Convincing them all to do a full review for the film proved to be much harder. However, he did manage to squeeze a single sentence out of each of them. Think of this as your furry version of Rotten Tomatoes.]]> http://www.weaselwordsmith.com/2010/08/05/how-many-furries-does-it-take-to-review-a-kid-film/ The Peculiar Quandary of Simon Artyle fits the bill.]]> http://www.weaselwordsmith.com/2010/08/03/want-a-glass-of-milk-to-go-with-it/ Marvel vs Capcom 3. So far the roster has been pretty standard, with one major exception: there's a big white wolf god on the list.]]> http://www.weaselwordsmith.com/2010/07/22/marvel-vs-capcom-3-gets-way-more-furry/ Predators still felt like a “mixed bag” movie to me. It did some things right, a lot of things just okay, but thankfully, it never really went in the wrong direction at any point in time.

Who remakes a TV series into a film? Plenty of people have used film to extend the stories of cancelled shows. And other people use movies to adapt written word to a visual medium. But Avatar: The Last Airbender is already a visual medium, with a finished story that doesn't benefit from a white kid with leukemia and that Indian guy from The Daily Show.]]> http://www.weaselwordsmith.com/2010/07/03/somehow-worse-than-the-happening/ Toy Story 3 tries to do something pretty brave: it attempts to age in real time, with as much time passing in-universe since the previous film as has passed in real life. Something similar was tried with the Harry Potter books, but while that mostly resulted in the books getting overlong and less well edited, with Toy Story 3, it actually succeeds. ]]> http://www.weaselwordsmith.com/2010/07/01/putting-away-the-toys/
