Movie Mayhem – Frozen
For a long time—through around the late-90s to the mid-00s, to be exact—Disney was on a downward spiral creatively (just as Pixar was making a name for itself with fresh, fun adventures).

Move Mayhem – All Is Lost
Movies without dialogue (or with minimal dialogue, for that matter) are a rare breed. To pull it off effectively, you need strong, charismatic actors who are able to engage the audience with nothing more than their body language.

Mace Windu alive and well?
Last night on David Letterman, Samuel L. Jackson talked Star Wars, relaying a story about how he hasn’t gotten a call from J.J. Abrams about being in the next Star Wars film, and his disappointment for receiving such the cold shoulder. Could it be possible that the reason you haven’t gotten a call is, oh, […]
