Strange Magic movie review: bad spell
Apparently this was inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but it has about as much in common with that as Burger King does with Macbeth.
Brave
New York Times critic AO Scott is all boo-hoo waaaa grrl power
Do you imagine that anyone — any single person — will accuse Scott of dragging feminism into everything?
Frozen review: I have chills
The showstopping central musical number is a glorious anthem to female power and ability… and so, in fact, is the whole wonderful movie. Disney is finally getting it. (new DVD/VOD US/Can)
Frozen trailer: Brave on ice
Did I just see that? While the graybeards stand around crying that someone must do something, the feisty girl goes out on her own to save the day?
Grand Unified Pixar: insane… and kind of brilliant, too
It all begins with the witch from Brave… and then it gets really crazy…
the 85th Academy Award nominees
With links to my reviews. I’ll be adding reviews of the last few films I haven’t yet covered between now and the Oscars.
question of the day: What do you think of the Golden Globe winners (and losers)?
Feel free to talk about the TV side as well, if you like…
question of the day: Why do we consider animated movies to be kiddie flicks or “for families”?
What will it take for the assumption to stop being automatic? An R-/15-rated animated film? Is such a thing even possible in the existing business environment for films?
“Journalist Wanted. No Pay.” ugh (and other adventures in social networking)
Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Doctor Who thing of the day: if the Doctors were Disney princesses
I’m not quite sure what to make of this…
