Off the top of your head, can anyone think of a Dreamworks franchise? (not animated).

It sounds like it could be good based on the plot. Stiller does know how to play neurotic & guilty. Anyways, I'm more interested in how Fey is fitting into this plot. Hopefully she will not be just another side character.

Boxofficeguru is reporting an estimated 14-16 million over the weekend. That's good, although not great. I think it exceeds expectations though. It could be the number two movie this weekend here in the US which I think is pretty good.

I like the cover. I love it that Rosie's head is up at the top.

Here's a challenge for you guys. When I was a kid (mid-80s), I remember watching a show about a kid (or maybe there were different kids in each episode). They would shrink in size and go through a portal in a tree. On the other side was a magical land. I really can't remember anything else about it,...

The way things are going, I'll never be able to convince my wife this is a good option. ;)

Wow, I haven't been there for almost fifteen years. I remember it being one of my least favorite rides. It was cool to see animatronics dressed up in different clothes, but that was it. I guess it does make more sense to tie the ride into their actual film properties. It might attract more people to...

I have to say, while I think chapter inserts are cute, I never use them. I just use the chapter navigation on the DVD.

Hi George. Thanks for the recommendation. I just watched the first episode today - Rise of the Blue Beetle! I agree with you on the retro feel and tone of the show. It's a great balance and it's a lot of fun to watch. I also thought it was interesting to be able to hear Batman's thoughts like in the...

I think the fact that people were discussing Wall-E's chances of being in the BP category come Oscar time is actually more of a reflection on the discontent of live action movies that came out last year. I believe this was a much weaker year for Hollywood than 2007 or even 2006. Many people have mad...

I never got around to watching Quest for Camelot. At the time, it seemed like a wannabe Disney musical. I never watched it though so I can't comment on the quality. As for Spirit, I should say that despite what I may think of the film's pace and story, the animation in the film is spectacular. It is...

Someone may have mentioned this one already, but many people don't even know about Cats Don't Dance. That was a great animated comedy by Mark Dindal (Emperor's New Groove, Chicken Little). Sadly, the only DVD release of this film was cropped, but it's still worth checking out. It's about a cat who w...

Actually, I think in many of the technical categories, both Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E were toss-ups for the win. I actually liked the character designs in KFP more than in Wall-E for example. It also had many more major characters. Wall-E wasn't even nominated for some of the same categories KFP was ...

People are really short-sighted with their conclusions aren't they? I don't think DVD sales are down and Netflix subscriptions are up because people prefer one over the other. It comes down to economics and the fact that people are cutting back on spending. That makes DVD sales go down. They're also...
