CGI Storytelling: Why WALL-E Works and Kung Fu Panda Doesn’t
Posted on July 8, 2008 | 5 CommentsThis last week I saw two CGI movies which came highly recommended, Kung Fu Panda and WALL-E. While both films received relatively good reviews, only one told a compelling story, the other was filled with tired cliches and jokes interrupted with marketing moments.

The Playfulness of Indiana Jones
Posted on May 22, 2008 | 4 CommentsAlan Noble takes a look at the new Indy movie. When I first heard that Lucas and Spielberg were making a new Indiana Jones film, I wanted to track Lucas down and give him my $6.25 so I wouldn't have to watch another classic franchise become lost to bad dialog and not-really-believable digital effects. I left our local movie theater 20 minutes ago and I am pleased to say that my fears were misplaced--sort of. -
