Pixel to Projector: The Haunting Starring Polterguy
FilmSchoolRejects.com &bull Aug 17, 2010
Back in 1993, Electronic Arts was still small time compared to the entertainment siege engine that we gamers recognize today. The fun thing about old school EA, I would argue, is that they were more willing to take chances on unique IP. The Haunting Starring Polterguy (THSP from this point on) is one such game; wholly unique and so ahead of its time I'm not sure we'll see anything like it again. While the story could have used… Full Story »

Toy Story 3: fitting finale or tired rehash?
Guardian Unlimited &bull Jul 20, 2010
Will Woody and Buzz's final outing be a shallow retread of its predecessors or an emotionally fulfilling conclusion to the saga? The basics Toy Story 3 arrives 11 years after the last instalment, and 15 years after Toy Story, the film that catapulted Pixar into the public conciousness and transformed the world of motion picture animation forever. But with the exception of a few characters whose voice actors have died in the interim, all the familiar gang from Andy's bedroom are back. Woody… Full Story »

Pixar to Make 'Cars' Direct-to-Video Spin-Off 'Planes'?

It's kind of universally accepted that John Lasseter's 2006 feature "Cars," while certainly a gorgeous-looking Pixarmovie, was far from the studio's best. Still, it sold a shitload of toys and pajamas and other assorted bric-a-brac, so much so that Disney… Full Story »

Human Story
Edward Copeland on Film &bull Jul 9, 2010
By Damian My wife and I saw Toy Story 3 (in glorious 2-D thankfully) a couple of weeks ago and I find that since then Iave been reflecting on it a great deal. I was fully prepared for it to be a decent movie (perhaps not the best of the three but an enjoyable and pleasant time at the theater nonetheless), but what I was not prepared for was how emotional an experience it would prove to be and how red my eyes would look when the lights came up. For those few who still may not know, Toy Story… Full Story »

Cinematical Seven: The Animated Pets We'd Love to Own
Cinematical &bull Jul 7, 2010
Cats and dogs are fantastic pets, but nowadays it's all about one-upping your neighbor with a more unusual critter. There are designer dogs, micro pigs, lemurs, exotic birds; the choices are practically endless. A tank full of piranhas is a cool thing to show off to your friends, but the fun really stops there. What we need are some cute and loving creatures with a little more going on upstairs. And the ability to talk couldn't hurt either. Let's face it: a nice majority of moviegoers wish, even if it's… Full Story »
