I have to admire the folks at Disney. When they want to market a movie, they market a movie. Tron: Legacy followed me around all year, whether it was the big Tron Press Conference at Wondercon, to their Comic-Con panel, to their weekly Tron emails and video releases the movie was in my face. Even […]

Michelle Kind of Likes Tangled!
Tangled is a strange animal. It wants to be a modern animated film with all of the modern trappings but it’s also Disney’s 50th Animated film, so it has to show both sides of the mouse house – it’s roots as an innovative in animation and wholesome good fun, while also showing us that Disney […]
Disney Picks Up Radical Publishing’s Oblivion!
The folks at Radical Publishing have, once again, sold the film rights to one of their properties – in this case, though, it’s not a graphic novel. Oblivion is an illustrated novel written by Arvid Nelson and created by the director of TRON: Legacy, Joseph Kosinski. It’s a post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel that will be released […]

Wondercon 2010 Day 2, Amy Acker, Geoff Stults, Nicholas Cage, Jake Gyllenhaal and more!
I’m back and I survived last weekend’s big San Francisco Adventure known as WonderCon 2010. Friday was all about opening day and comic books, Saturday was all about pop culture the day started with spending an hour in the Press Room with the cast of ABC’s new spooky show Happy Town. We sat down with […]
John Carter of Mars is finally a Go!
I don’t know anything about the Princess of Mars series, I did purchase the complete collection for my Kindle last year, but haven’t gotten around to reading it. I hear this is a pretty over the top, brutally violent book with incest and stuff – so that turned me off on reading this, but it’s […]
‘Can it outrun a building?’
Disney Interactive Studio’s upcoming racing game “Split/Second,” due May 2010, sounds like it combines the best of “Death Race,” “The Fast and the Furious” and Roland Emmerich’s “2012” into one flashy, fun, four-wheeled adventure.
VIDEO GAME REVIEW: Disney Sing It: Pop Hits
Disney Interactive Studio’s karaoke franchise expands its jukebox repertoire to include chart-topping Radio Disney artists.
MOVIE REVIEW: Earth: Lovely to Look At; Not So Delightful to Know!
Earth, the first release from the new arm of Disney, DisneyNature, may be the most beautifully shot film you will see all year – and James Earl Jones could make the phone book sound great. Unfortunately, the cinematography is really the only stellar part of the film. The trailer for Earth says it follows three […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Race to Witch Mountain, Good clean fun. Michelle’s Take.
I love Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, he has that “It” quality that makes me want to watch him no matter what he does. He’s moved away from the action role stereotype and has gone into the Disney Family movie. A move many muscle bound stars like Stalone, Vin Diesel and Arnold have tried and failed […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
If you have read my reviews for any length of time you will know that one of my many film bias is an extreme dislike of talking animals in my movies. Generally, they creep me out and take me right out of the experience. The one exception to that rule was The Chronicles of Narnia. […]
