Misery is just about this reviewer’s favorite Stephen King adaptation. Its director, Rob Reiner , was the only one entrusted with that adaptation because the author knew the director would adapt it we...

The first time I heard the name Mike Mignola was after I received a set of his Topps comic adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula . As a lifelong comic reader, I’m ashamed to say I’d missed his...

I don’t cry in movies. It’s just not my way. But I have to confess that twenty years ago, upon sitting down to watch Steven Speilberg ’s World War II magnum opus, the recreation of the Normandy invasi...

Pixar never cease to surprise me. On the sole summary of one of their stories, I almost never get a sense of just how much I may fall in love with whatever they’re dishing out. Toy Story, The Incredib...

Although this isn’t the first of Disney ’s attempts to redo their animated back catalogue, I think it had the hardest job. The mastery of motion capture technology and the sophistication that computer...
