Movie Munch: TRON-ATHON (original+legacy)

In preparation for seeing the recently released Tron Legacy, my father and I were trying to hunt down a copy of the original Tron. That was a lot harder than it should have been! Naturally there was a lot of demand for it, being that its an older film and the newer one which was…

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to wish a very merry christmas and happy new year to anyone who reads this. I hope you are surrounded by loved ones, soaking up and dishing out tons of love! Head into this new year with a fresh perspective, an ambition, and a hunger for all the wonders life holds! ~Cliff

Movie Munch: Julie and Julia

Julie and Julia was a neat little true story film about Julia Child and Julie Powell, the latter of which wrote a book (out in 2005) with the same name, which this movie is based off of. I liked the idea, it is a comparison and contrast of the lives of these two “julies” bouncing back and…

Movie Munch: Tangled

Tangled! I was extremely surprised by this film. Among my peers in animation, of course, there was a lot of talk about it and how great it was, but I hadn’t had a chance to see it until after our senior work in progress show. The trailer is really kind of crummy so I won’t post it…

Movie Munch: Outland

I’m on a science fiction kick, and for movie munches at the moment that means old sci-fi. I’m interested to see the various ways people imagined the future…. in the past. More on that later. I found Outland , a 1981 sci-fi. Apparently in the future, we can get to and sustain a full out…

Fall semester ends!

Its been quite a ride, but today after the senior work in progress show we can finally un-wind some, and sleep some! Its not a good idea (and against our rules) to be putting things up on line in terms of thesis) until later when its ready, so I won’t be doing that – I…

Movie Munch: Vallhala Rising

Don’t watch this movie. Unless you are tremendously interested in diagonals within compositions and leading lines, and even if you are – you should probably steer clear of this one. I’ll get to why in a sec. Firstly, I don’t want to be overly judgemental as there are certain things within this film which, on…

Like Movies? Like movie Trailers?

I just discovered something that I am quite surprised that I never knew about before, and that would be FirstShowing.net. Perhaps the coolest thing about it is that, if you are a google calendar user (and if you aren’t, why aren’t you?) they have a supposedly meticulously updated theatrical release schedule for everything all in…

Movie Munch: Erik the Viking

A monty-python-esque film from 1989, Erik the Viking was a pretty fun ride for a cheese film. I don’t want to scare you away just yet, but here is an old trailer.  That is an awful trailer. Don’t worry, the movie is better…. a little bit. <snicker> I should mention also that there are apparently two…

Movie Munch: Paycheck

I saw this one quite a while ago. Hard to believe it came out almost 8 years ago now. Well… not that hard. I selected it because I remember being somewhat surprised by it, but didn’t have all the specifics down in my head. I recalled the premise and general plot, but not the details….
