Let's Review a Movie: The Magnificent Seven (1960)

Well this is slightly belated, but in honour of what would have been Deforest Kelley’s 94^th birthday this past Monday I’m looking at a Western.  And unlike last year when I reviewed a remake of a classic Western this time I’m reviewing a true classic…that is a remake of another classic.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – Early Thoughts

The journey of Bilbo Baggins and company continues on the silver screen.  Here are my thoughts on this latest installment.  This review does contain full spoilers.

Saving Mr. Banks – Early Thoughts

Well this was something new for Disney.  A biography film that involves its founder and the woman he fought with for twenty years to get a film made of her book.

Frozen - Early Thoughts

I went to see the latest Disney movie so now let’s talk about it.  Full spoilers are under the cut as always.

Let's Review a Movie: Santa Claus is Coming to Town (1970)

Well the holidays are upon us and with them come endless Christmas songs, holiday specials, and nostalgia for the days of yore.  So let’s look a movie that combines all of that.

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.
