Hoppers

Hoppers; Story, message and entertainment blend in the same Pixar manner we’ve cherished for three decades now. The 30th film comes in just below the studio’s legacy best, but right on par with some of its greatest hits. Fun and silly while still grounded in emotional reality, it’s pure enjoyment; A
 

Bride of Chucky

Directed by:  Ronny Yu
Starring:  Jennifer Tilly, Brad Dourif, John Ritter, Kathy Najimy
Running Time:  1h 30min

A hilarious self-mocking installment of the little doll that could, thanks in part to the post-Scream boom in horror films.  And thankfully so.  This series has never been more fun than in this age where horror films are appreciated for what they are, solid entertainment.  I don't think I've had this much fun at a horror movie since I donned 3D glasses for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3.  Having another doll for Chucky to play off of was brilliant, but the sex scene was just pure genious!  In fact, the whole kid's toy coming to life to kill thing is better here than anywhere.  Small Soldiers certainly could have used some of the gimmicks this film did.  Truly a pleasure, you can be sure I'll be there to see Son of Chucky.
