Boo Crew
On October - 5 - 2009
The Boo Crew are some random Halloween Monsters I drew while bored at work one day. I was thinking of adding a wolfman in bear claw slippers and a house coat, and maybe a vampire with lots of bling.

Movie Review – Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs
On October - 4 - 2009
First off… WOW! From the original concept art I saw a few years ago, and the trailers… I thought, ok, an other cute and mediocre Sony animated flick… was I ever wrong!
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, is a film based on a children’s book written by Judi Barrett and illustrated by Ron Barrett. Now, the movie follows the character, Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader), as he sets about creating a machine that mutates water into food. Flint types a recipe code into his computer, presses a big red button, and voila, instant meal from the heavens.
After an unfortunate incident with the machine and the town’s unavailing of it’s new Sardine World theme park, burgers start raining from the sky. At first no one seems to worry about bringing their lunch to work; but a glitch in the computer program means that the food keeps getting bigger and more plentiful, to the point where pancakes are flattening entire subdivisions as maple syrup floods the streets and residents slip into food comas.
In comes a cute and perky weather girl (voiced by Anna Faris), which ends up becoming the love interest of Flint’s.
We saw the movie in IMAX 3D, and unfortunately, this is one film, that didn’t really need this treatment, as they didn’t really take advantage of the technology. It is a cute and cartoony film that I absolutely recommend.
Some other noteworthy voice actors in this film included, Neil Patrick Harris as Steve the Monkey (now one of my all time favorite side characters), James Caan as Tim Lockwood, Flint’s widower technophobic father. Bruce Campbell as Mayor Shelbourne, Mr. T as Officer Earl Devereaux, Benjamin Bratt as Manny the camera man/doctor/pilot/comedian, and Al Roker as Patrick Patrickson, the Anchorman.
