6 July 2009 7:17 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" bested over "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" at the North American box office in the end. On Monday, July 6, the action fantasy movie from director Michael Bay claimed the crown for a second consecutive weekend, breaking studio estimates on Sunday, July 5, which placed the two movies in a tie with each predicted to earn $42.5 million worth of ticket sales.
Closing the Fourth of July weekend in the first place, the "Transformers" sequel pulled ahead of the third "Ice Age" once the final figures came in. It brought in as much as $42.3 million over the three days weekend to add to the $293.4 million total cume for the North American sales only. After 12 days of release, it has also become the biggest film of the year worldwide with an overall sales that worth $593.8 million.

Mammoths Tango With Robots
6 July 2009 10:45 AM, PDT | From Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news
For the first time which in this reporter’s opinion seems to be a long while is a tie for first over this past 4th of July weekend. Dreamworks’ Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ties up with the robot-clad Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen both coming in with 42.5 million each. The third installment of the Ice Age animated trilogy involves the fuzzy mammoth Manny (Ray Romano) and his wife Ellie (Queen Latifah) expecting, while Sid (John Leguizamo) gets himself into some big time hijinks that even his friend Diego (Dennis Leary) cannot save him out of as they discover a world underneath them of dinosaurs. Even though Ice Age 3 did have a really strong opening, especially on this past holiday weekend, Transformers 2 definitely is starting to loose steam which is most likely coming from the big time negative reviews on the flick.

Movie Review: “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”
1 July 2009 8:30 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news
Seen on: July 1, 2009
The players: Directors: Carlos Saldanha, Mike Thurmeier, Writers: Michael Berg, Peter Ackerman, Mike Reiss, Voice cast: Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah, Simon Pegg
Facts of interest: None whatsoever.
The plot: Sid, Manny, Ellie and Diego are back in action, and this time, they end up trapped in a scary place inhabited by angry dinosaurs.
Our thoughts: The time has come for this “Ice Age” to end. Neither inventive nor in any way entertaining, Carlos Saldanha’s “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” is merely a product of a studio sacrificing compelling storytelling for the sake of making tons of moola at the box office. In the end, there’s nothing passionate or amusing about this sequel… only more of the same.

'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' web reviews
1 July 2009 1:04 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news
Carlos Saldanha is back with "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," the latest installment in the popular animated series. The flick features the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah and Simon Pegg, and here's what some of the Web's critics think about the sequel:
• William Goss at Cinematical: "All in all, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an improvement over its massively forgettable predecessor: generally inoffensive (save perhaps for history buffs), a bit more charming than most of the non-Pixar competition, and frivolous in the best possible sense."
• Mack Rawden at CinemaBlend: "Lazy, transparent, disposable and at its worst, boring, Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs is a sometimes beautiful piece of animation consistently ruined by unfocused directing, bizarre editing choices, phoned-in voice acting, and a script which is neither witty nor filled with momentum."
• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "I enjoyed the first Ice Age

HuffPost Review: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
1 July 2009 12:13 PM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is the third go-round for the trio of computer-animated prehistoric heroes, one that moves them into a new dimension, adding both 3D and dinosaurs to the mix. Initially a comedy about an unlikely group of animal friends -- a wooly mammoth, a sabre-tooth tiger and a sloth -- the franchise expanded in the second installment, adding a female mammoth and her two friends, primordial possums, to the menagerie. As this third episode begins, Manny the mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano) and his mate, Ellie (Queen Latifah), are expecting a baby. Diego the tiger (Denis Leary) feels as though he's losing his edge by hanging around such domesticated types; he can't even outrun antelope anymore. And Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) worries about being left out when Manny and Ellie have their baby, while his urge to...

