Today I’d like to look at one of the most influential animated movies of all time, the original Shrek. Shrek’s popularity spawned a movie franchise, TV specials, video games, toys, and even an entire sub-genre of imitators. However, the movie’s success wasn’t a foregone conclusion. Before Shrek was DreamWorks Animation’s flagship franchise, it was seen …

On Friday, January the 15th, Netflix finally released Part 3 of Disenchantment. Part 1 came out in August 2018, and Part 2 in September 2019. Overall I quite enjoyed Part 1, and it really got me invested in Bean, Elfo, and Luci. Part 2 was a little disappointing, heavy on unfunny jokes, and surprisingly light …

This Wednesday, Netflix dropped the trailer for the third (and ostensibly final) film in the To All the Boys film series. The first film adaptation of Jenny Han’s book series was a breakout success in 2018. It provided Netflix with a consistent, if seemingly short-lived, young adult romance movie series.

As we all know, not a lot happened last year in the entertainment world besides drama and delays. However, I think a surprising amount of what actually was released was quite good. A lot of art that came out was extremely timely and also benefited from the lack of competition. However, some of what we …

Going into this year, Pixar‘s Soul was one of my most anticipated movies. The trailers didn’t make much of an impression on me, but when it comes to Disney and Pixar, I don’t go by the trailers, which are often intentionally misleading. I learned that from Tangled’s abysmal marketing campaign and conveniently forgot long enough …

Every year at Christmas time, I try to find a good balance between my usual catalog of holiday favorites and new movies. However, everything has been different in 2020. I was hoping for some sense of a return to normalcy as my favorite holiday neared, but I think we can mostly agree that hasn’t been …

*SPOILERS FOR THE MANDALORIAN FINALE* On Monday, Jon Favreau appeared on Good Morning America to expand on The Mandalorian’s post-credits scene. In the clip, Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) kills Bib Fortuna and assumes Jabba the Hutt’s former throne on Tattooine, Ming-Na Wen’s Fennec Shand at his side. This gives way to a revelation that sent …
