Quick Review: Frozen (2013)

by

FROZEN (2013) BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLNOVEMBER 30, 2013 Entering the annals of the Disney collection, “Frozen” takes the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Snow Queen” and gives it the classic Disney touch. Working in its favor are the strong female characters in Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) as they sing and dance their way through Elsa’s unwanted ability to freeze things. This … Read More Quick Review: Frozen (2013)

PAPERMAN Granted I have not seen any of the other animated shorts so far this year, it will definitely take a lot to beat out my current favorite, Disney’s short entitled “Paperman” which is playing before screenings of the feature “Wreck-It Ralph”. Telling the silent, black-and-white (for the most part) love story of two strangers passing by and eventually being led to find one … Read More 2013 Oscars Challenge: Short Film #1: Paperman

WRECK-IT RALPH As far as I’m concerned, “Wreck-It Ralph” breaks the mold of your run-of-the-mill animated features, delivering on all accounts, not only with impressive, well-known talent voice acting, but with a heartfelt, yet always comical story involving characters both that we know from our childhood like Pac-Man and Sonic the Hedgehog, along with new characters that still resemble familiar characters. Also, as far … Read More 2013 Oscars Challenge: [12] Wreck-It Ralph – One Nomination

For Your Consideration 2011: “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”

by

Every year that there is a “Pirates of the Caribbean” film, it gets nominated for Academy Awards. Each year the nominations get less and less and each year the films never win (save for “Dead Man’s Chest”). Not much will change this year, I am afraid. “The Curse of the Black Pearl” had four nominations for Johnny Depp, Makeup, and Sound Editing/Mixing, “Dead Man’s … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”

For Your Consideration 2011: “The Muppets”

by

For such an original and successful franchise, I do not see a huge place for “The Muppets” at this year’s Academy Awards. Originally, I had prayed for the powers-that-be to allow the Muppets to host the Academy Awards, but then Brett Ratner announced Eddie Murphy. When Ratner and Murphy stepped down, I thought for sure it would happen (there were even rumblings of such … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “The Muppets”

For Your Consideration 2011: “Gnomeo & Juliet”

by

Of the eighteen animated films up for consideration for Oscar nomination, “Gnomeo & Juliet” has one of the least chances of making the final cut. The only chances this film has of being nominated is that it is based on a Shakespearean play and it contains original music by Elton John. Unsure of how the Original Song category will pan out, having a name … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Gnomeo & Juliet”

This year’s Disney/Pixar installment, you can place your bets on this one getting nominated for the Oscar. The original “Cars” was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 79th Academy Awards and lost to “Happy Feet”. The funny thing is “Cars 2” faces “Happy Feet Two” this year in the pool of eighteen animated films up for consideration, and in my opinion, “Happy Feet … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Cars 2”

Movie Review: Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time (2010)

by

Prince Of Persia takes all the major plot points from several of its Disney predecessors and combines them into a live action Arabian family feud film, with a hint of the metaphysical and mythological. Though well cast, the film falls short of a film such as 300 and rides the fine line between child’s film and adult action adventure.
