I watch the Oscars every year. Something you always have to consider is who you want to win, and who should win. There's a big difference between those two. Watching last night, these three winners surprised me.

This win surprised me because from the past, the academy really doesn't seem to care for…

Seems like it simply wouldn't be a summer without either a Disney or Pixar movie, and with the two companies melded together now that's at least one thing you can bet on. However, despite the immense success of "The Avengers" the two studios have been under a transition process as of late. Between less-than-warm critical responses and financial difficulties, Pixar…

If competition breeds excellence, then Pixar must have been pushed to their limit to create an even better masterpiece than their previous attempts.  In 2011, not only had Pixar released their first critical disappointment with Cars 2, but also they had gone head to head with…

      Pixar, the computer animated studio that everyone loves. Whether you are young, old, cynical or easy to please, everyone has at least one or more Pixar movie that is somewhere on the list of their favorite movies of all time. However, Pixar has been somewhat been going downhill according to many fans. Yes, Cars 2 was…

In this our 67th episode of the Braingasm Podcast we were joined by our two reporters in the field, Scott Johnson (@scottpjthouhgts) and Denis McElwaine (@den1981). They joined us to talk about their recent assignments to cover the event known as Spill Dot Con. But we'll get to that a little later.

We began as we do every week with Scott pondering as to whether "67" should/does have a sex position named after it. Listening to it in context it makes no more sense I'm…

Now I was on a reviewing break for a while, but then I remember that this isn’t a review I’m doing, it’s mostly a look into this year’s summer movies and seeing or predicting how well they perform, hold up and what they will be up against at the time.

This time around, I am focusing on the releases in June 2012, which is the month where every kid is out from school (at least here where I’m at) but then again it’s nothing really that special, it’s just the month where it’s a perfect…

At this point, I don't need to see trailers for new Disney/Pixar films. If Pixar is involved, I'm going to see the movie no matter what. However, this recent trailer for their upcoming 'Brave' does hit upon several of the elements that make us love Pixar films in the first place: outstanding lead characters, emotionally resonate stories, and tear-jerking music. I absolutely love this trailer, and I'd hazard…

While the world seems to be divided on Pixar's next animated film, 'Brave' (due to the critical disappointment in 'Cars 2' and persistent rumors of behind-the-scenes disagreements after Disney's takeover of the company), there's no debating that at the very least it will look incredible. Pixar has always strived to maintain an interesting look for their characters and worlds, and it seems that…

2012 is almost among us, and it’s about time to be thinking about what’s about to come next year. For me one of these things just happens to be the movies of 2012. Sure, 2011 was a great year for movies, but next year has a ton of great films to look forward to. There so much to look forward to, chances are you’re probably not going to agree with everything on this list, but you know what, that’s why it’s a good list. Hopefully these films will be worth the wait for me and everyone else who…

Disney•Pixar has unveiled the theatrical trailer for their first joint original film 'Brave'. Formerly titled 'The Bear and the Bow', the film was in the early stages of pre-production during the big Disney buy-out and was subsequently drastically overhauled by the Mouse House, making this the first original property the new company has produced. Had this film been released after…

Oh man I love Pixar. Seriously, can they do no wrong? Ten movies, countless shorts, all of them of high quality. So why the title? Well I just heard about the announcement of the sequel to Monsters Inc, cleverly titled: Monsters Inc. 2.

Rumours of this movie have been on and off for the past year, and now it has been confirmed and given a release date:

NOVEMBER 16TH, 2012

Woah, woah, woah. Hold on there Pixar. I thought you already…

With some films, you can understand how performances can garner an Academy Award or Golden Globe nomination. How Jodie Foster managed to pull off a Golden Globe nomination with this pile escapes me. Yes, it's not a recent film, but this pissed me off so much that I decided to write about it, as if it mattered at this point.
