Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1
Although the technology has come a long way in that time, the Pixar philosophy of putting characters and plots in the forefront remains sound.
Ratatouille
Complex in its simplicity. It can be summed up quickly by saying it’s about a rat who helps a clumsy oaf achieve greatness in a French restaurant. But the rich themes that it covers in the process are universal and inspiring.
The Colbert Report: The Best of the Colbert Report
Nearly three hours of the show’s greatest and funniest have been collected.
The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume One
Although there are moments of thrills, they are limited and often hindered by dated effects.
Meet the Robinsons
Despite its obvious shortcomings, Meet the Robinsons left me wanting a little more. It’s been a long, long time since a Disney film without a little lamp logo at the beginning has made me feel that way.
Casshern
Like the similarly stylized Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and, to a certain extent, 300, Casshern is more about visuals than story. It’s a CG playground where cartoon and live action collide.
Let’s All Hate Toronto
A cheeky look at the disdain aimed at the Ontario capital from the rest of Canada.
A Mighty Heart
A Mighty Heart is a powerful film on all accounts, something that brings a human face to such a collective time of confusion.
The Hoax
The film is an exciting tale of deception and fast-paced thinking, the perfect therapy for all the growing core of cynics who are at a breaking point where maybe they don’t feel they can even trust “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”.
The Invisible
There are some interesting ideas afoot, but there’s also a struggle as to which to direction it wants to head.
