Whenever Hollywood remakes a movie, the litany of Creative Bankruptcy roars across the land. I don’t completely agree, I think the major studios are just run by risk-averse morons with MBAs incapable of passing Film History 101. 3:10 to Yuma has … Continue reading →

At worse, this movie is a 90-minute episode with the A Story going to Homer, the B to Bart, C to Marge, D to Lisa and the rest of Springfield receiving the E but it all ties together from beginning … Continue reading →

Quick disclosure on this review. Pixar’s head guy is Steve Jobs who is also the CEO of Apple, my employer. Hiring director Brad Bird was one of the smartest moves Pixar ever made. For years he worked on The Simpsons and … Continue reading →

Thanks to the formatting problems I encountered on my Web site’s software through the 10.4.9 update, I decided to change the ratings of the movies I see. They’re no longer going to be in the title but you can scroll … Continue reading →
