Monkey paw movie11/13/2023 ![]() The process for casting grownups for “The Mighty Movie” is mighty obvious: Hire the biggest stars who want to tell their kids they’re in the new “PAW Patrol” movie. And no, I’m not just singling out Kim Kardashian here. “The Mighty Movie” has a very good adult voice cast that does not necessarily deliver good performances. At one point I remember distinctly feeling that even as a Paramount film, lead dog Chase (voiced by 13-year-old Christian Convery) had no right to quote “Top Gun” with “I feel the need…for super speed!” Am I over-defensive of “Top Gun”? Yes. “PAW Patrol 2” is not a good movie, and I have multiple bones to pick. According to my family, the critics - meta and otherwise - are wrong. As Meatloaf once sang - and a reference probably only the grandparents in our theater would get - “Two out of three ain’t bad.”Īccording to critics and audiences alike, “ PAW Patrol 2” ain’t bad either Metacritic even has “The Mighty Movie” as slightly better than the original. Our 6-year-old didn’t need a nap she just needed, in order, 1) attention, 2) junk food, and 3) a good movie. A classic overbooked weekend by my wife.įormer SAG President Melissa Gilbert Dismisses Halloween Costume Restrictions as ‘Silly Bullsh*t’ The showtime was a kid-friendly one for the preschoolers who got a full nap that day with a playdate at noon, ours got all of 5 minutes of shuteye in the Cinemark parking lot. showing on its opening Saturday “PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie” would win the weekend by what IndieWire box-office reporter Tom Brueggemann called a “healthy” margin. The theater was predictably packed for the 4:15 p.m. Averse to risk, my wife and I bought insurance in the form of popcorn, Reese’s Pieces, and Twizzlers. Our trip to see “ PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie” was always going to be a gamble. That would be perfectly fine with me, except for the fact that “PAW Patrol: The Movie” is significantly more tolerable than “PAW Patrol” the series (and it’s many, many spinoffs.) The little guy ends up OK, of course (this is an animated children’s movie after all), but it caused enough trauma to effectively ban screenings in our house. She loves “ PAW Patrol,” but the franchise’s first feature film (2021) opens on a baby turtle in distress. Generally, these are the camera angles that i found while watching the film: closeup, long shot, birds eye view, over the shoulder shot, medium shots and extreme closeup.My three-year-old has a conundrum. Different camera movements has been used throughout the film and what I really liked was when the protagonist comes to find the monkey’s paw again the use of zoom has been used in that scene to tell the audience that danger is awaiting the characters. What I also noticed was whenever the director has used the over the shoulder shot to show the conversation, there’s always something bad happening after a few seconds of the conversations. Something that I noticed throughout the film was the use of over the shoulder shot which has been used several times to show the conversation between the characters. Secondly, the director has used a wide range of camera angles and movements. ![]() Another thing that I noticed was some of the sound in a few parts of the film sounded like an alarm and slightly even the siren of an ambulance which connotes that death will approach them in no time. I think the non-diegetic music has supported the film than the diegetic sound because the background music creates a sense of tension for the audience and makes them curious about whats coming next. ![]() I’d like to start off with the music specially the non-diegetic background music strongly supports the conventions of the film. In my opinion, I really like how the director has used several techniques to convey the plot. As Cobb pressures Jake into using the final wish to reunite Cobb with his son, his intimidation quickly causes and becomes into a relentless murder that forces Jake to deceive his psychotic friend and save his remaining loved ones. Jake finds his world turned upside down after his first two wishes result in co-worker Tony Cobb being resurrected from the dead. ![]() So this week, the first movie was ‘The monkey’s paw’ which was a horror/ thriller genre. The film centers on Jake Tilton, who acquires a mystical “monkey’s paw” which which is believed to contain certain magical powers or possibly offer protection from evil or harm that grants its possessor three wishes. I have decided to watch 2 movies every weekend and analyse the film as in the techniques used to create meaning and analyse the poster.
