Review: How to Train Your Dragon 2

by Adam Riske

Is it possible to call a movie good even if you were a bit bored with it?

Riske Business: What is Happening to Pixar?

One is a fluke. Two is a trend. Three is a losing streak.

Unsung!: Oscar-Nominated Shorts

The Oscar-nominated short films, those red-headed stepchildren of the motion picture industry, are being released for the eighth year to actual movie theaters in selected cities. This is a positive trend, but I wish more studios and theaters would bring back the idea of showing “selected short subjects” before the main feature. Remember those Three Stooges shorts you watched on television as a kid… or The Little Rascals… or Looney Tunes? Those were all originally shown in movie theaters. Those were the days! (AND GET OUT OF MY YARD!)

Sh!#ting on the Classics: The Nightmare Before Christmas

I stand by what I wrote in July!

Sh!#ting on the Classics: The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) 

Nightmare, indeed.

I have five objections to this monotonous, unpleasant film: the story, the music, the handling of Santa Claus, the basic message, and Tim Burton. You know, quibbles.

Sh!#ting on the Classics: Fantasia

by JB

Has anyone in the last thirty years ever sat through this damn thing all the way through?  I can see why it was such a hit with college crowds in its late sixties rerelease-- you have to be chemically altered to get through it.