Review: Ice Age Critters Lose Their Edge in 3-D Sequel
1 July 2009 8:10 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news
Review in a Hurry: Though it's not as obnoxious as the trailers might imply, the latest animated adventures of a motley mammalian menagerie from prehistoric times (Ray Romano and Queen Latifah as mammoths, Denis Leary as a sabertooth, and John Leguizamo as a sloth) are about as exciting as watching snow melt. The Bigger Picture: The latest rumors have it that a possible fourth installment in the Ice Age saga will begin with our protagonists preserved in a modern-day museum. There could be no more apt metaphor for a franchise that already feels like a dusty relic, despite the new 3-D gimmick. Aside from the diverse voice cast, the initial appeal of the Ice Age movies was its setting—prehistoric monsters have...

Atomic Team Review: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
1 July 2009 7:33 AM, PDT | From Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news
Philip Barrett: I’d never been introduced to the Ice Age films until this most recent outing. Oh sure, I’d heard of them and was mildly interesting in seeing the first one, but for whatever reason I never got to it. The first did receive pretty decent reviews while the second was pretty much reviled by anyone under seven. Fox still thinks there’s an appeal (or they heard the term “Strike!”) and have decided to give us a third entry in the franchise.
Andy Gathman: I saw the first Ice Age when we were visiting relatives and my then-three-year-old happened upon the movie box and insisted on watching it with us. Though he was enthralled, laughing wildly throughout, I felt I could take it or leave it. It seemed very much a movie for children and not nearly as well developed as, say, Shrek (Dreamworks) or Finding Nemo

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Directed by: Carlos Saldanha
Cast: Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, Simon Pegg
Running Time: 1 hr 35 mins
Rating: PG
Release Date: July 1, 2009
Plot: Manny (Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah) are expecting a little mammoth. Lost in preparations, the herd begins to disintegrate. Then Sid (Leguizamo) steals some T-Rex eggs and before he knows it, is whisked off to a subterranean dinosaur haven. He’s about to become a sloth burger, so the rest of the herd heads off after him with the help of a weasel that’s out of his mind (Pegg).
Who’s It For? Did you see either of the first two Ice Age movies? What if you could splice The Land Before Time in the middle and make it 3D? If that sounds good, then yeah, you’ll like this.
Expectations: I really enjoyed the first Ice Age movie, and the second as well,

Movie Review - 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'
1 July 2009 1:07 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Starring Ray Romano, Denis Leary, and John Leguizamo
Directed by Carlos Saldanha
Rated PG
The first two Ice Age movies were modest distractions not intended to be viewed more seriously, the way Pixar films are now revered. But there’s certainly a place at the movies for a series like this, one with goofy jokes aimed primarily at kids that isn’t bucking for awards and respect.
The third Ice Age, subtitled Dawn of the Dinosaurs, is perfectly acceptable, too, in a series that doesn't have a lot of highs or lows. It moves pleasantly along, doesn’t make anyone think too hard, and looks good, even in 3-D. For 90 minutes, it gets your kids out of the heat.
There are a few good moments, and it never gets so dreary that there the natives will get restless. The regulars are back, including Ray Romano as Manny the mammoth,

Few days prior to "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" theatrical release, Yahoo! Movies has got a hold on an exclusive inside look at the animated comedy about three misfit friends living during the Ice Age era. Coming out in the form of a featurette, the inside look video features many fresh footage as well as partial interview with many of the film's voice talents and director.
Speaking up first is director Carlos Saldanha, who promises that "Dawn of the Dinosaurs" is made on a bigger scale compared to the first two "Ice Age" movies with the addition of Dinosaurs for the trio's new adventures. John Leguizamo, who gives voice to Sid, then takes over, explaining that this third movie will have a lot of action sequences, before Queen Latifah, who voices Ellie, states the pregnancy story.
Beside those three, Ray Romano, who lends his voice for Manny, and Simon Pegg,

John Leguizamo on Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

John Leguizamo likes to transform himself into other characters. His one man shows often feature him in multiple roles. When he plays Sid the Sloth in the Ice Age movies, it.s another immersive performance. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was easy to return to.
John Leguizamo Talks Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
.It.s harder to get out of character than it is for me to be into character,. Leguizamo said. .I end up talking like thish for about a week. I realize, oh shoot, I.m still [lisping]. I even hear myself right now sounding like that. So that.s what happens for me..
