28 Days of Disney Animation: ‘Toy Story,’ Technology, and The Power of Nostalgia
The opening and closing images in the Toy Story trilogy are one and the same: a picture-perfect blue sky with a couple of carefully placed, nonthreatening fluffy clouds in the middle. While both are computer-generated facsimiles, the former is a facsimile of a facsimile: the comforting wallpaper in the bedroom of a little boy named […] More

‘Brave’ and ‘Pixar Short Films Collection, Volume 2’ Blu-rays offer insightful special features
There’s no better proof of Disney’s unparalleled dedication to giving you your money’s worth with their home media than two new releases, Brave and the Pixar Short Films Collection, Volume 2 (though more the former than the latter).

Video Of The Day: What If Pixar Made The Expendables 2?
The Tumblr round-up is a compilation of images, links, posters, stories, videos and so on, taken from the Sound On Sight Tumblr account.

Score At The Half – Hollywood: Zero, Audience: Even Less
Hollywood needs a hit Actually, Hollywood needs a bunch of hits. Actually, Hollywood needs a bunch of big, fat, through-the-roof hits. And with the summer – and the year – half over, the time to come up with them is running out. The movie business finished 2010 with the second highest domestic box office on record: $10.2 […] More

Infographic: Oscars vs. Box Office
Winners of Best Picture range from the budget-breaking Titanic to the relatively inexpensive American Beauty, but an Oscar win can in fact increase ticket sales to a film that normally wouldn’t have most moviegoers flocking to see it on the big screen.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Oscars (part 2)
I will leave the discussion of what/who won/didn’t win and why/why not to others. I have only one concern: Did it work? For the now befuddled, let me recap what I laid out back in January when the 2011 Academy Award nominations were announced: A year earlier, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences […] More

Videocast: Front Row Center Episode 2b: Oscar Talk
In Part 2 of our Oscar prediction special, Justine and Simon weigh in on the remaining major categories, including the main event, Best Picture, on which they are split – will it be initial frontrunner The Social Network, or insurgent award-winner The King’s Speech?

Videocast: Front Row Center Episode 2a: ‘Dogtooth’ (Road to the Oscars)
Infused with its own brand of hyper-stylized realism, Dogtooth feels so out of this world that it’s almost impossible to pin down.

Videocast: Front Row Center Episode 1b: Oscar Talk
Are you already sick of Oscar coverage? Tough luck, ’cause Justine and Simon have some thoughts on the major categories at this year’s festivities, so if you’re planning an Oscar pool – well, maybe look elsewhere, ’cause frankly Simon’s batting average isn’t all that great.
