Look at that fluffy unicorn! He’s so fluffy I’m gonna die! It’s so fluffy!!! Absolutely delightful film. Great heart, great story, really enjoyable experience. The 3-D was a little much for me…about half the time I couldn’t stop thinking about recent articles about 3-D TV’s and how 3-D is a cheap approximation of what our [...]

Absolutely brilliant!

A very well done remake. I wasn’t too impressed with the trailers (well ok, I was cuz stuff blew up, but still), but the film is absolutely phenomenal – a real hoot and it pays respect in all the right places to what came before and especially to those who came before (that’s right…keep an [...]

Pizza Planet truck!!! A113 license plate!!! Pizza Planet driver!!! My Neighbor Totoro!!! Bud Luckey (Rick Ricker from The Incredibles)!!! Lee Unkrich did an absolutely incredible job tying together everything the Toy Story universe has meant to a generation of fans. This film is absolutely phenomenal. And there’s really awesome promotional materials all over the place! [...]

Directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter 5), music by Harry Gregson-Williams (Chronicles of Narnia). Very enjoyable. Little kid free running + big kid free running. I never played Prince of Persia (preferred Assassins Creed), but story looks like fun (if adaptation is loyal).

A really impressive youth production! Laura helped out with costumes and MADE Belle’s ballroom gown in 2 days.  Isn’t it amazing?

A highly enjoyable show that is an all female cast (good to remember from a production mindset). People I Knew: Kieran, Summer, Jennifer.

People I know: Whitney Ackerman (Danny Zuko), Amanda Baker (Marty), Brian Sipkovich (Kenickie), David Kinne (Sonny), Jonathan Dean (Vince Fontaine), Josh Alton (Teen Angel), Sarah Harrington (Anita), Megan Berndt (Peggy), and my amazingly talented sister Alyssa Heckman (Sherry). Aside from adding the song “Hopelessly Devoted To You” from the movie (which was a nice moment [...]

A delightful production. By turns a gluttonous multimedia extravaganza and tantalizingly fictional tale based in Motown, Diana Ross and the Supremes. Phenomenal performances even from the third tier!

Laura and I elected to not pay a surcharge for fancy 3D. Directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois?!?!?! That’s what you get, Disney! Well, then again Disney couldn’t make a movie like this one, but my point is somehow still valid! Not really, I’m just stubborn. Anyways – as I understand it, Chris and [...]
