Raven-Symoné has had a rough go of it, as of late. The former child star (The Cosby Show! Hangin' With Mr. Cooper!), former young-adult star (That's So Raven! The Cheetah Girls!), and former innocuous cultural also-ran (Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue? Revenge of the Bridesmaids?) joined the permanent cast of The View in June and ... well, let's just say the past few months have not been so Raven. She keeps putting her foot in her mouth with controversial political and personal statements, and we can't help but wonder: How would young Raven, so innocent and wide-eyed, feel about the life she would someday make? (And stay tuned for the chilling twist ending.) Check out new Vulture Remixes on Mondays, and watch our past hits, like the one where Batman and Superman fight in 1949 and the one where Miss Piggy sings Rihanna!

The Planes Blu-Ray has a release date, and you obviously want to get this one on your calendar, both because you know you want it, and because it’s smack dab in holiday buying season.
You may recall that during our Podcast review that covered Planes, I wasn’t all that favorable of it, but that was mostly because I was holding it to Pixar standards. I didn’t exactly dislike it, but you expect so much at this point that I hoped for more. Of course, the kids wanted nothing to do with my snooty, movie critic take on things, and loved it.
You might also recall that I wondered what direction they would take on the bonus features when this one came out, and it looks as though they are going a bit minimalist. A bad move, if you ask me, but it still looks like we have...

So, thanks to our friends over at IMPAwards, we have three new posters up for Disney's Planes and, they're well...just there. That's as close as I can get to the emotions these images stir up. The film, which is "from above the world of cars," could however turn out to be a blast, I'm just not convinced as the whole affair seems lackluster for the most part. Planes opens August 9th under the direction of Klay Hall (Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, Father of the Pride, King of the Hill), with a script by Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue writer Jeffrey M. Howard.

Alice In Wonderland (Blu-Ray)Walt Disney Home Entertainment2010/Rated PG/109 minsList Price $44.99 – Available NowI can't help but wonder if Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was a runaway success because of Burton and Johnny Depp's star power, the fact that it was an adaptation of one of the most beloved books of all time or because it was riding the 3D coattails of James Cameron's Avatar. All three certainly played a factor, but the post 3D conversion of the film no doubt brought in some extra dollars due to inflated ticket prices. What many audiences didn't initially realize is that Burton's Alice isn't the Alice we all know and love, but an unofficial sequel that attempts to build the story around Depp's interpretation of the Mad Hatter which becomes a central character. Depp and Burton have worked together so frequently over the last twenty years that their collaborations...

We know you were losing sleep over it, so we're happy to be the first to tell you that Furry Vengeance and Yogi Bear are both eligible to be nominated for Best Screenplay Oscars on January 25. Also that Marmaduke score that has been wearing out your iPod? It's eligible too. However, the inclusion of these 2010 masterpieces really isn't that big a surprise.

The AMPAS have named 241 scripts eligible for the Academy Awards — 134 original, 107 adapted. Unlike the WGA, Winter’s Bone, King’s Speech, Toy Story 3, Never Let Me Go, and How to Train Your Dragon will be considered.
The AMPAS have also released the list of nominees for best score. The list was narrowed down to 77 scores, which makes Best Original Score the 2011 Oscar the category with the least number of films under consideration. The scores for Black Swan, True Grit, The Kids Are Alright and The Fighter will not be eligible to compete this year. Clint Mansell‘s Black Swan score and Carter Burwell‘s True Grit score were disqualified attributed to a designation within Rule 16 of the Academy’s Special Rules for Music Awards (5d under “Eligibility”), which excludes “scores diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music.” Meanwhile, the scores for The Kids Are All Right,...

Hollywoodnews.com: It’s a tough year to be an animated feature with Oscar aspirations.
Because only 15 films were submitted for consideration this year, there will be three nominations in the Animated Feature category as opposed to the five that were available last year. This isn’t unusual. In the nine-year history of the animation category, there were only two instances where the category had five nominees.
What’s unusual, however, is the quality of the 15 animated films in contention, all but guaranteeing that one or two truly fantastic animated films will be left in the lurch come nomination morning.
The qualifying films are:
“Alpha and Omega”
“Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore”
“Despicable Me”
“The Dreams of Jinsha”
“How to Train Your Dragon”
“Idiots and Angels”
“The Illusionist”

Well, it looks like any hope for five animated films being nominated for the Animated Feature Film Oscar at the 83rd Academy Awards is out of the question as the Academy released the list of films submitted for consideration this year.

