Movie Review 1: The Adventures of Tintin and The Muppets

Hi everyone!  Sorry it's been awhile since my last post but suddenly life just got a little too busy.  So here's my first set of movie reviews.
The Adventures of Tintin
I thought this movie was pretty good.  If you have read the graphic novels, then you will see the differences between the two formats for sure.  However, I thought that the changes were rather good.  The Uncanny Valley effect was minimal and seemed limited to some of the more realistic looking people.  The more cartoony the character was, the less the effect.  I highly suggest watching this whether or not you've read the graphic novels.

The Muppets
This movie was absolutely hilarious!  This movie was not above poking fun at itself and I rather enjoyed the conventions that were used and satirized (especially the bit where they say "We'll travel by map!).  This movie is definitely a true family film.
