A little under a year ago, the Pixar Up House was sold to a couple with a huge passion for Disney. The Hamblin’s toured the house while in Utah visiting a relative. They loved it so much, they convinced the builder to sell them the… Read More »Take a Tour of The Pixar UP House Courtesy of its Owners
Marvel’s The Avengers has passed a significant milestone flying past the $1.5 billion mark at the worldwide box office. This includes a healthy $620 million domestically. $1.5B is third place on the all time box office list, but still $600 million (and change) behind the… Read More »The Avengers Soars Past $1.5 Billion Worldwide
I’m so impressed with Daniel Day-Lewis as an actor. The man is known for his total transformations into the person he is portraying. As you can see by this newly released movie poster below, and the previous image released, Day-Lewis has done it again with… Read More »Daniel Day-Lewis is Lincoln, New Poster Released
I’ve been a fan of director Gary Ross’ work since his directorial debut in Pleasantville (about a brother and sister transported to a television world of black and white and a powerful metaphor for discrimination in America). Ross started out as a writer and he… Read More »Director Gary Ross moves from Hunger Games to Peter Pan
Disney is getting creative with those ‘Quiet Please’ theater warnings. We just saw one featuring Finding Nemo for AMC Theatres, now here is one featuring Frankenweenie footage for IMAX Theaters. Thankfully, both of them are pretty funny too. What do you think?
Besides the new Dine-in Theatres, once of the things I like about AMC Theatres is the creative way they communicate that it’s bad form (to say the least) to talk on your cell phone during a movie. For the latest trailer in that mold, we… Read More »Finding Nemo AMC Quiet Please Theater Trailer
Disney’s entry into the feel good family film category this year is “The Odd Life of Timothy Green.” It fits the mold very nicely, while at the same time, introducing a little something extra you don’t normally get from those films, metaphor. In fact, not only is the title character who is essentially a metaphor for childhood innocence, the movie itself is also a metaphor for the parental journey and how you deal with life’s struggles and loss.
Those extra layers make this movie more enjoyable for the adults who will be accompanying their kids to the film. But unfortunately, they did not solve some of the other problems.
The movie has that fable feel and doesn’t depart from the script too much. I wish it had departed a bit more. When it does start to explore Tim’s other relationships it gets interesting, but then it becomes afraid to explore those plots too much and instead leaves (sorry) the audience hanging without answers for a lot of the stories told in the film.

In the case of “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” the title is a good indication of what to expect from the movie. But that’s not to say the movie is all about being odd, in fact, it’s quite entrenched in the classic feel-good movie… Read More »The Odd Life of Timothy Green – New Clip
