10 Movie and TV Picks for February10 of 10
Early Man | Opens in U.S. Theaters on Friday, Feb. 16
As a lifelong fan of Aardman Animations, I could not wait to see the latest film from Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park, and I was not disappointed. Described by Park in our trailer with commentary as a "prehistoric underdog sports movie," it features the voice talents of Eddie Redmayne as caveman Dug and Tom Hiddleston as the wicked Lord Nooth. When Nooth plans to steal land from Dug and his tribe, the dispute comes down to a game of football. Luckily, talented player Goona (voiced by "Game of Thrones’" Maisie Williams) offers to train the tribe of lovable lunkheads. One Aardman animator described their approach to me as "funny and thumby," meaning they want you to see the thumbprints on the Plasticine, and it's this passion that puts their movies in a league of their own. It's also really funny! — Michael
