Pixar uses emotion-capture technology to get inside the
heads of their target market and the result is stimulating and
sensational. Brilliant visual renditions
of mental machinations provide a perfect playground in which to run whimsically
wild. Perhaps weak on the story front,
but still a great tool for teaching feeling.

The Blues Brothers
Far too long but appropriately iconic. SNL brothers on mission from God flee Nazis, Cowboys and Princess Leia in this oddball epic. Contains two feature length car-wreck scenes, not to mention musical numbers from an army of Jazz cameos such as James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Steven Spielberg.

Death at a Funeral (2007)
Yoda directs cheesy but fun Brit comedy, that revels in its quirky discomfort. Tudyk steals the show, with most outlandish role to date, but Dinklage doesn’t come up short in his most serious foray. Supporting cast perform admirably if not memorably. Neither good enough nor bad enough to warrant remake.
Actors & Director:
Alan Tudyk,
Ewen Bremner,
Frank Oz,
Peter Dinklage,
Rupert Graves
