It’s a shame that this film is only well-known in its native country of Japan and by discerning international fans of anime. In the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com), it is consistently voted by readers as one of the top 250 films of all time and is at, or near,...
An inarguable masterpiece of gentle, sweet storytelling combined with gorgeous hand-drawn animation, My Neighbor Totoro is an indisputable classic of anime from famed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli. Aimed squarely at tots, but utterly enjoyable by all ages, Totoro manages to be both squealingly cute and...
A Single Man – Gorgeous, swoon-worthy, heartbreaking, and uplifting. Colin Firth anchors this quiet, poetic day-in-the-life of a man who has been shattered by his lost love. Little Soldier – A mentally effed-up soldier returns home from war to work for her dad, becoming the driver and bodyguard for...
Most Twilight fans were born way after Joan Jett and Cherie Currie fronted the all-girl punk/pop band The Runaways. But still, seeing Kristen Stewart snapped in candid photos (and at red carpet premieres) with her punky, Jett-black hair has given this indie about the band loads of attention. Plus,...
Avatar takes place sometime in the future (150 years-ish) when humans have decimated the resources of Earth, and now have shown up on the distant, lush moon called Pandora. It just so happens that Pandora is rich in an amazing mineral that will solve all of the Earth’s problems....
If it weren’t made clear from the start that the “real-life” series The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty began filming months before brother Michael’s death, it would have come across as crass exploitation, floating on the resurgence in popularity of the Jacksons most famous (dead) brother. But the show, loosely...
Now, call me a freak, but I kind of enjoy the Buddies series of movies. You know, these straight-to-video spawn of Air Bud family flicks that follow the doggy family of Buddies… those crazy golden retriever pups—B-Dawg (with his hip-hop speak), food-loving Budderball, Buddha (“Namaste!”), Rosebud (the only girl...
Unlike most Twilight fans, I’d consider myself Team Jacob (vs. Team Edward). And because of this, New Moon is probably my favorite of the books (like most who’ve read the Twilight series, I just like to pretend the last book never happened). But, like many people, I was skeptical...
I know plenty of people that consider Gone with the Wind a snooze-fest (for its almost four-hour running length), or find it unwatchable because Vivien Leigh’s Southern belle Scarlett O’Hara is such a despicable heroine. Sure, Scarlett is a bitch, but she is also one of the greatest movie...
The shortlist of 15 films that will be considered for the Oscar for Documentary Feature has been announced. Looks like a good race, as several of these films, including The Cove, Food, Inc., Garbage Dreams, and Every Little Step were very popular with audiences in the film fest circuit....
I’m one of the few people (of my generation at least) that I know that still gets all swoony over Gone With the Wind, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary (!) with the 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition DVD and Blu-Ray release today from Warner Home Video. If there...
The setting is 1818 in Hampstead (a “village” outside of London). Being this era, and being a movie (vs. the reality), almost everyone we meet doesn’t seem to have any sort of job or income, but they just fret about things like moving from the summer house to another...
