"The "Pride Lands of Africa" is ruled by "Mufasa" (voiced by James Earl Jones), a lion. His wife, "Sarabi" (voiced by Madge Sinclair), has given birth to an heir named "Simba," and his brother "Scar" (voiced by Jeremy Irons) is not happy that now he is second in line to the throne. "Scar" so wants to be king that he would do anything to get rid of his brother and nephew. He conspires with three hyenas (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, and Jim Cummings respectively) to kill the cub (voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas). He then comes up with a plan to trap his nephew, and kill his brother. When "Mufasa" is killed in the trap, and "Simba" survives, "Scar" gets the young cub to believe that his father's death was his fault, and gets him to run away. "Scar" then informs the pride that both were killed. While in the unwarranted exile, "Simba" is befriended by "Timon" (Nathan Lane), a meercat, and "Pumbaa" (Ernie Sabella), a warthog who is a little slow at times and has a problem wit ... " [More]

10 Great Movies About Brothers

"If there’s one thing I relate to on the big screen, it’s the depiction of fraternal relationships. I’m the middle of three brothers (excluding the half-brother I only knew as a toddler and the former stepbrother I only knew briefly as an adult), and at different points in my life I’ve either hated them or considered them my best friends. So, yeah, I can’t wait to see Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as new siblings who go from being enemies to BFFs when forced to live together. Choosing a handful of favorite movies about brotherhood is really tough. After all, tales of brothers go all the way back to almost the beginning, with the story of Cain and Abel. And a number of favorites can’t exactly be discussed, because the revelation of brothers, especially twin brothers, is often the surprise twist in films. So, before you start naming a thousand other films about brothers that I’ve forgotten (such as The Brothers McMullen and Legends of the Fall), keep in mind ... " [More]

"So, it’s only the Thursday schedule they’re leaking over at the San Diego headquarters for Comic-Con, but it looks packed. Start the day with a coffee and Click & Clack, The Tappit Brothers (only PBS would cash in on primetime Family Guy territory with an animated NPR talk show), then head over for a sneak peak at Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly in a remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, more campy source material to convert into a money maker. (Check back, we’ll be liveblogging Comic-Con 2008 when it starts, July 24.) Read the full Thursday schedule for Comic-Con 2008 after the jump. (h/t Shawna Benson on FriendFeed) Thursday, July 24 10:00-11:00 Click & Clack’s As the Wrench Turns—Behind the scenes at PBS’s hilarious new primetime toon, based on the famous radio show Car Talk, direct from Car Talk Plaza! Catch a sneak peek of a new episode, plus Q&A with the creators: Tom Sito ([More]

""The Lion King". That movie is down right beautiful! I have to say. On the whole I am not a big Disney fan but this movie is such a work of art. It has everything that DIsney often prides it's self in; the best animation, the best art, and great songs and story that (as they love to remind us whenever they can) the whole family can enjoy. Personally that last one drives me through the roof. "Bambi" didn't have any musical aspect to it. Maybe there was that song with the rain but there is not what I am talking about.But although "The Lion King" has all that stuff that I have said that I loath with a burning passion I say this to credit it. It finds a balance. It is one movie that an entire family could watch anywhere anytime forever and enjoy it. How often has Disney done that? Since "The Lion King", never. But this isn't really even what I want to talk about.What I want to talk about is this; Disney, on several occasions has taken ... " [More]
