I would go for it. I believe it does a director good to try projects outside their comfort zone to test their abilities. He is incredible in creating a movie's atmosphere and keeping the audience in suspence but these predictable "twisting" endings are getting tiresome. Otherwise you end u...

There Is A Shorten Version

This isn't meant to be a crack, but a serious remark. Why not release an Abbreviated Edition alongside the Extended Edition? Luke, there is an Abbreviated and it is quite excellent. It starred Fay Wray and Bruce Cabot and it is terrific if you don't mind a black and white. The dvd has been out sinc...

Republic did a laserdisc on these. Up the silent Felix The Cat and Popeye here as well. 4) Double Idemn...

Chuck Norris, Red-necks & Tax Refunds

I hope a certain site administrator does not ban me for the the joke I heard on the radio the other day. They were listing the top ten things rednecks will spend their tax refund money on:

7) Go to the $5.50 DVD Wal-Mart bin, and buy the entire Chuck Norris catalog!

Actually, Friz left Disney before the whole Oswald/Mintz/Universal/HarmanIsing breakup. He has said in the past Uncle Walt was quite a verbal abuser so Friz got tired of it and left the studio. He came back to animation when his mentors HarmanIsing set up their own shop with Mintz/Universal. It shou...

Unfortunately, The Wild had a lot of things going against it: 1) Was not a Disney product and profitability was more limited. 2) Advertising was very limited. 3) Madgascar similar story stole its thunder. 4) Easter is not film weekend. 5) Ice Age was released only a couple week before. 6) Luke-warm ...

Each biography has it own theory on why Uncle Walt willingly named names for the HUAC, but most agree he hated the unions and mostly named union leaders, such as Art Babbitt (who could have been the tenth old man.) Uncle Walt, especially in the beginning, tended to treat the company as family and th...

Yes, junkie this is a remake (Complete w/Sean Penn!!) or to keep you from jumping we will call it an update.

But I don't remember the Reagan being in that one, which won Best Picture in 1949. Since when was Reagan ever in good movie?

Not that I am not fortune teller, but I expect Disney is going to release other CGI animated movies so why would they not put it into the animated classics?

I find it hard to think of Chicken Little as a classic but it is a marketing thing.

Call me a sucker, but I still say the first Season of the Simpsons is the best.
