The Game that Almost Killed Me
I know that in the past I’ve mentioned how a video game almost killed me as a child. No, it wasn’t thrown at my head, nor was I physically beat by somebody wielding a NES controller. It’s actually a little more complicated than that, so let me take you back in time to when I was a little girl…
My Top 10 Favorite Deftones Songs
Since the purpose of this Blogathon is to raise money for Chi Cheng, bassist for Deftones, it’s only fitting that a post be made about their music. The Deftones have been around for over 20 years. Starting in 1988, I was only 6, and while, sadly, I wouldn’t learn about them for many years to come, it was well worth the wait.
Why Harry Potter is better than Twilight
As a fan of real vampire movies, I can’t even begin to describe how disgusted I am by the Twilight books and films. If you are a fan of either, I’m sorry. Not only do you have poor taste, but I think you need to get some serious psychiatric help. There’s been an on-going debate between fans of Harry Potter and Twilight. Today, I’m here to settle it. There are so many ways i...[Read More]
Evolution Of Pixar: Up & Away
Up was a film that hit me hard in the gut.By far their most mature & emotional film. The highlight was the film’s “mini movie” in the beginning known as the Married Life montage. In it we follow young Carl growing old with his wife Ellie. There are no words. Just the beautiful score & a moving montage.
Evolution Of Pixar: Robots Can Fall In Love
Wall-E. Pixar took us to ground level & beyond with A Bug’s Life. They took us to the depths of the ocean with Finding Nemo. And now we venture into space with one of the most loveable characters ever created.
Evolution Of Pixar: Dinner & Rats
Pixar’s next feature took a rather disgusting concept and made a very brilliant movie out of it. The idea of a rat cooking your food is pretty repulsive but Pixar makes it work. Ratatouille was yet another effort that enthralled audiences both young old, but this is the one I feel was more enjoyed by the older crowd.
Evolution Of Pixar: The Incredibles & Cars
And Pixar continues it’s magical streak with one of my favorite films of all time. Not just animated,in general. The Incredibles is an astonishing piece of work that it’s cue from the superhero lore (one obvious inspiration being the mighty Watchmen).
Evolution Of Pixar: Monsters & Fish Oh My!
So three highly successful films,one being the rare sequel that tops the original. Surely they must run out steam right?I mean they already resorted to a sequel so maybe they’re out ideas right? Well their next film is about the world of monsters.
Evolution Of Pixar: Bugs & More Toys
So Pixar made their first movie & made a killing at the box office. Pixar took their success with a grain of salt though & opted not to just get lazy. Their second feature is in my honest opinion, very underrated.
Evolution Of Pixar: Toy Story
In 1995 Pixar released the groundbreaking Toy Story. I have very fond memories if seeing this film during the Thanksgiving break when I was ten years old. I remember my parents dropping me off for the first showing on opening day (why that was important to me is still unknown. I was ten so whatever). The commercials on I saw on TV were nothing short of amazing & to a child like me, it was a mu...[Read More]
The Evolution Of Pixar
This summer brought us the spectacular Toy Story 3. The film was a beautiful and perfect ending to the Toy Story saga (which by the way,saga is more worthy of a title here than those damn Twilight movies but I digress). But as I left the theater I began to wonder what I’m sure many have wondered: How in the bloody hell has the studio Pixar been able to pull off what they have so far?
