The Animation Show: Volume 3 is Sick, Twisted, Refined

The Animation Show: Volume 3 is Sick, Twisted, Refined

If you’re not already a fan of Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt’s The Animation Show, you should be. Every installment delivers the beautiful, insightful, and strange world of some of the most talented animators in the world. Volume 3 is no exception, and it all kicks off with a special, brandy-sipping in front of a fire message from our old friends Beavis and Butthead.

Bee Movie DVD Review

Bee Movie DVD Review

For anyone wondering if a good DVD release can save an otherwise mediocre movie, Bee Movie is your answer. The film itself fell somewhere in the middle (and quite possibly the bottom) of my list last year, but the DVD has brought it up a notch or two.

Movie Review: Horton Hears a Who!

Movie Review: Horton Hears a Who!

Walking into Horton Hears a Who!, I was game for a nice and fluffy time-filler. In all honesty, I did not expect, however, to come away from it thinking that this was the first great movie I’ve seen thus far in 2008. [Grade: A-]

DVD Review: Justice League: The New Frontier

Sure, the live-action films are for the most part pretty great (with some exceptions like Daredevil and The Hulk). But it’s in the animated genre that the really cool things are happening.

The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything

The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything

For those who don’t know anything about the Veggie Tales, this is a computer-generated kids show with Christian overtones. However, unlike many Christian videos, it’s not as heavy-handed on the religious themes.
