EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
'Ralph'a must see
ALEX LAMB
alamb@kansan.com
Remember that feeling the original "Toy Story" evoked? It gave children a look inside a world they'd always imagined, made even more exciting by all the recognizable real toys it featured. Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" provides a similar experience, except with what kids move on to after their toys: video games.
After 30 years wrecking buildings while the hero of his game, Fix-It Felix Jr. (Jack McBrayer), repairs them and saves the day, Ralph is tired of being an outcast of society and wants to play the hero for once. So he breaks game world rules and jumps into an alien first-person shooter to acquire a winner's medal.
But his clumsiness winds up
Behind the glass screens of arcade machines, the game characters have lives of their own. "Wreck-It Ralph" opens with the title character (voiced by John C. Reilly) at a meeting of Bad Guys Anonymous, with the likes of a "Pac-Man" ghost, Dr. Eggman, Bowser and other various villains.
landing him in a "Mario Kart"-like game where he must help a little girl (Sarah Silverman) become a racer in order to reclaim his medal. All the while, Felix and the FPS leader (Jane Lynch) must track him down before Ralph's absence ends his own game.
Much of the fun in "Wreck-It Ralph" comes from the fully realized world of the movie, which is full of references and characters from all over the video game realm. The send-ups of gaming culture start on a wider scale at first, ranging everywhere from "Q*bert" to "Street Fighter" to "Root Beer Tapper." Then the subtextual jokes focus in more on specific aspects of gaming as the story progresses, like characters not moving fluidly, glitches and the programming code of a game.
The first half is more entertaining for this reason, particularly for those who recognize all the references to other games. But the second half makes up for the lack of game-jumping with a surprising emotional core as Reilly and Silverman comically play off each other and even bring a few tears to the eye.
The inspired sense of creativity throughout stands out above all else. Director Rich Moore has a nostalgic reverence for the beloved characters featured and for the tropes of video games, and it shows in the cleverly hilarious humor. Several subtly-implemented twists especially elevate the final act and tie everything together in a very satisfying manner.
For any video game fan, this is a must see. But "Wreck-It Ralph" at its heart is a story about two outsiders searching for acceptance. So even for all non-gamers, this still holds up as one of Disney's more unique animated films, absolutely worth playing.

FILM
Connery as the unflappable lady-killer with a license to kill, dispatched to the Caribbean to stop a madman from disrupting U.S. missile launches was enough of a success that another Bond movie, "From Russia With Love," followed.
Next James Bond movie opens in theaters Friday
On Friday, "Skyfall," the 23rd 007 enterprise, with Daniel Craig in his third turn as the British intelligence operative, opens in theaters the 50th anniversary of the formidable franchise. To date, the Bond movies have earned more than $5 billion in worldwide box office.
PHILADELPHIA — "I wish I had had James Bond on my staff," John F. Kennedy is quoted as saying in the midst of the Cuban missile crisis, when war with Russia looked imminent. "Dr. No," the first of the 007 movies based on Ian Fleming's spy books, had just opened October 1962 in theaters in the United Kingdom.
"Dr. No" released the following May in the United States, and starring Sean

"lan Fleming created an amazing character," says Craig, who has followed in the footsteps and the tailored suits of Connery, George Lazenby (an Aussie, and the forgotted Bond, appearing only in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"), Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. "There's this internal conflict in the way Fleming wrote Bond," Craig said in an interview.

Mumford & Sons reflect on newest alum, 'Babel'
LOS ANGELES — Describing the latest album from his band Mumford & Sons, Ben Lovett sidesteps much of the language artists often use to talk about their music. The 26-year-old keyboardist says that the record was "forced out of this internal desire to prove that we have many songs in us."
