RIO TIDBITS
The movie is directed by Carlos Saldanha who brought us delightful ICE AGE MELTDOWN and ICE AGE DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS. It is the last movie that Don Rhymer (SURF'S UP, BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE) wrote before his recent death.

Why does Topher Grace look like he's trapped in a Gap ad?
ReplyDeletebecause he has taste :P Wenty Miller has similar photo shoots, they've both been Gap's stars.... That would be my personal style too :)
Deleteyes, the gap!
Deleteyou no likey Gap, J-man?
DeleteRio 2 is a must for my kiddos.
ReplyDeleteme being among the kiddos :) It's contagiously hilarious :)
DeleteRio 2 looks like fun. I like those birdies!!!
ReplyDeleteespecially the villainous white parrot, he is so delightfully crazy :) threatening his enemies with poop.... :)
DeleteSounds like a good project for Reese Witherspoon. And I love the music in Rio 2! :)
ReplyDeletemakes you wanna shake your tail feathers, doesn't it? :)
DeleteI'm tired of Reese ever since her husband had that unfortunate DUI incident where she made sure everyone knew who she was. How rude!!!!
ReplyDeleteyep, sometimes they show their true faces when we do not expect it. Like ex sweetchild Miley Cyrus who is currently acting disgustingly and shamelessly towards the good old Sinead O'Connor who just wanted to give her a well-meant advice since the little brat is obviously missing some parenting....
Deletei think topher got a little too big for his own good, leaving that 70's show was a hurt. when his return was with an awful 80's styled movie... yes it was awful. now i do wish him luck back on the little stage, at least he can swear... cause it's hbo.
ReplyDeleteI like Topher a lot, there is something very warm and kind in him, wish he would get more movie roles.
DeleteRio 2 great moment for the family , great trailer Dezmond
ReplyDeleteCheers .
the kids will love it, Vincent
DeleteI really liked the first rio
ReplyDeleteme too, Adam
DeleteAwesome I love Rio I get goose pimples when I hear that opening music!
ReplyDeleteit is such fun, the kids will enjoy it and the dad will too, I bet :)
DeleteI love the idea of the Happily Ever After concept. Hope it's good! And Yay! Another Rio? We really loved the first one!
ReplyDeletethe family will enjoy the sequel too :)
DeleteRIO 2 looks like a cute movie and your introduction made me giggle and start playing the lead song on my BAD BOYS II soundtrack in my head, lol.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen the first one (didn't pay much attention to it when it came out, to tell you the truth) though and I wonder if it's one of the movies that I have to watch in sequence.
Reese Witherspoon is an interesting casting choice for a Disney fairyale but I am interested to see how she pulls it off. I love me some Topher Grace and am excited to see him back in comedy, so I'm gonna give this new sitcom a looksee, in hopes that it is strong enough to stick around for an entire season...or more.

We do love those songs :)
DeleteI'm always for animated movies, even when the story is not so good, the colours and beautiful visuals are worth the watch.
We do love Topher a lot
I'm looking forward to RIO 2 despite the fact that it's spearheaded by the much loathed Fox News group owned by Rupert Murdoch.
ReplyDeleteYour Andrew Christian ads are so tame. I mean, come on! I go to Andrew Christian so I can see outlines of modern day Greek gods through fabric so transparent it might as well be cellophane. Poo on you, Andrew Christian. I am disappoint.
who is Andrew Christian, Michael? Google Ads aren't chosen by me, but by the publishers and they different depending from which country your computer is logged in. which means that a Bulgarian visitors would see mostly Bulgarian ads here, while an American one would see American ads :)
DeleteBeen quite a while since I saw Topher.
ReplyDeleteit's always good to see him
DeleteRIO 2 looks absolutely delightful! And I will be going to see it :)
ReplyDeleteSuch delight, such delight :)
DeleteRio 2 should be good. Kids will love all the color!
ReplyDeleteyou might have to buy Bubba a blue Tshirt after the film :)
DeleteI"m a Reese Witherspoon fan. She's underrated as an actress, but I can totally see her in a Disney fairy tale.
ReplyDeleteRio 2 looks better than the first one!
she has a lot of very serious movie project coming up, so this one will be a nice respite from the sombre topics in her future films
DeleteCute trailer. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethe kittens will love it too :)
DeleteI'd like to see how the Happily Ever After comes out. I like the idea.
ReplyDeletehope they don't end up divorced :)
DeleteI think Reese would suit that movie perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWoo at Rio2!!!!
now, there's a rhyme :)
DeleteI like Reese Witherspoon (arrest incident aside) and of this group, that is probably the only one I'll see.
ReplyDeleteshe really was naughty in that incident
