his strongest adversary, but he does know he must be the one to kill Harry Potter. First of all, it was destined and, secondly, there is the sheer satisfaction of it after being thwarted so often. It’s beyond personal at this point.”
