Though they continue to be one of the most celebrated animation studios for a wide range of projects, the Toy Story franchise remains one of Pixar's most iconic, and Toy Story 2 is a prime reason why. The 1999 sequel served as the studio's third feature-length project after making their debut with the 1995 original, which was nominated for three Oscars, and 1998's A Bug's Life, one of Pixar's more underrated efforts. It also wouldn't be the end of the franchise, either, as two more sequels have been released and a Toy Story 5 is currently in production.

The sequel to Pixar's critically-acclaimed Toy Story, Toy Story 2 picks up the story of Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen) when the cowboy doll is stolen by a toy collector. Learning that he's actually a rare collectible, Woody considers joining the collection along with cowgirl Jessie (Joan Cusack) and Stinky Pete...

Monster movies are tough because there’s a desire to go full bore into cat and mouse chaos or metaphorical symbolism. Things get muddled when both are attempted at once without the correct balance. I’m not saying picking one or the other always spells success — writer/director Bryan Bertino‘s debut The Strangers ultimately failed at mysterious chaos despite some effective scares — but it does often allow a filmmaker the opportunity to focus and reinforce his/her idea with less chance of getting distracted. Bertino’s third film The Monster, however, suffers the same fate within the other camp. This one utilizes metaphor and flashback to depict a volatile mother/daughter relationship wherein the “monster” proves an embodiment of their worst selves. Unfortunately, this idea is never dug into further than its surface conceit.

I’m not kidding when I say volatile either. At times the hatred Kathy (Zoe Kazan...

"Dogs don't got teeth like this." A24 has finally unveiled a trailer for the horror thriller The Monster, the latest feature from Bryan Bertino, the director behind the 2008 hit The Strangers. The Monster is indeed about a creepy monster, despite the tendency for movies like this to trick you into thinking "the monster" is just some deranged human living in the woods. Zoe Kazan and Ella Ballentine play mother-daughter in the film. When their car breaks down in the middle of the woods, things get increasingly creepy. The cast includes Scott Speedman, Aaron Douglas, Christine Ebadi and Chris Webb as the "monster". This seems like a very quiet release, with the film being dumped without much buzz, but who knows. Take a look. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Bryan Bertino's The Monster, direct from A24's YouTube: A divorced mother (Zoe Kazan) and her headstrong daughter must make...

A divorced mother (Zoe Kazan) and her headstrong daughter must make an emergency late night road trip to see the girl's father. As they drive through deserted country roads on a stormy night, they suddenly have a startling collision that leaves them shaken - but not seriously hurt. Their car, however, is dead. As they try in vain to get help, they come to realize they are not alone on these desolate backroads - a terrifying evil is lurking in the surrounding woods, intent on never letting them leave.
