Cars 2 (2011) — I don’t know why I ever have doubts about Pixar. I thought a cooking rat sounded dumb and it turned out to be one of the best movies they’ve ever done.

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 →

Toy Story (1995) — I remember seeing this movie in theaters when I was 10. Then it’s been on TV a bunch and I own the DVD but now it was playing on the big screen again so fourteen years later I saw it again. In 3D this time so that was cool. What I … Continue reading →
