I’m way late on this, it’s admittedly a minor derail, and haven’t read the entire thread so it might have been answered, but it was the first Ron Perlman Hellboy.

I want to upgrade to Dolby Atmos because I haven't given my wife enough reasons to kill me yet.

Took my almost 4-year-old daughter to see it. She enjoyed the visuals but wasn't able to grasp what was actually going on as easily as Frozen a couple months ago. I was blown away. Apart from being genuinely non-stop hilarious the dichotomy between the instruction followers and the creatives was...

It depends on the age. I don't think, say, a 10-year-old needs to be protected from a downer ending, but younger kids? Sure. I certainly wouldn't want to explain the ending of Where the Red Fern Grows to my 3-year-old ("well sweetheart that bobcat gave the dog such big ouchies that he died, and...

That's certainly not inaccurate, although there are certainly more charitable interpretations as well. Frozen's apparently getting fantastic word-of-mouth with an A+ Cinemascore rating. So it may be that when people show up, even if it's not what the marketing made it out to be, still something...

Get a Horse was terrific. I don't want to say too much since it has a pretty neat secret, but it was really enjoyable. They clearly spent a ton of time studying the classic Mickey Mouse shorts and to my amateur eyes nailed it. The slight jerkiness in the animation from not quite enough frames...

Princess and the Frog did that. Tiana ended up a princess, but almost by default. It certainly wasn't something she aspired to.

I took my 3-year-old to see Frozen Wednesday night and today took my wife and 14-month-old. I only got to rewatch the first half since the baby decided not to cooperate and even at a Disney movie etiquette does put a limit on how distracting they can be, but what I saw definitely reinforced my...

Movies are a business, and ultimately they need to make money. Star Trek at the theater was a sinking ship before 2009, peaking with First Contact wit a substantial fall-off with Insurrection before Nemesis flat-out bombed. Only Voyage Home way back in 1986 crossed the $100 million mark at the...

It was missing THE theme. I know, I know, not happening, but still John Williams' music is indelibly associated with Superman on the big screen. That's the only fault I can find with the trailer. It hit every note dead on, and it seems to directly go against everything wrong with Superman...

I liked it, but wanted to love it and just couldn't, and that hasn't changed with [many] repeat viewings. Tangled and Princess and the Frog both really grew on me the more times I saw them (thanks Michelle!). The former I still think struggles out the gate until after the scene at the Snuggly...

Somme information is starting to float around about a potential sequel. One potential the director is exploring is other Ralph titles showing up, and in particular other entries. It's clearly inspired by Toy Story 2 (which the director freely acknowledges), but the video game nature of the movie...

Shame there's no way to just get the original. I have no desire for Mulan II whatsoever.

New Trailer Looking good. Hopefully they manage to play up the stakes without simply rehashing the previous movie. The fact that the opponent isn't an Evil Iron Man is a really good start though.

The scarier part to me is John Williams. I haven't heard anything in particular about him, but the guy's 80 and a new trilogy is probably nearly a decade's worth of work. Is he still going to be up to scoring and conducting the LSO through three more movies? Edit: Wow I made a lot of typos in...
