It’s official, “Toy Story 3” is the highest grossing animated movie of all-time! Now, although it still needs to beat “Shrek 2” in the domestic box office (which it very likely won’t do because it needs another $40M), the film has beaten “Shrek 2” worldwide, with over $940 million. Overall, “Toy Story 3” is the […]

Tuesday was a big day in my career as a film critic and media personality. It’s the day I got blasted by Howard Stern. For some reason Stern decided to talk about me on his national satellite radio show on Tuesday morning, and the show was repeated throughout the day. I still haven’t heard the […]

Some sad news out of Hollywood, and it’s not because of the death of a famous celebrity. Disney has announced that “Beauty and the Beast 3D” will not be released in theatres next year. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Disney is waiting for more people to buy 3-D TVs. Wait a minute. That’s your reason? […]

As I’ve mentioned many times before, 2010 is so far one of the greatest years in animation in history. But the rest of the year could make me change my mind. Before “Cats and Dogs 2”, there were 5 trailers, mostly of upcoming animated films. Let me give you a rundown of those films (all […]

People continue to ask me why I can see PG-13 movies, even though I’m not 13. First of all, PG-13 stands for Parents Strongly Cautioned – Some Material May be Inappropriate for Children under 13. What it doesn’t say is that kids under 13 CAN’T GO TO THESE MOVIES. In fact, kids under 13 go […]

Comic-Con 2010 is officially underway, and already is creating buzz for films like “Tron: Legacy”, “Pirates of the Caribbean 4” (see trailer below) and “MegaMind”. Speaking of “MegaMind”, the film’s stars Will Ferell, Tina Fey, and Jonah Hill were at the event. Fey and Hill dressed casually, but Ferrell took a different approach, dressing up […]

Nickelodeon has greenlit a spinoff series, based on their “Last Airbender” TV series. WHY? They’ve already got “Kung Fu Panda: The Series” and the “Jimmy Neutron” spin-off “Planet Sheen” premiering later this year, and a “Monsters Vs. Aliens” TV series in the works. Plus, more episodes of some of my favorites like “SpongeBob” and “Back […]

The Oscars may be over six months away, but here are eight movies that I’ve seen or will be seeing, that have the best chances of being one of the surprise nominees for Best Picture at the 2011 Oscars (hey, if “The Blind Side” and “District 9” got nominations last year, anything’s possible). In no […]

One of my favorite Pixar films, “Ratatouille”, is possibly getting a 3-D re-release, along with other Pixar classics. However, the 3-D conversion process takes a long time, and with “Beauty and the Beast”, “The Lion King”, and several new Disney films, I’m sure it won’t be out for at least a couple of years. Disney […]
