Few decades have consistently produced as many animated delights as the one we happen to be in right now. Sure, Pixar’s best stuff remains almost entirely in the aughts, but from 2010 on, other studios have found their own feet in the animation game and the variety of animated films available alone makes this decade remarkable in this particular world. And that’s ignoring all the great movies that have been made thanks largely to animators over the last six years, from this year’s uproariousNuts!...

The Netflix Christmas Universe: How All the Movies Connect

It is generally assumed that either Lifetime or the Hallmark Channel has the market cornered on sappy Christmas movies, especially when it comes to the onslaught of new films that are released year in and year out; however, Netflix has joined a host of other basic cable channels in creating their own Christmas flicks — but with a particularly clever twist. Out of the streamer’s holiday offerings, there is a fair number of their movies that are interconnected, which in turn has led to the inarguable creation of what can only be referred to as the NCU, or Netflix Christmas Universe....

Wheelman Los Angeles Screening Standby Details

One of the reasons I love film festivals is you often get to see films before you’ve read a review or seen a trailer. Most of the time you’ll watch something with no idea of the twists and turns that are coming and it’s one of the reasons those early film festival screenings can have huge reactions. But it’s hard to experience that early screening magic unless you’re in the industry or a member of the press....
