God, I still hate Phil Collins. I'd infinitely rather listen to Dion than Collins (or Lionel Richie, for that matter). But I now equate Collins with "American Psycho" so there's that. (I know the key scene involved Huey Lewis, but didn't Patrick Bateman also have a fondness for Collins?)

Or, "I Want It Both Ways."

"Even Now" "Weekend in New England" "Ready to Take A Chance Again" "When October Goes"…say what you will about the man, when he nails the music + emotion equation, he can deliver quite the uppercut.

Why we are you talking about her looks when this article is about her voice/songs?

No, that was this spring's "The D-Train."

This sounds like a rejiggering of some of the ingredients from "The D-Train," which despite some problems was a pretty gutsy little movie, and Jack Black and James Marsden played their roles to the hilt. Pity this movie wasn't that courageous.

The reason that they gave super-stretching to the mom (Holly Hunter) in "The Incredibles" was that it was a metaphor for everything moms do in real life (notice how it allows her to discipline/save multiple children simultaneously). The only other appropriate metaphor would've been having her sprout multiple arms and…

Don't agree with you about "Ant Man" which I to be found a comic joy, but totally agree with you about the previous "Fantastic 4" movies and "Man of Steel."

God love you, I still wince when I think about the '83 Oscars. Nice to know.

For the record, Emmerich is openly gay, though that doesn't make his past movies any better. And as talented as Lee is, I'm hard pressed to think of a significant LGBT character in one of his movies aside from "She Hate Me." So this way of thinking leads to a lot of blind alleys. (You want a film director of color…

(Tiny voice: "Or birds….") :)

I'm a little nonplussed at the venom this trailer is getting in some quarters. Yes, one of the main characters is a cute white guy; this was true of the 1995 version of the story as well, though it seemed more like a 3-legged stool, with Guillermo Diaz (never better) as La Miranda, Frederick Weller as Matty Dean, and…

"Bittersweet" is the perfect adjective for "Peanuts."

This is true—there are moments of love and affection between them (and of course "Snoopy Come Home," designed to make all children under the age of 10 cry their eyes out), but Snoopy on more than one occasion referred to Charlie Brown as "that round-headed kid." Most of the strips of the 60's focused on Charlie Brown…

Yes to all these comments. I've blathered on before about how good Beals and Berkeley are during the pivotal stretch of the movie, and am so thrilled others agree. Loved hearing Beals take on that cab ride shot, where she's so weary yet so beautiful.

Shockingly true!

I was born in '66, so I think I saw a re-release in 1969 of "Peter Pan" at the Bay theater in Ballard—I would've been around 3. I loved, loved, loved it and it's still my favorite, though as an adult I'm not blind to what was dropped from Barrie's story and the missteps in animating the Indians. I vaguely remember…

Get the biggest screen you can for "Sleeping Beauty"—it's designed to really dazzle your eyeballs. Otherwise, the story is weak tea.

"What Made the Red Man" is unfortunately a great song musically—the constant thrum of drumming and chanting weaving with the melody and the orchestrations creates a really amazing piece of music. ("Peter Pan" is filled with gorgeous choral work; Leonard Maltin chose it as one of his favorite underrated Disney…

You could try to argue (if you're white) that some ethnic humor like this is a form of "gentle ribbing," the way a lot of ethnic jokes started in vaudeville—largely told by people from those countries or backgrounds. (Whether that was an example of self-loathing is for armchair psychologists.) It's a kind of "guy's…
