Independence Spotlight: Persistence of Vision (2012)

My last feature film at the Giraf festival was this documentary directed by Kevin Schreck on Richard Williams’ would be masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler.     

Independence Spotlight: The Congress (2013)

Continuing my time at the Giraf festival I went to see the latest film by director Ari Folman.  It’s beautiful, thought provoking, and the first in the category I’ve lovingly decided to call “what on Earth did I just watch?”

Short Subject: Chief Your Butt’s on Fire (2013)

Well I had the pleasure of attending the Giraf Animation Film Festival recently and they had the world premiere of Steve Moore’s latest short film.

Let’s Review a TV Series: Mummies Alive

Well last year around this time I looked at the first season of the Legend of Korra.  While the second season of that show certainly has lots to be discussed it’s still airing and will have to wait.  So instead I’m jumping in the way back machine and going all the way back to 1997 to talk about the one and only season of Mummies Alive.  And hey mummies are a scary monster staple and totally appropriate for Halloween.

Short Subject: The Skeleton Dance (1929)

Welcome to a new idea for the blog where I’m taking a look at short films all on their own.  Today I’m looking at a short that is totally appropriate for this spooky season.

Let’s Review a Movie: All About Eve (1950)

So today I’m looking at the winner of the 1950 Oscar for best picture and the movie that is tied with Titanic for the most Oscar nominations in history.

Let’s Review a Movie: The Rescuers Down Under (1990)

Finally after a summer of bad and mediocre sequels I’m going to review something awesome!

Let’s Review a Movie: Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007)

Okay so if Cinderella II expanded a story that didn’t really need to be developed further.  Then the best follow up to that film is to erase all of it along with the original film completely!

Let’s Review a Movie: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002)

So fifty years after the release of the classic film that still has high marketability even today some high executive at Disney decided that it needed a direct to DVD sequel that would help define the early 2000s as a Dork Age for the company.  So for this Disney fan that rather liked the original Cinderella both for its look and story my response to this thing is a resounding…meh.

Let’s Review a Movie: The Lion King 1 ½ (2004)

You know the title card for this film where the background cracks apart just really sums up this film in a nutshell.  This thing is wrecked on arrival.
