Welcome to my weird world!
Honestly, why couldn't they have just listened to fans and reunited with the baby all grown up? Were the negative reviews of the last instalment not hinting enough they were going down the wrong path? So, the reason Scrat, the beloved prehistoric rodent always hurting himself to get his somehow-irreplaceable treasure is not in this... Continue Reading →
I liked Luca better than Toy Story 4. Let's start it off that way. I'm not a devotee to the original trilogy, but I still just found the movie too big for its britches, having some sweet moments and surprises but relegating too many beloved characters to the side, displaying more than a few moments...

This movie had large shoes to fill, and it seemed to know that and not know that at the same time, trying to be big but not knowing what to be big for. A sequel to the classic Space Jam has been brainstormed for decades now. A standalone spy sequel led instead to Looney Tunes:... Continue Reading →
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a new movie that’s just plain fun. And I guess I should’ve expected plain fun if this out-of-nowhere film is from the same people behind Into The Spiderverse and The Lego Movie. This is a Sony Pictures Animation movie, but The Lego Movie was a Warner Bros.... Continue Reading →
Do I love thee? Do I love thee not? Everyone is bowing down to Raya in a story that definitely wouldn't have worked had this chosen to be the next Disney-princess-musical-adventure. And me not giving this a positive grade...it feels kind of wrong doing that. It gets so much right. If it had some polishes... Continue Reading →
This...was...incredible. I'm really happy to be able to post Onward after it's been out for a year now, the time right before everything shut down. I was stressed, but not seeing Onward when it was out has to be the stupidest thing I'd done in 2020. I mean, I knew I'd see it eventually. But... Continue Reading →
Wow, it's been a long time, T & J. Just feels like yesterday when my sister and I were in Blockbuster trying to agree on a movie to take home for the night and we were fighting more adamantly than you guys because we couldn't agree on a single one, so I thought your movie,... Continue Reading →
Pixar really makes groundbreaking animated films look easy. I'm ashamed to say I've never seen Onward. Things were so hectic by the time of its release that I guess I somehow wasn't in the mood for joy. Maybe I'll watch it before I go to bed. I'd better see it before I visit The Great...

This project was one I followed for a very long time. It was in some development hell from being in production from 2014-15 before it was cancelled a year later with some company merging worries. Then it got green-lit again and delayed a little bit, and finally, seven years after Grug, Eep, Guy, Ugga, Thunk,... Continue Reading →
What a wave of surprise! Sponge on the Run is the best SpongeBob movie yet, even better than the timeless, daring and jubilant first one from 2004 that I grew up with. I can’t voice my dislike for Sponge Out of Water enough. It was misleading, misguided, and jarringly took zilch seriously. More info about... Continue Reading →
