Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 139: ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’
News team…assemble! …What’s that? Oh, right, we’re not talking about Ron Burgundy and his anchormen friend this week, we’re talking about The Avengers! OK, just one of the Avengers in his latest solo picture: Captain America: The Winter Soldier. (Of course, as Josh found out, Captain America isn’t actually the Winter Soldier. Oh well.) This […] More

Disney Blu-ray Roundup: ‘The Pirate Fairy’
The Pirate Fairy Directed by Peggy Holmes USA, 2014 I’m not typically fond of reviews in which the writer says, in effect, “This movie wasn’t made for me,” mostly because it seems like a way in which to award something a potentially undeserved free pass. This claim frequently crops up in reviews of family films […] More

Disney Blu-ray Round-up: ‘Frozen’
Frozen is one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, raking in over $1 billion worldwide in barely 4 months. If you ignore inflation or re-releases, it is the highest-grossing film from Walt Disney Animation Studios ever. A few weeks ago, it became the first of Disney’s (not Pixar’s) animated features to win the […] More

Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 134: ‘Toy Story 3’
Get out a box or two of tissues, friends, because if you’re like Gabe or Josh, you’re probably going to need them as we discuss Toy Story 3 on the new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema. Closing out their trilogy of discussions about what might very well be the best American cinematic trilogy ever, Gabe and […] More

Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 125: ‘Toy Story’
Happy new year, friends! We’re kicking things off in 2014 right by going back to the old bedroom and playing with some of our toys. That sounded a little weird, right? Well, the non-weird thing said in a weird way may be the secret theme of the first new Mousterpiece Cinema of 2014, as Gabe […] More

Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 121: ‘Frozen’
OK, we know that we kept you waiting for an extra week, but finally, it’s time for Mousterpiece Cinema to get cold. In fact, we’re so cold, we’re…wait for it…Frozen! Yes, this week, Josh and Gabe take a look at Walt Disney Animation Studios’ newest film, a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen featuring the […] More

‘Frozen’ a pleasant enough experience despite standing in the shadows of Disney animated classics
Walt Disney Animation Studios has become, in its relative old age, both charmingly and cripplingly self-conscious. Each new entry seems to quiver in the shadow of the greats, the vaunted classics that have become untouchable for many. More

Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 118: ‘Thor: The Dark World’
Friends, it’s hammer time. (Listen, someone was going to make that joke, so it might as well be made right here.) Yes, once more, your intrepid hosts of Mousterpiece Cinema jump into the ever-expanding pool known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This week, Josh and Gabe have their sights set on Marvel’s newest, Thor: The Dark […] More

Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 117: ‘The Little Mermaid’
There’s music galore in the new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, and why shouldn’t there be? On this week’s podcast, Josh and Gabe put on their diving gear and went under the sea to swim and frolic and generally be merry with the starfish, bass, crabs, and even more sea life. Yes, it’s time to talk […] More

Disney Blu-ray Roundup: ‘Monsters University’
2013 has been, by all accounts, a forgettable year of mainstream animated films at best, and a woeful one at worst. With only two fully animated films left to be released on a wide platform—the upcoming 20th Century Fox film Walking with Dinosaurs is partially animated—it’s not likely that anyone will look back on this […] More

Disney Blu-ray Round-up: ‘The Little Mermaid’
As it arrives on Blu-ray for the first time, the same theme kept cropping up for me while watching The Little Mermaid: bad timing. Now, before you light your torches and sharpen your pitchforks, let’s get one thing out of the way immediately: this is still an enormously satisfying film. The quartet of big musical numbers […] More

Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 111: ‘Ghosts of the Abyss’
It’s Josh’s birthday, and his wish has come true: to travel to the depths of the ocean to explore the wreck of the infamous Titanic. OK, maybe that wasn’t exactly his birthday wish, but that is the topic of this week’s Mousterpiece Cinema: the 2003 documentary Ghosts of the Abyss, starring and directed by Oscar-winner/cinematic titan […] More
