Be Prepared To Run and Play With ‘African Cats’

I think the aspect I enjoyed most about Disneynature’s third major Earth Day release, African Cats, is how they tried to create a narrative through line for it.  A lot of nature documentaries simply present the facts, while showing you some shots of creatures and environments, but this film (even if it cheats a bit) […]

Favreau Turns Iron Man 2 Into Gold

In 2008, Iron Man was released to an audience that wasn’t very familiar with the character and with a lead actor that had a history of personal demons that never allowed him to achieve the success his talent deserved.  It turned out to be an explosive combination that raked in over $535 million worldwide.  By […]
