She was in a few more movies (my favorites being Danny Boyle’s A Life Less Ordinary and her cameo in Fear and … Continue reading →

Puss in Boots (2011) – So I liked Shrek a lot. Then Shrek 2 ended up being a pretty great sequel. Then the franchise headed south pretty fast with two mediocre-to-lousy sequels.

Toy Story 2 (1999) — The Godfather Part II, The Silence of the Lambs, Terminator 2: Judgment Day: all part of that rare fraternity of sequels that surpass the quality of the original (though some would exclude Lambs due to technicalities). Toy Story 2 is another. Toy Story is a masterpiece, and to one-up it … Continue reading →
