The Heart in Studio Ghibli

“Many of my movies have strong female leads- brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” Hayao Miyazaki “I do not make… Read More The Heart in Studio Ghibli

Disney Animated Classics: Numbers 6-10 Ranking

The next five films are a unique bunch in the Walt Disney animation collection. Created during World War II with a very limited budget, these films consist of segments inspired by music and incorporate live action in a bid to reduce animation costs.

On hearing the news that icon Doris Day had died yesterday, my mind immediately went to some of her greatest roles like Calamity Jane (1953) and Pillow Talk (1959); however, I always found myself most affected by her brilliant performance as the mother looking for her kidnapped son in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew… Read More The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
