Studio Ghibli is synonymous with anime. Mention a well known anime film and Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are most likely behind it. The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness is a documentary about a year behind the scenes at the studio that coincidentally happened to coincide with the production of Miyazaki’s final film, The Wind Rises.

7 years ago my wife and I spent a great New Year’s Eve night in watching movies.

We love our movies. Because we have younger children it’s rarer for them to get to the theaters and actually see good movies. Granted, they’ll go to the movie theater maybe a dozen times a year, but rare is the instance where we enjoy the movie as much as they do. Big Hero 6 is the best movie that fits that category that we’ve seen this year. Here’s a video reaction from our somewhat camera shy son about Big Hero 6.

With a happy grin when I checked out the ‘Recently Added’ movies on Netflix to see that Galaxy Quest was put up.

If you haven’t seen Galaxy Quest here are 5 simple reasons why it’s one of the best comedies or science fiction movies on Netflix now.

Nocturna is a Spanish language film that was released in 2007. It garnered a following and they demanded that it be released in English. Imagine if Guillermo del Torro made a children’s animated movie that had enough creative creepy creatures to slightly scary, but were charming once you got to know them? That is what I kept thinking while watching Nocturna. It’s such a sweet film that is so good at creating an alternate world within plain sight that you care about and are interested in the freaky animated characters.
