Four weeks to go until we see the first of the three planned Star Wars “spinoff” films, Rogue One. This film about the band of Rebels and spies that steal the plans to the Death Star, kicking into motion the original film, is the kind of spinoff I’m more eager to see from these than […]
You know right after that trailer dropped last week for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY, your next thought immediately was “When will we get character posters and how many?” Well, you only had to wait for the weekend to end to be satisfied. They’re here and they’re definitely character posters for ROGUE ONE: A […]
Coming hot off the heels of its debut on Good Morning America, its the latest (And final?) trailer for the first Star Wars spin-off film, ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. This one gives us a bit of a different vibe as well as some more background on Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso. We also get […]
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ (WDAS) comedy-adventure, “Zootopia” has broken records worldwide earning more than $900 million at the global box office to date. The best reviewed movie of 2016, critics and audiences around the world have fallen in love with the wonderfully innovative animal metropolis of “Zootopia” and the comedic chemistry of rookie rabbit officer […]
Here’s a simple claim right off the bat – Zootopia is a true triumph for Disney. The animation studio has had something of a resurgence in recent years with films such as Frozen and Big Hero 6, but Zootopia feels like an actual classic. That is high praise for the Mouse House, but the balance […]
Remember Bolt? Disney’s computer animated feature about a dog that believed it had superpowers, given that he was the star of a TV series. I enjoyed that film for what it was, as it had a warm spirit and lots of humor. That in mind, it always felt like Disney taking a film like Toy […]
I posted the teaser trailer for this upcoming Disney/Marvel animated feature a couple months back and now we have a bit more information. Walt Disney Animation Studios has officially announced the voice cast behind the new action-packed comedy-adventure “Big Hero 6,” which includes Maya Rudolph, James Cromwell, Damon Wayans Jr., T.J. Miller, Alan Tudyk, Jamie […]
Disney animation made a sweeping return to form and comeback in 2013 with Frozen. The film is now the winner of 2 Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature (the other for Best Original Song for “Let It Go”). Not only did the film receive high praise and reviews from critics, but it was a sensation […]
For its 18th DC Universe Animated Original movie, they have adapted Justice League: Origins. This feels kind of like a timely “plant the seeds for later” type release as we all know their ultimate goal is to make a live action Justice League movie. Justice League: War is the name and bringing it to life […]
Walt Disney Animation Studios presents a chilly twist on one of the most humorous and heartwarming stories ever told. Fearless optimist Anna sets off on an epic journey — teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff and his loyal reindeer Sven — to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of […]
I will get this out of the way: I really liked the fact that Frozen was an animated Disney film that did not rely on the death of a parent as a major plot point and that it did not end with a big wedding. Not all Disney films have this, but Frozen stuck out […]
It’s surprising it took so long to get a film based on Jackie Robinson joining “white baseball” produced. For many years, auteur Spike Lee had attempted but not been able to get one off the ground. 2013 finally gave us a Jackie Robinson film. 42 boasted the highest grossing opening weekend and the 2nd highest […]
I don’t acknowledge this very often, but I like to bookend my reviews with quotes from the film. Sometimes they sum up the film in a sense and other times they are just quotes I enjoyed the most. The two I have chosen for 42, a film that chronicles the introduction of Jackie Robinson into […]
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy-winning director Rich Moore (TV’s “The Simpsons,” “Futurama”) take movie fanson a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in “Wreck-It Ralph.” Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Step Brothers) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, “30 Rock”), the “good guy” […]
The arrival of a new Ice Age film is not something that initially thrilled me. I enjoyed the first film in the series, but was let down by the sequel, which led to me not even bothering with the third entry in the franchise. Still, given the opportunity to see this latest entry, ‘Continental Drift’, […]

So here is another 2012 movie that seems to be tailored for me to really enjoy it. As ParaNorman delivered a fun zombie movie in a stop-motion world (with dramatic arcs and solid messages as a bonus) and Seven Psychopaths delivered on my love for darkly humorous hit man comedies (with dramatic arcs and a […]
The Will Smith sci-fi blockbuster I, Robot is returning to Blu-ray with an all new 3D edition this October. Earlier in the Summer, it was revealed that a limited edition of this 3D Blu-ray, complete with a replica robot head (check it out HERE), would be available at San Diego Comic Con. Now everyone will […]
