Strangely, Strange Magic Is Not Really Magical!
The world could have used a great CG reimagining of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream. What a shame this isn’t it. Still there are some good moments to be had from Strange Magic – Alan Cumming rocking out as the Bog King and Evan Rachel Ward flittering through several musical styles as Princess Marianne […]

Grandly Silly Trailer: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!
Disney’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day may be based on a children’s novel, but it’s a classic and looks like great fun for all ages. The movie’s first trailer made me laugh more than I expected and reinforced a concept I’ve long held dear – bad luck is contagious! The […]
Need For Speed Goes Old School!
There’s not a lot you really need to know about Need For Speed except that what little CGI there might be in the movie, none of it is in the stuntwork. The racing sequences are outstanding – and practical (which is where the ‘old school’ comes in). Oh, and there’s actually a plot and a […]

Crazy Hot (Emphasis on the Crazy) Trailer: Guardians of the Galaxy!

Behind The Scenes Video: Need For Speed–Driving School!
The illusion of characters driving in an action movie is greatly enhanced when they can do all or at least some of their own driving. In the case of Need For Speed, we get a chance to follow Dominic Cooper through his pre-shoot day at action driving school. If this acting thing doesn’t work out […]
Behind The Scenes of Need For Speed: Building Supercars
Since, for budgetary reasons it would make no sense to be damaging Bugattis, Keonigseggs or other expensive cars, the team behind the cars for Need For Speed built replicas of these supercars that would still give them the performance requirements of a movie that incorporates ‘speed’ into its title. Check out a new video that […]
Saving Mr. Banks Brilliance falters under the weight of Marry Poppins
After attending Disney’s excellent D23 presentation of upcoming films, Saving Mr. Banks quickly became one of the few films that I really looked forward to seeing. It has all the elements that I love in movies – heart, comedy, colorful cinematography and it is about the creative process. That twenty-minute preview and surprise ending with […]
