On September 5, 1927, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit debuted in the animated short “Trolly Troubles.” The short, which clocks in at a little over six minutes, was the creation of Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, who chose a rabbit to differentiate their character from the glut of animated cats on the market. “Trolly Troubles” is springy and funny, with a lot of mileage wrung from Oswald’s gaggle of children (he is a rabbit after all). While Disney and Iwerks only completed 26 Oswald shorts for Universal Pictures, the character would become incredibly important to Disney (and later the company …
Shout! Studios has released the trailer for Misbehaviour. The film follows the Women’s Liberation Movement protesting against the 1970 Miss World competition for objectifying and demeaning women. However, the film also follows the story of Miss Grenada, the first black woman to be crowned Miss World. I’m intrigued by this film, not only because it has an outstanding cast, but because of how it looks like it’s exploring intersectional feminism. On the one hand, you have a bunch of white women protesting Miss World for demeaning women and allowing misogynistic humor from host Bob Hope. But on …
With today’s news that Star Wars Celebration wouldn’t happen this year, with the official Star Wars convention not returning until 2022, we thought it might be fun to look back at Disney’s first, all-but-forgotten attempt at an official sci-fi convention: Contact 96. Don't worry if you've never heard about it because honestly nobody has (people who were there barely remember it), but from its inauspicious beginnings, it would end up inspiring one of the key special events at Walt Disney World for decades and feed into the resort's emphasis on food …
The first season of Dirty John hit the small screen like a ton of bricks. Starring Eric Bana as con artist John Meehan and Connie Britton as Debra Newell, the woman who would fall head-over-heels in love with him, only to realize too late the horrible mistake she made, ended in violence — just like the real case the episodes were based on. It's been a year-and-a-half and the show is back, but this time around, Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story digs its teeth into the brutal true-crime tale of the rise and …
Early in the quarantine, when I was compiling a list of movies to watch, I remembered one about a porn star who attacked his co-workers with a samurai sword. The problem was, I couldn't recall the title. I put out a friendly call for help on Twitter, and within minutes was told that the movie I was searching for was called Mope, and it still hadn't been released yet despite a well-reviewed festival run. I looked up the film's director, Lucas Heyne, and realized that I knew his manager, Zach Cox at Circle of Confusion, …
Hot on the heels of the release of Todd Haynes’ Dark Waters, in comes director Andrew Levitas’ second feature film, Minamata. As another movie based on a true story that involves the little guy going up against a major corporation, it’s impossible not to draw comparisons to Dark Waters and perhaps one of the most well known of the bunch, Erin Brockovich. But, the multitude of films covering similar situations seems necessary for two reasons. First off, I knew little to nothing about Minamata disease; clearly there’s a need to raise awareness. And secondly, having multiple movies covering …
There was a number of obstacles that almost stopped The Little Mermaid from becoming a part of your world.
Note: This is a re-post of our Bad Education review from the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. The film is now available as an HBO Original Film. While Hugh Jackman’s legacy will forever be tied to playing Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, every now and then he finds a meaty role that serves as a reminder that he’s also a tremendously skilled dramatic actor with plenty of colors that have gone underutilized for far too long. That’s the case with Bad Education, the second feature from Thoroughbreds writer/director Cory Finley in which Jackman plays …
From director Greg Barker, who also directed a documentary about the same subject in 2009, the Netflix original film Sergio tells the real-life story of Sergio Vieira de Mello (played by Narcos alum Wagner Moura), a complex man who spent the majority of his career as a top United Nations diplomat navigating deals with everyone from presidents to war criminals, in order to protect the lives of the people. But after he takes one last assignment in Baghdad following the U.S. invasion, a bomb blast brings the UN headquarters crashing down on him, forcing him to confront his …
