Hands down the best animated film of the year (unless Persepolis blows me away whenever I get to see it) and probably the best since Brad Bird’s last film, the masterpiece that is The Incredibles, Ratatouille is a fantastic story about rats, cooking, and believing in anyone.We follow two main characters in this film Remy […]
Possibly the best movie of the summer, and almost a lock for my top 10 of the year, Bourne comes to your home on DVD this week and I will use this opportunity to right my review of the film.Bourne is just as kid the second time around and surprisingly still very intense. That was […]
This is a great article that I came across that is full of a ton of the Pixar film in-jokes and nods to one another. I didn’t know about quite a few of them and it was a fun read. Jim Hill, the author, wrote this as he tried to solve a bet to find […]

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp re-team for their 6th film together, and is my favorite Burton film since Big Fish, and is probably right there with Big Fish for his second best film behind Ed Wood.The film is an adaptation of the Broadway show of the same name and is a full blown musical, so […]
Sidney Lumet’s new film is an interesting take on the crime drama, by taking a small simple crime and examining the consequences of what can happen if everything went wrong.
