Indie Movie Review – Attack Of The Demons — it’s animated and it’s horror! Why isn’t this done more?
I seem to always start off by saying that I’m probably the worst possible person to be writing the review and this is no exception. I’ve said often enough that I’m not one of your rabid horror fans but I’ll usually watch one with minimal prompting. So… ghosts? OK. Vampires? Don’t mind if I do.…

Hobbitses – A Tolkien history – Behind the Lord of the Rings in epic fantasy films
Typical! Wait decades for a film with hobbits in, and six come along at the same time! At least, that’s how it felt. Like many teens of the time, I had my copy of the single volume paperback edition of The Lord Of The Rings, shortly after it was first published in 1968, having…

New Movie Review – Mulan (Live action 2020)
The obvious first step with a look at a film like Mulan is to do a compare and contrast piece with the 1998 animated version. And, obviously, there will be a bit of that but, bottom line, it would be a bit like comparing and contrasting apples and tractor parts… Other than the name and…

5 Older Movies We’d Love Remakes Of (And 5 That Are Perfect)
It is a truth universally acknowledged: a single movie in possession of a large following must be in want of a remake. At least, that’s how Hollywood executives seem to see things! Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the real truth is that remakes aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. And that’s even understandable, to some extent.…

Top 10 Animated Fantasy Movies
Pixar’s latest adventure Onward hit cinemas last March 6, and it’s one of the only films still in theaters (at least those that are now open, including many drive-in theaters). It’s set in a world of mythical creatures such as mermaids, unicorns, gnomes, centaurs, manticores, and elves. I thought it would be fun to take…

Movie Review – OnWard
—
OnWard is just another average Pixar movie. Average for Pixar; better than most anything else. The trailer reveals the gist of the story, but the central theme is left out. I won’t ruin it for you here by saying what it is, but it has the Pixar magic. What Pixar does consistently– and better than…
