The State of Pixar, DiCaprio as Woodrow Wilson, Cranston as Trumbo, TV to Film Adaptations
If you’re a history nerd, like many of the folks over at GeekScholars Movie News, you’re going to especially love this week’s podcast. To start, the hosts delve into the details regarding two very intriguing biopics in the works: Leonardo DiCaprio playing U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, and Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) tackling the life of prolific screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo may not be a very recognizable name, but his story is extremely fascinating.
From there, the GeekScholars have an in-depth roundtable discussion about animation powerhouse Pixar, including whether or not the studio has peaked, given lackluster receptions to their last couple of films, and tales of woe coming out of their production teams.

Brave Deserves DVD Release With Better Features Package!
With its first ‘princess’ movie, Brave, Pixar recovers from the creative (though not financial) disaster that was Cars 2. The story of Merida, the tomboy teen at the heart of Brave, takes familiar princess tropes and spins them enough to feel fresh and fun. And, as always, the animation is stunning.
Unfortunately, Pixar has stiffed DVD buyers with only an audio commentary track and two shorts (one of which is very disappointing).

Finding Nemo 3D: Classic Movie Really Doesn’t Need Partially Effective 3D To Be Great!
Finding Nemo is on the top five Pixar movies, which means it is already a bona fide classic in 2D. With this weekend’s re-release in 3D, it doesn’t really get all that much better because the 3D is only intermittently effective – though when it is, it’s really, really effective.
