• Latest How to Train Your Dragon Movie Trailer Hangs on Dreamworks’ Dubious Animation Legacy

  
  /Film — Authority: 793
  I can understand Pixar trading on the legacy of the Toy Story films, Monsters Inc. and so on - even Cars , which I know many critics aren’t so kind on  - but Dreamworks Animation trying to draw hype out of their back catalogue? Admittedly they’ve put the weight on the more successful Shrek and Madagascar ...

• Review: Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  In a year that brought us Coraline , Where the Wild Things Are , Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs , Princess and the Frog , and Up , how can you justify the existence of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel as anything less than a mind-numbingly generic brand-name cash grab? Its a shame too, because I ...

  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  When our managing editor assigned me to list the Best Family Films of the Decade, I thought, "Woohoo! Theres Ratatouille , Coraline , and --" then he added, "No animated films. Weve got another list for those." I wilted. Do you know how hard it is to talk about films that are suitable for children but also fun for ...

• New to Me: The Black Hole, The Incredible Mr. Limpet and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  If "they dont make em like they used to" isnt officially a cliché yet, then it soon will be. Sure, its about as accurate a maxim as they come -- times inevitably change, and culture as well -- but while it usually laments an era bygone, it often ignores the fact that change has often been equal to a sense of ...

• New Alice in Wonderland Images Give a Good Look at the Creatures

  
  /Film — Authority: 793
  The first teaser for Tim Burton ’s Alice in Wonderland left me scratching my head a little. That may have partly down to incomplete effects, but some of it was down to the unexpected aesthetic. By the time the next trailers rolled around, however, the images and I were ready to meet in the middle. After the ...

• The Karate Kid Remake Movie Trailer; Looks Surprisingly Watchable

  
  /Film — Authority: 793
  Consider me shocked that The Karate Kid remake starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan actually looks like it may be a fun film. We’ve covered the film over the past year with increasing trepidation — especially when the studio decided to stick with the Karate Kid title instead of The Kung Fu Kid. But now ...

• Discuss: Who Cares If Its Hand-Drawn or Computer-Animated?

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  Disney shut down the last of its traditional animation studios in 2004, and it was a big deal. Disney ceasing the production of hand-drawn cartoons was like Keebler ceasing the production of cookies. But computer animation was the wave of the future, the Disney bosses figured, and the old-fashioned hand-drawn stuff ...

• Marmaduke Teaser Barks Up the Wrong Tree

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  Granted we havent seen enough of this film to completely write it off just yet, but theres just something about hearing Owen Wilsons distinct voice and then trying to apply it to a real-life Great Dane thats completely throwing me off. Maybe it would work better as an animated film, and maybe well get used to it a ...

• Marmaduke Movie Trailer

  
  /Film — Authority: 793
  20th Century Fox has released the teaser trailer for Marmaduke , the big screen adaptation of the Brad Anderson-created comic strip. For Phil and Debbie Winslow, moving their family from Kansas to the O.C. is a big deal. For their enormous Great Dane “Marmaduke,” (voiced by Owen Wilson ) however, the move ...

• Robert Rodriguez Sequel Log-Jam: More Machete, Sin City 2 and Spy Kids Reboot

  
  /Film — Authority: 793
  This story will eventually get along to news of a potential original film from Robert Rodriguez but first of all, we need to tidy up a lot of loose ends regarding his ever mounting pile of in-the-works sequels. He’s a franchisomaniac. All of this info comes from the fact that a number of online press were last ...

  /Film — Authority: 793
  Initially planned to debut during tonight’s screening of The Incredibles on the ABC Family Channel, our first extended look at Toy Story 3 series has already rolled up online.

• Marvin the Martian Movie Handed to Alex Zamm, Mike Myers to Provide Voice?

  
  /Film — Authority: 793
  I was a little surprised when a solo movie vehicle for interplanetary Looney Tune zealot Marvin the Martian was announced but that was some time ago and since then, I assumed it was dying a slow death out in the cold. Not so, apparently and Alex Zamm , director of the upcoming Bevery Hills Chihuahua 2 and ...

• Cinematical Seven: Best Mayhem of 2009

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  At this time last year, I was proudly tasked with chronicling 2008s finest moments in "big-screen mayhem, violence, destruction and other such shenanigans." Ive still opted to sort these sequences out by specific manner of cinematic excess, and Ive swapped out a category for "Most Tasteless Slaughter" (think ...

• Trailer Park: Runaway Hot Tubs and Iron in the Hood

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  Iron Man 2 The operative phrase here is "bad ass." Bad ass hero, villain (I see Mickey Rourke is still hitting the gym) and sidekick (yup, we get to see a bit of War Machine). Scarlett Johansson is looking fine as Black Widow and I cant complain about the Iron Man dancing girls. Gary Shandling as a Senator Stern ...

• New Alice in Wonderland Trailer Goes Farther Down Burtons Rabbit Hole

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 738
  There is something pretty wonderful about the second trailer for Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland . Yes, we get to see more of Wonderland, more of Alice, and more of all the people and creatures she meets in Wonderland, but thats not precisely the wonderful Im referring to. I love that there is no reason to explain ...

  make. see. eat. do. — Authority: 116
  With Greta teething like crazy, no one in our household has been getting much sleep lately. So, since I was still awake at 4:30AM this morning, I figured I may as well stay up to watch the Golden Globe Nominations at 5:00AM. I mean, what’s another half hour at that point, huh? Well, apparently the Hollywood ...
