The high standards that Pixar created with the release of Inside Out, made everybody focus all their attention and opinions on the new movie titled The Good Dinosaur. Was is it wrong for Pixar to release the dino movie after all the public struggling they had regarding the storyline and after firing director Bob Peterson?

Review: It’s a Wonderful Life – It’s a Wonderful Movie
Even though it’s not Christmas anymore, this movie still comes to my mind from time to time. Maybe it’s the acting, maybe it’s the feeling that the film offered me, maybe it’s about the black & white images or maybe it’s because Continue reading
