Ted the Talking Bear
John makes a Christmas miracle happen by bringing his one and only friend to life, his teddy bear. The two grow up together and John must then choose to stay with his girlfriend or keep his friendship with his crude and extremely inappropriate teddy bear, Ted.

I just want to state off hand that this is my first movie review, well other than just telling someone what I thought. So if you are looking for a well written, witty review then.. you might want to stop reading now. But since this movie is still in production, this will probably be your best bet for the time being.

I just went to a free screening of Ted at the Greenback theater in Sacramento, CA. And I just have to say off the bat, I LOVED it. A movie hasn't made me laugh that hard in a long time. Now, I'm not going to give you any more information than the description because with the movie not even being released yet, I think that would be a spoiler of some sort. But I will tell you that was so much better than what I imagined it would be, granted that was before I knew it was directed and voiced over by Seth Macfarlane. So if you're a fan of his, you're definitely in for a treat, and even if you're not I still think you would enjoy the innovative comedy that comes from a snarky and crude teddy bear companion. The acting was very solid, from main characters to jerk bosses, and crazy.. well, crazy people.. the acting was very convincing and enjoyable. The story was great, while it might sound stupid to some, myself included, it's very well executed. Definitely not one of the movies that left me thinking "the idea was good, but they could have done so much more with it", it was actually quite the opposite. And this is certainly not a low budget film, the CGI animation reflects this. The furry bear voiced by Macfarlane is very realistic and believable.

The only drawback I could possibly see that would cause someone displeasure would be, like a lot of new comedies, this film pushes the envelope in

    Thus, it’s way more fun to knock this film than to pick out the brief (and I do mean brief) glimmers of light that barely manage to sneak through the dark void that is this unfunny monstrosity. Who the more diminishing actor is - out of Zac Efron, Adam DeVine, Anna Kendrick, and Aubrey Plaza, is clearly a roll of the dice. The acting is exasperating - as is the general film itself. There’s nothing special about the plot, and if there’s only one meaningful thing to take away from this film - it’s that this is a perfect example of how to make a dumb, artless movie. In the end, I implore you to avoid this film - even if you - as I did - thought the movie trailer looked funny. You’ll be doing yourself and your pocketbook a monumental…

    The actors casting was fitting for the traits of the characters. Maggie Gyllenhaal did an outstanding job playing the baker Anna Paskel. Emma Thompson did a stupendous job playing the madly creative mind of Karen Eiffel. It was hard to process that the comically famous actor, Will Ferrell, played the role of the shy, quiet, repetitive character of Harold Crick. Yet, he did a tremendous job, showing that he is an extremely accomplished actor and proving to us all, that he can grasp us just as well emotionally, as humorously. The script is brilliantly laid out, in a way that makes you think, but not too much. This film has the whole package deal, suspense, sci-fi, romance, and comedy. This is a must see film that will never cease to disappoint…

    Ted Bundy

    • 2107 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Murder is the most vindictive crime society can commit. As individuals in society, the belief of being born a murderer is false. No one is born a murderer; society gives birth to that murderer. In Ted Bundy's case the lack of parental guidance and constant rejection of women contributed to him evolving into a vicious serial killer. Bundy was a man who let his fantasies run his life, he believed that life was a game. All this contributed to making Bundy revengeful, bitter, and not quite mentally stable. Bundy took countless numbers of young female lives in the 70's. This man seemed to have a highly unstable personality and was often confused in life, some have suggested that, "Bundy was insane and that he should have been in a mental institution." Bundy was executed in 1989 in Florida for his crimes, but the real question is what really made this vicious man tick? Ted Bundy went down in history as one of the most brutal serial killers of the 20th century (AP 10).…

    Ted Bundy

    • 3 Pages

    Ted Bundy was one of the most notorious serial killers in the United States of America. Bundy confessed to thirty murders, but it is assumed that he may have killed between twenty six and one hundred people between 1974 and 1978 (Wikipedia). All the people that Ted Bundy killed were young white middle-class women. According to the text the rational choice theory is the view that crime is a function of a decision-making process in which the potential offender weighs the potential costs and benefits of an illegal act. Evaluating Ted Bundy according to the rational choice theory, he knew what he was doing weighed his options, picked how he would attack kill and rape his victims. He meticulously sought out his victims. Typically Bundy would bludgeon his victims, strangle them to death then rape them or engage in necrophilia. According to this theory he fully planned out each attack knowing that it was wrong, illegal, and immoral.…

    "The Bear," which is a classic one-act play written 1900, is one of the great works of Anton Chekhov, which is very much about a widowed woman. The Bear can be regarded as a comedy since it is to give the audience entertainment and amusement. This comedy reveals the fine line between anger and passion. The theme is about a strange beginning of love between Mrs. Popov and Smirnov. It demonstrated that love changes all things it touches such as human. Dialogue of the characters, the action of the characters, and the characters themselves shape the theme.
