The Fidos 2009
There are dog people and then there are cat people. It seems that moviegoers are definitely in the former camp, with nearly $2.5 billion dollars spent on tickets to films where mutts appear. Up, which contains legions of the barking beasties, has raked in $646 million alone… and counting. ...

The Avatar Soundtrack: Our First Reaction
Deep in the bowels of 20th Century Fox, we got a chance to listen to the most anticipated score of 2009: James Horner’s music for James Cameron’s Avatar. As you would imagine — and even on the tiny speakers we heard them on — the music is huge in scope and heart. ...

My generally delighful and lovely but rather strong-minded extended family is getting together this Christmas for my grandmothers XXth birthday* and before the big family dinner we're ...

How Scary Should Kids Movies Be?
Yesterday I found Babe: Pig in the City on TV and finally decided to find out if it was disappointing (as I'd heard) or one of the best sequels ever (as I'd also heard). Turns out it was pretty darn fantastic, what with the witty geography*, demented storyline and superb animal acting, ...

Who Should Host The Oscars Now?
Hugh Jackman has decided that he won't be returning next year to host the 82nd Annual Academy Awards - but who will take up the baton mantle envelope in his place? After the changes to the show's format last year, do they have to be able to sing and dance? Should they be devastatingly handsome ...
