Rio [DVD]

Product Information

Director Carlos Saldanda certainly made a fast paced adventure with a great amount of velvet colour. Rock in Rio is a recurring music festival held at the City of Rock (Cidade do Rock) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

There she encounters alcoholic American engineer Bill Gregory (Robert Cummings), on an extended bender after a bridge he designed collapsed. But formula does not have to be bad and when done right it can easily lead to an enjoyable film for all the family.Blu the Spix's Macaw's (Jesse Eisenberg) early life is tragic, having fledging from his nest too early and been kidnapped by poachers. My personal favourites were the double act Kipo (Robin Thicke) and Marcel (Carlos Ponce) who were the dumb henchmen for the poacher and outsmarted by a cockatoo. The animation of the parrots climbing is particularly well done and true to live to anyone who has ever own one. Irene, meanwhile, has resumed her singing career, at Roberto’s Café, where Dirk works as a bartender.

Compared to Hathaway she is a feisty, strong female character who wants to explore and distrusts humans. The role of Irene had been earmarked for Danielle Darrieux, the great French star whose 80-year career stretched from 1931 to 2010, seven years before her death at 100. Sentenced to a long prison term on Devil’s Island, he asks Dirk (Victor McLaglen), his inexplicably devoted valet and bodyguard, to look after Reynaud’s wife, Irene (Sigrid Gurie), hoping she’ll soon forget him.

Though I do question why ornithologists did not question why they had an injured cockatoo considering the species is native to Australia and New Guinea (but this is a minor issue). Its Production Code-mandated resolution so preordained, the script is forced into directions that neatly tie everything up but in the least interesting and satisfying way imaginable. Pop-culture references are toned down and there are a few musical numbers which is rare in CGI animated features.

He then commits an act of violence so out of the blue—and, ultimately, one that serves no purpose at all—that it leaves the film nowhere to go from there.Rathbone plays Paul Reynaud, a Bernie Madoff-type Parisian financier arrested for embezzlement and forgery, causing a huge scandal in France’s banking industry and rampant personal bankruptcies among Paris’s millionaires, some of whom commit suicide.
