Homer, the unconventional hero

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2011)

The beloved yellow family is here, this time on the big screen.Homer (Dan Castellaneta), Marge (Julie Kavner), Bart (Nancy Cartwright), Lisa (Yeardley Smith) and Maggie are living their comfortable life in Springfield.And all those other familiar characters, including Mr. Flanders (Harry Shearer), Moe and Apu (Hank Azaria).Also Green Day and Tom Hanks visit the town.Every good movie needs its villain, in this one it's a man called Russ Cargill (Albert Brooks).Homer causes some tremendous environmental damage.Cargill and President Arnold Schwarzenegger (you read it right) have a dome placed over Springfield.Therefore Grampa's prophetic vision he had at the church becomes real.The Simpsons family manages to get out, and they head to Alaska.Later Homer has to safe the day, and Springfield, when the new plan is to explode it.The Simpsons Movie (2007) is directed by David Silverman.It's produced by a bunch of people.It's written by a bunch of people.Hans Zimmer is the music man.And Danny Elfman.The movie succeeds to provide a few laughs.It begins with a funny Itchy and Scratchy movie.Homer whipping the dogs makes you laugh, except maybe not the animal rights fighters.The Spider Pig is almost a classic.The Simpsons fans just heard good news, that the show will run for another two seasons, at least.Now this show created by Matt Groening is on its 23rd season.The show has been a part of my life for the past 20 years.I guess this movie just had to happen at some point, and I'm glad it turned out to be pretty good.The only question in my mind right now is, in the words of Maggie: Sequel? The latest info says it should be out in 2012, which means next year.Before that we can all entertain ourselves by singing the song, that's stuck in our heads for good."Spider pig Spider Pig/Does whatever a Spider Pig does..."
