'Finding Dory'
When it comes to PIXAR, they are the best at animation. That is a fact. Despite having some weak entries in the past years, their other movies are still held as one of the all time best. Now, I could argue that because of Toy Story 3, one shouldn’t be worried for The Incredibles 2 and because Brad Bird is returning to direct and write it, we should all be chill, but, fact is, after Toy Story 3, PIXAR took a gigantic hit. Their movies could not match the genius that Toy Story 3 or the previous films were. Now, InsideOut and Coco were strong and powerful movies. Coco was even, in my opinion, the strongest film PIXAR has done since Toy Story 3, but besides Coco and Inside Out, let’s look at other movies that PIXAR released after TS3.

Iconic Movie Moments You Will Not Believe Were Improvised
Planning is everything. Scripts are almost scientific in their creation. They are written in a very specific way that is designed to steers the audience’ journey through the narrative and through the varying desired emotional states.

Dressing Room Essentials
Hi! Doing shows over the years and having dressing rooms has let me pick up a few tips on how to pack for a show effectively. Being in community theatre, we often have to share dressing rooms which can be fun or annoying depending on who you share with (it's mostly fun). That being said, it gives you a limited amount of mirror and overall dressing room space. Here I'll give you a few tips on how to get the most out of your space and a few lifesaving dressing room essentials.

Oscars and the Films of 1989
1989 – The year I graduated from high school put out some great movies. My favorites of the year were When Harry Met Sally, Indiana Jones, Dead Poets Society, The Little Mermaid, Pet Sematary, Born on the 4th of July, and Lean on Me. Of my favorites, only two were nominated and won an Oscar; Oliver Stone got Best Director for Born on the 4th of July and Dead Poets Society won Best Screenplay. Looking over the list of the winners of the 62nd Academy Awards, I am again in disagreement. I wonder if there will ever be a year when I actually agree with them. I doubt it. They said the Best Picture was Driving Miss Daisy—I disagree. They said the Best Actor was Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot—I disagree. They said the Best Actress was Jessica Tandy of Driving Miss Daisy—I disagree again. Let me tell you how I would have awarded the Oscars, and then I'll explain why.

Say It Ain't So! Paramount Officially Pulls the Sequel to 'World War Z' and 'Friday the 13th' off Its Upcoming Slate
I'll take "movie installments virtually no one cares about" for $100, Alex. If you were one of the 12 people on Earth clamoring for the sequel to the 2013 #BradPitt-zombie flick, World War Z or itching for a reboot of the #FridayThe13th franchise, you must unfortunately wait a little while longer.

The Wage Gap Soap Opera
General Hospital's Carly Corinthos was Hell in Heels. She stole her mother's husband, lied about the paternity of her son, and framed her lover for murder, and that was just a Thursday. Her original portrayer, Sarah Joy Brown, won back to back to back Emmys for her performances. Yet today she revealed that she was paid less than half of what her former male costars, Steve Burton and Maurice Bernard, made. This drags soap operas into a national conversation for the first time, and they are not on the right side of history.

The Filipino Moviegoers Love a Really Good Popcorn, Despite Having Too Much of It Can Be Bad for You.
Disclaimer: This is my commentary about Philippine cinema. A rich culture and history is pride for every country and one way to show this pride for all the world to see is through the eyes of cinema.

DC vs. Marvel
So far, it’s no contest. The DCMU vs the MCMU, quality-wise, has been a one-sided affair. Marvel films historically have earned rave reviews and dollars equivalent to their quality. DC films have earned money ... but with the exception of Wonder Woman, few have been as universally loved as their Marvel counterparts. Now, we’re not counting the Nolan Batman films in this mix, at least one of which certainly could compete for the finest comic book film yet made (The Dark Knight, the only movie of either “universe” which has—deservedly—won a major Oscar—Heath Ledger as The Joker). For the purpose of this article, we’re referring to the batch that began with 2013’s Man of Steel for DC, and Iron Man for Marvel in 2008.

Will the 87th Academy Awards Top Last Year's Bizarre Moments?
When I watch Award Shows, especially the TV/Movie ones, I usually don't watch it because a favorite show of mine is nominated or if they won I would feel their victory coursing in my veins through a TV Screen, I usually watch because of the fashion trends the stars would be donning, comedy, something embarrassing to happen, and most of all meme-worthy moments the stars give us. And this is no review since most of the nominated movies in those prestigious Awards shows are either not yet available in my country, or I just couldn't find the time to watch them even if they will be shown in FOX Movies Premium.
