Fun is the word for how this looks, and I’m excited to learn more about the history behind how storks came to be known for delivering babies.
I’m also looking forward to meeting the stork I imagine that Samberg is voicing.

Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara and George Takei are the stars of Kubo on the Strings, an intriguing new animated film.
Directed by Travis Knight, I don’t know much about the story, but the visuals in this trailer sure have my attention.
Right now, I’m guessing that what’s coming is an adventure with a very tiny but mighty protagonist.
Kubo & The two Strings Release Date (s): August 19th, 2016 (US), September 9th, 2016 (UK)…

Inside Out is an intelligent animated film about a young girl (Riley) and her emotions. Particularly how Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust try to agree on the best way to get through Riley’s days after her surroundings change unexpectedly.
Directed by Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen; Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, Bill Hader, Phyllis Smith and Lewis Black provide the key character voices.
Being an animated movie, cuteness was always likely; but my, oh my is Sadness the cutest! Watch it for a little education on how memories work, why each one memory/emotion is important and for Amy Poehlers wonderfully hopeful voice.

Directed by Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane; Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks return in Finding Dory, the sequel to Disney Pixar’s big hit animated film, Finding Nemo (2003).

Along with Nemo, Marlin and Dory, I’d also really like to be reunited with the family of turtles met by Dory and Marlin, en route to Sydney Harbour. That would make me very happy indeed.

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Anomalisa (2015).
Charlie Kaufman, writer of Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004) has a new movie, and it’s an intriguing stop-motion drama/comedy.
This looks rather good. However, the trailer would probably have been more enjoyable if the textual interruptions were grouped together at the end. Unfortunately, what this trailer edit implies to me is that the editor doesn’t believe that a version of the trailer without the interrupting text is quite enough to keep people engaged and watching. So, instead, we are rudely reminded over and over again of what others think of the film, rather than being left to take in what’s actually happening on screen. There’s a reason why credits in movies are kept to the beginning and end of films, no?
Now that my little rant is over, I’m still looking forward to Anomalisa, because of the talent involved and the suggestion of ‘different.’ Do you feel similarly?
Jennifer Jason Leigh, David Thewlis and Tom Noonan star.
