Brave

“I don’t speak bear.” Its hard for Pixar films these days to overcome the high expectations set on them by the company’s previous films. Pixar movies are not only visually beautiful and fun, but they usually have deeper themes which raise them up. WallE was about mankind’s responsibility to the earth, Up was about letting […]

The Blu-ray Files #014

The Adventures of Robin Hood – This is the oldest movie I’ve seen so far on blu-ray, but considering that, wow!  It looks awesome.  The picture is wonderfully clear and rich in detail.  And the colours! Oh, the colours!  If this is the same colour palate that audiences saw when this was released in 1938, […]

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2012

Andy is all grown up, which makes for an interesting dilemma for them to build a story around; what will the toys do now? […]

Up

Well, Pixar has done it again. Up is another excellent effort in the Pixar library. The story of stubborn old Carl who sets off in his balloon-hoisted house with stowaway Russell is a fantastic tale full of humour, great characters, and some really touching moments. The opening of the movie sets up a wonderful bedrock […]
