Trailer: The Secret of Kells

Posted on March 7, 2010 at 8:00 am

Here’s the first glimpse of the animated film that came out of nowhere to get an Oscar nomination, The Secret of Kells. The New York Times’ A.O. Scott wrote, “it is only fitting that a movie concerned with the power and beauty of drawing — the almost sacred magic of color and line — should be so gorgeously and intricately drawn.” Can’t wait!

Coming Soon on IMAX

Posted on January 16, 2010 at 8:00 am

The success of “Avatar” has shown audiences how vivid and immersive 3D IMAX movies can be and so I am especially glad to see a wonderful new slate of upcoming 3D IMAX films for 2010 including Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” with Johnny Depp, the animated “How to Train Your Dragon,” and two eagerly-awaited sequels: “Shrek Forever After” and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” Can’t wait!

More from the Muppets

Posted on January 7, 2010 at 8:00 am

The Wrap reports that the Muppets are having a comeback.

After being put to pasture a few years ago following a string of disappointing films and a ho-hum return to TV, the Muppets are a pop culture phenomenon once again.

And they’re doing it by popping up all over the Disney corporate matrix, including appearances on ABC and ESPN programs, top billing on the Walt Disney Company’s homepage and, soon, in a network special and feature film written by “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star Jason Segel.

They’ve adapted to the era of social networking with two videos that have become viral sensations.

Coming up — a Halloween special scheduled for fall 2010. Can’t wait!
