Seeing Red: Must See
Rather bummed that Disney didn’t have the confidence to release this semi-original idea in theaters exclusively as they do with the MCU stuff. It was stronger than Luca (the Little Italian Mermaid) and about on par with Inside/Out or Soul, the last two near-perfect movies … Continue reading
Italian #59: Enrico Casarosa
We now move on to the miscellaneous professions of the numerous people with Italian heritage. This entry goes to Enrico who is an animation person and you might be familiar with his biggest work to date, Pixar’s Luca. The movie represents … Continue reading
Luca: Streaming at best
Maybe Pixar is stuck in a pattern of great movie followed by mediocre movie, repeat. Currently, it would go: Coco, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Onward, Soul and Luca. If I chose to go back farther, my hypothesis would have more interruptions of … Continue reading
Soul: Pixar rebounds…for now
What a pisser that I didn’t get to see this for the first time at Alamo Drafthouse for Soul was definitely an event movie and I can only imagine them having some original snipe before the main attraction. Oh, of course … Continue reading
Onward: Streaming at best
One upside the Pandemic has given us, Disney moving this mediocre Pixar movie to Disney+ since movie theaters are shuttered indefinitely. I was glad because I saved money, Alamo isn’t cheap when anything doesn’t deliver. The first warning sign I … Continue reading
Toy Story 4: Must See
The first nagging question I have had for the last few years with Pixar hasn’t been, “Does this really need a sequel?” It’s, “Which Pixar made this movie?” Will it be the one that knows how to tell a story … Continue reading
Incredibles 2: Must See
Catching up on the movies for the Summer of ’18 and as expected, the season is filled with sequels. This one has been anticipated for over a decade but it was worth the wait. You can’t do The Incredibles without Brad Bird … Continue reading
Finding Dory: Worth Seeing
It’s not quite Inside/Out but this Pixar sequel is far superior to Monsters U and the orifice gouging Cars 2. I’m still bummed the studio plans to churn out sequels (Toy Story 4 and Incredibles 2) yet they pulled through on Dory. A year has passed … Continue reading
I don’t know officer, droids do all look alike
An overdue mashup from a new place I scored some shirts from, Teepublic. Normally I’d pass on most Star Wars jokes but if Bender is involved, then I’m sold. Although everyone’s favorite binge-drinking, kleptomaniac has no political loyalties (beyond himself, making him a … Continue reading
Monsters University: Rental
So far the Summer Movies of 2013 have been rather mediocre. Monsters University was one film I was stoked about seeing because I loved Monsters, Inc. Sequels are often cynical ploys by Hollywood’s accountants to make a quick, lazy buck but Pixar proved this criticism … Continue reading
Brave: Worth Seeing
Pixar is back on track but not entirely with this release. After the painfully dreadful, insipid Cars 2 (I have sat through this so I can rightfully complain), things could only get better…yes and no. Yes, because the cast/voices fit the characters … Continue reading
