Tweaks Make Cinderella Better Than The Original Toon!
Quick note: Cinderella is amazing in IMAX! Everything about its presentation – incredible sets, mind-blowing (and appropriate) effects and stunning costumes on appealing characters – is just gobsmackingly perfect in IMAX. Then there’s the actual movie – a live action take on Disney’s animated classic, Cinderella, that improves on the story and is told with […]
Romantic Trailer: Disney’s Cinderella
There’s a sweepingly romantic new trailer for Disney’s Cinderella – and judging from I’ve seen, Cinderella is not in need of rescuing so much as in just getting out of the house! Check it out after the jump. Cinderella opens on March 13th.
Behind The Scenes: The Cinderella Legacy!
Walt Disney’s animated classic Cinderella is one of the most loved movies of all time, so making a live-action version of the version has to be considered something of a risk – even if Disney’s Maleficent and Into The Woods turned out to be hits.

After a tonally confused beginning and terrific middle episode filled with all kinds of invention, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies brings Peter Jackson’s six-movie Tolkien binge to close with a rousing mid-point finale that both wraps up the story and sets the stage for the Lord of the Rings trilogy quite nicely.

National Society of Film Critics: Inside Llewyn Davis is 2013’s Best Picture!
One of the best things about the National Society of Film Critics Awards is that they give you the top three finalists in their lists. As a result, you get an idea of whether a film, script of actor was a runaway winner, or if there were a lot of films/scripts/actors that deserved more than […]
Hanna Updates the Brothers Grimm for the 21st Century!
When you think of the name Joe Wright, you think of period pieces like Atonement and Pride & Prejudice – not action flicks that twist fairytale themes into something the Brothers Grimm would approve of. You certainly wouldn’t expect him to do it so well, either, but Hanna is an absorbing, hugely entertaining movie.
MOVIE REVIEW: Robin Hood – Too Long; Too Grim and Too Much!
I can’t even begin to chart the historical inaccuracies of Robin Hood [which are the only things that Ridley Scott’s bloated origin story has in common with those Robins who have gone before] which makes all of the film’s efforts to evoke a real time and place kind of pointless. So Robin Hood is working […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Ponyo Miyazaki Makes More Magic!
The worlds created by Japanese master animated filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki are wondrous places where a bus can be a giant cat; waves can be giant, fluid fish and goldfish can have human faces. They are worlds that can be as sophisticated as Citizen Kane, or as subtle as the gentlest child’s book. Ponyo, the first […]
