Toy Story was likely the first Pixar movie many of us saw, so naturally it has an enduring place in the hearts of the film studio's fans. For those who can't get enough of the movie, Lee Unkrich, director of Toy Story 3, tweeted a link to a full line of Toy Story-inspired fashion, perfect for wearing your Buzz or Woody love right on your sleeve. According to another tweet by Lee, the clothing, Read more
Back in April we got a taste of Toy Story 3 with this little teaser, but that was nothing compared to the full-length trailer. It doesn't take much more than Randy Newman's voice and a few flashbacks to Andy's life with Woody, Buzz, and the gang to remind me how Pixar can be so damn emotionally manipulative — in the best way, of course. In the movie's third installment, little Andy is all Read more
Well, the numbers speak for themselves — people love a Vince Vaughn movie. I was admittedly lukewarm about Couples Retreat, but that didn't stop it from cashing in at the box office. The ensemble comedy took in $35.3 million, making it the first big hit for Universal after a lackluster Summer. Last week's winner Zombieland dropped to No. 2 with $15 million, at No. 3 was Cloudy With a Chance of Read more
It's a Pixar kind of week around here what with a quiz and an Up review. Now, to add to the Pixar madness we've got a cute little teaser for the third Toy Story movie, opening June 18, 2010. Story-wise, nothing is revealed in the video, it's mostly just Buzz trying to one-up Woody on the Toy Story 3 sign — but oh, golly, it is so adorable. And it made me laugh. So, for a little dash of Read more
From the looks of it, many of you also have a soft spot in your hearts for animated family movies — those cartoony films that are often marketed primarily toward children, but are totally enjoyable for adults as well. Scrolling through the titles you all suggested for this week's Buzzworthy challenge was like a pleasant walk down memory lane, though I also learned about some movies I'd never Read more
Don't be shy . . . It's time to talk sex toys! And Hysteria director Tanya Wexler is writing us a prescription for pleasure. Tanya's film — what she calls "the vibrator movie you can bring your mom to" — is in limited release and stars Hugh Dancy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Rupert Everett. When working on a romantic comedy that centers around the invention of the vibrator, you end up with some Read more

Last night, while washing the dishes, I broke a ceramic baker, cutting my finger and sending me running for first aid. The only bandages I could find in the house were decorated with Toy Story characters and Angry Birds; not exactly what this sophisticated mama wanted to be wearing today. That was just one of the many moments I realized I knew I was a mom. We know that you've experienced those Read more
I don't remember aliens making an appearance in my own childhood sessions with Battleship, but I suppose when you try to make a toy into a feature-length film, you're afforded a few liberties. Unfortunately, the producers of Battleship may have spent too much time finding creative ways to explode things and not enough time on a plot, ending up with underutilized actors, in a wishy-washy Read more
