So I have this really arbitrary belief that I need to start the year off right with a great film and a great book. (Let’s not ask how that went last year.)
That’s why I put off Soul but it’s certainly fills the great film slot.
Onward
Directed By: Dan Scanlon
It was a bit strange to see the Simpson’s get the short film spot in front of the new Pixar movie Onward. Honestly I thought the whole short was a bit odd. But I haven’t seen any new Simpsons stuff since the movie.
First off that we didn’t even get a D’uh from Homer made it seem a little lacking.
And second it basically confirmed that Maggie is a thirty year old woman trapped in a babies body and behaved with that boy in the park like I would if I got within ten yards of Tom Hardy or Jon Bernthal.
Toy Story 4
Directed By: Josh Cooley
These stupid toys! Why? Why are they better at pulling the emotion than almost any other movie I’ve seen this year?
I spent most of this movie contemplating the likely fate of a spork, being annoyed with a toy and wishing he would grow up and thinking that another toy could do a heck of a lot better in the guy department.
Yeah these characters are more human than the human characters in some recent movies and shows.
