Movie Review: Disney-Pixar’s ‘Monsters University’ Starring Billy Crystal, John Goodman
It has been nearly 12 years since Monsters Inc. hit theaters. It was only Pixar’s fourth film, following the first and second Toy Story movie, as well as A Bugs Life. Although Pixar didn’t seem fond sequels at first, with Cars 2 being the only exception to the rule, we are getting a Finding Nemo […]
Disney-Pixar’s MONSTERS UNIVERSITY World Premiere Tailgate Party at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood
It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly 12 years since Monsters Inc. hit theaters. It was only Pixar’s fourth feature, releasing fresh off the success of Toy Story 2. By that time the young company had already made a name for itself, and it seemed they could do no wrong. It scored a […]
‘Finding Dory,’ Sequel to ‘Finding Nemo’ Announced by Disney-Pixar for 2015
This week Disney-Pixar announced that they are working on a feature-length sequel to the 2003 Oscar award winning Finding Nemo. The film will not revolve around Nemo and his father Marlin however, but rather their forgetful companion Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres). Director Andrew Stanton returns to direct, this time without co-director Lee Unkrich (Toy […]
‘Despicable Me 2’ Poster and Trailer (Steve Carell, Al Pacino, Kristen Wiig)
Forget for a moment that children’s film is using Eminem for their latest trailer, and instead focus on the actual content presented. 2010’s Despicable Me was a bit of a surprise for most folks. It was an animated film that wasn’t a Pixar production, but did solid numbers at the box office. The film also […]
Movie Review: Disney-Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Misses the Target
There is no doubt that Pixar has set the bar high. There was a time where it seemed like they couldn’t lose, releasing film after film that would become an instant classic. From the first Toy Story movie until Toy Story 3, every movie was received with almost no complaints from critics, with the exception […]
How Did ‘Rock of Ages’ and ‘That’s My Boy’ Do Against Last Week’s Top Films At The Box Office?
This week’s two big releases had enough star power to propel them to the top of the box office, but did the word of mouth on previous weeks releases keep them from making money? Rock of Ages had the draw of Tom Cruise, “classic” 80’s music, and a built in audience from the stage show. […]
I Love Posters: Featuring “The Loved Ones”, “Moonrise Kingdom”, “The Raven” and more
I love posters. Just like the above title suggests. Some posters are especially terrible. Some posters are beyond awesome. Unfortunately, I am quickly running out of space on my walls for all the posters I have now. Which only means one thing: I need a bigger room for all my cool movie stuff. Or just […]
First Look at Pixar’s Newest Film ‘Brave’
Sypnopsis provided by Pixar: Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer […]
Review: Disney-Pixar’s ‘Cars 2’ Starring Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine
As a child I was a constant source of academic disappointment to my parents; a perennial underachiever. I didn’t get bad grades, mind you. I was solid B-student. Sure, I could have gotten an “A” with a modicum of effort but if I could pull a “B” (or the occasional “C”) with little to no […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Cars 2
Cars 2 is fun, funny, fast paced, and an exciting spy movie that improves upon the original Cars and has fun with the genre its playing in; while turning in some quality set pieces that a lot of action movies wish they had. The original Cars has grown on me every time I’ve seen it […]
