Best animation ever now in 3D

isney has come out with many great animated movies; however, there is only one that I would call epic and that would be The Lion King.
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis It is, by far, my favourite animated movie of all time due to the combination of the Hamlet-inspired story and the fantastic music of Tim Rice and Elton John. It was the highest grossing animated movie of all time until it was bested by another of my favourites, Finding Nemo, but it is still the highest grossing hand-drawn animated movie. It is only in theatres for two weeks starting tomorrow and is rated General. ••• Remaking a classic film is always wrought with difficulty, but remaking the Dustin Hoffman/Sam Peckinpah classic Straw Dogs is even riskier. Not only is it considered one of Peckinpah’s greatest films, the original is still controversial due to its violence, particularly its rape scene. Writer/director Rod
Food & Wine Schell from B3 that they are an Izakaya—a sort of gastro pub, Japanese style. I love the Rainbow Roll that boasts a line up of tuna, salmon, masago, spicy chopped shrimp, steamed prawn, cucumber and avocado—each bit offers a different piece of seafood. They also offer a small, but good wine selection, and carry some wonderful sake. Ever tried chilled sake? I highly recommend. Nothing like its heated, buzz bomb of a cousin, chilled sake can be very refined, like wine, offering up a wide range of flavours and consistency. Love the yam roll, too. http://mabui.getenjoyment.net. Jennifer Schell edits B.C. Wine Trails. jennschell@shaw.ca
Lurie (The Contender) decided to give himself the challenge of re-writing the story of a Los Angeles screenwriter and his wife who return to her hometown in the Deep South. Tensions begin to rise between the two of them as they face increasing conflict with the locals and everything comes to a violent turn. Straw Dogs reunites Superman Returns stars James Marsden and Kate Bosworth and is rated 18A with a warning of sexual violence. ••• Although Drive looks like it could be a remake of a Steve McQueen movie, it is actually based upon James Sallis’ 2005 novel of the same name. Ryan Gosling stars as a movie stuntman who moonlights as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire driving getaway vehicles. He is usually a loner, but when he gets involved with his beautiful neighbour and her convict exhusband, he finds his life spiralling out of control. Rated 18A for explicit violence. ••• In I Don’t Know How She Does It, Sarah Jessica Parker stars as a successful business woman, wife and mother who becomes the breadwinner of the family when her husband (Greg Kinnear) becomes a victim of downsizing. However, just when she lands
