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….
Hungry? Want some Insects?
I just watched an interesting TED talk and wanted to pass it along. It raises some interesting points that much of the western world, specifically us in America, will likely be resistant to. All the same, I think its definately something to consider, earlier rather than later, as the experience of food will no doubt…
Thesis Update
I am one week away from wrapping up the first semester’s worth of work on my thesis, currently called Inheritance. Its been quite a ride! Next saturday is the senior show, a showcase to all years of Ringling’s computer animation and game art majors of the senior thesis work in progress. At this stage, we…
