"Even if you love the original Escape to Witch Mountain, you have to welcome a remake. The 1975 sci-fi Disney film has some very dated special effects — though the visible wires used to “levitate” a handgun and a harmonica give it a campy charm — and it’s not exactly the well-respected classic that The Black Hole or Old Yeller is, anyway. So, better a remake (or “modern re-imagining”) of a slightly beloved movie, which has already been redone once, to give The Rock another fulfillment of his Disney contract and utilize all the “perfect” digital effects now available. While it seems that eventually all Dis "

"It’s beginning to look a lot like 1991. A former Disney starlet is on track for a Best Actress nomination. One of cinema’s greatest villainous performances is a sure thing for an acting Oscar. And, due to a relatively disappointing crop of Academy Award contenders, an animated feature is being talked about for Best Picture. One major difference between now and 1991, however, is now there’s a separate Oscar category for Best Animated Feature. While that doesn’t mean Wall-E can’t be the first animated film nominated in the top category since Beauty and the Beast, it does potentially mean that it shouldn’t be. Historically, animated features have been marginalized by the Academy, though not unfairly. The first of its kind in the U.S., Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was not adequately recognized at the 1938 Oscars, so the Academy gave Disney a speci "

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx Mary Poppins is on the following AFI lists: 100 Greatest Film Songs (#36 - "Supercalifragilisticexpialido cious")25 Greatest Movie Musicals (#6) What can I say about Mary Poppins? The biased part of me thinks the film should have made the all-time greatest lists rather than just the greatest musicals list, but that is truly bias speaking because the film is not perfect. Still, Mary Poppins is my all-time favorite Disney film and a truly great musical film, and I think it definitely deserves to be #6 on that musicals list if nothing else. (PS, If you're wondering, I copied and pasted Supercalifragilisticexpialidoc ious here and above. No sense in straining my brain that long and hard on that one). I think it gets points first for story: even though it's an amalgamation of several stories by P. L. Travers, ... "

"An excellent blogathon began over the weekend, sparked by this post at All About Movies (incidentally, this is a testament to the great democratizing power of the blogosphere: the post was written by Emma, a British high school student who admits in her Blogger profile that her site "sometimes shifts into fashion-blog, or even worse, hormonal teenage girl-blog.") The theme? Performances That Changed My Life. My favorite contribution so far is Self-Styled Siren's entry on Ginger Roger's turn as an acid-tongued chorine in 42nd Street. The Siren offers eight lessons that she learned from Annie. Lesson #2 involves the crucial relationship between self-confidence and risky fashion: "When Anytime Annie enters, she is wearing tweeds and a monocle. And, in the modern parlance, she rocks them." Other very-good entries include Peter Nellhaus on Sean Connery in From Russia With Love; and Nathaniel R's take on the great ghost-singer Marti Nixon's work in West Side Story. Since it's Tuesday, ... "

"I'm calling this one my Annie Hall/Barry Lyndon Memorial list (just to keep it interesting).1. Fitzcarraldo (1982) - It's the story of a man who will stop at nothing to pull a ship over a mountain, made by a a man who will stop at nothing to make a film about a man who pulls a ship over a mountain.2. Faust (1926) - Have you seen this film? Seriously, how the heck did they make this thing back then. Very scary.3. Alexander Nevsky (1938) - So unbelievably epic. You can still see it's influence on films Action/Epic films to this day. 4. Ed Wood (1994) - Burton's best film ever. The best biopic film ever. Best film of 1994. One of my favorite films of all time.5. Mary Poppins (1964) - Loved it as a kid. Love it as an adult. It's a classic that never grows old or dated, so shut up!!Here are some of my runners up:Princess Mononoke (1997)Ivan The Terrible Part:I (1944)Barton Fink (1991) "
