Pixar’s ‘Inside Out:’ New Info On Plot, Characters, And Locations [Video Blog] By Germain Lussier/June 20, 2014 1:00 pm EST In life, we all strive to be happy. Other emotions pop up to take control of our consciousness when happiness isn’t available. So it makes sense that Joy is the main character of Pixar’s June 2015 release Inside Out.

This Week In Trailers: In The House, The Spirit Of ‘45, Silver Circle, My Way To Olympia, Legends Of The Knight By Christopher Stipp/March 1, 2013 4:00 pm EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

‘Accidental Love’ Trailer: Delayed And Disowned David O. Russell Film Has A New Name By Russ Fischer/Jan. 6, 2015 5:30 am EST We’re about to see the final chapter in a disaster story. Back in 2008 David O. Russell shot a film called Nailed, scripted by Al Gore’s daughter Kristen Gore.

Ridley Scott’s original 1982 film is one of the staples of the science fiction genre, and one that posed a long-term question – is Deckard a replicant? – that geeks have been arguing about ever since. But a sequel?...

‘Flight Of The Navigator’ Was Released 25 Years Ago Today By Germain Lussier/July 30, 2011 9:00 am EST As a young lad, Flight of the Navigator was one of my favorite movies.

To be honest, I don’t remember the first time I saw the movie....

Miniseries adaptations of It, The Stand, Salem’s Lot and The Tommyknockers were hits and Under the Dome managed to run three seasons.

But out of the hundreds of films released every year, why cut it off at ten?...

I almost included the movie to television series trend in my 9 Current Movie and Television Trends I Hate article last month, but I decided it was too soon to make that judgement....