Photo: Walt Disney Pictures This weekend sees the release of DreamWorks's Megamind and just before Thanksgiving on November 24 Disney will debut Tangled. With these two releases the Oscar race for Best Animated Feature film will be in full swing with only Sony Classics's The Illusionist as the last major contender left to enter the fray, and by that time it's going to be a wild race to the top.
This is a great year for animated films and this is a race that could be more political (at least political in terms of Oscar and industry "political") than we've seen in quite some time. Let's take a closer look.
We'll begin with DreamWorks and Paramount's How to Train Your Dragon, which was released on March 26, and let's be honest, this wasn't what we typically expect from a DreamWorks Animation picture. This wasn't along the lines of the pop-culture obsessed Shrek...

Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter
Photo: Paramount Pictures Room for much Oscar talk has been few and far between this year leading up to this point, but finally there seems to be a little bit more to discuss beginning with Steve Pond's account of the National Association of Theater Owners' ShowEast conference in Orlando, Florida. He is careful to note the films at ShowEast are "judged for their box-office potential rather than their awards-worthiness," but there is still some chatter to be heard and see what we can take from it.
First off, the film that seemed to make the biggest splash was Paramount's The Fighter and it's worthy of discussion since this is the first time anyone outside of Paramount had seen it. Pond's report describes the film as "a likely Best Picture nominee, with a pair of performances that will definitely figure into the Supporting Actor and Actress races.

20th Century Fox, the same studio who brought you Marmaduke, is developing another live-action family film based on a single panel cartoon: The Family Circus.
According to Deadline, Fox teamed with Walden Media to acquire the rights to Bill Keane’s 50-year-old comic strip. The syndicated comic follows the family hijinks of the un-aging Bill, his wife Thelma, and their four children. That Jeffy is incorrigible!
They’ve hired screenwriters Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir, whose big career moment thus far was penning the direct-to-video classic Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue… with four other writers. That shows you how much effort, and budget, they’re allocating for this, though they’ll have already spent seven figures just in the acquisition deal.
Marmaduke made an inexplicable $80.2 million worldwide from a negative $50 million production cost. Where did all the money go? It was a talking dog movie. Did Owen Wilson...

Back when a live action Marmaduke movie was first announced last year, I can recall a lot of people joking about other comic strips that would make for even more ridiculous film adaptations. One of the titles that had to be at the top of the list was Bil Keane's The Family Circus, the notoriously unfunny single panel comic that most people would agree very rarely has an actual punchline. Supposedly, it has become the most widely syndicated comic strip in the world... go figure. As you might expect, Hollywood has been knocking at Bil Keane's door for years, trying to get the rights to make a Family Circus movie, but finally producer John Baldecchi (Deep Rising, The Mexican, Ultraviolet) managed to get a hold of him and negotiate a deal. Yep, that's right... Billy, Dolly and the rest of the family are all coming to the big screen.

As someone who falls outside of the target demographic for this title, I took it upon myself to ask my six-year-old daughter if she would like to help with this review. She's a big fan of all things princess and Tinker Bell, and it's been with baited breath that she's awaited another of these releases, having watched the first two. But will her interest wain in Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue? After all, the last one Disney released, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, seemed to be better received than the first.
For myself, I was hoping for less fairy dust and more action.
If you're not a parent of a little girl then you're likely not aware that Disney is making five CG-animated 'toons starring Peter Pan's favorite fairy. Seeing the tremendous financial success of its Disney Princess line, the company created Disney Fairies in the hopes...

You didn't think Marmaduke would get all the glory, did you? That's right: the most widely syndicated cartoon panel in the world is about to make its live-action big screen debut. Moreover, it's being envisioned as a franchise. 20th Century Fox and Walden Media got the rights to Bil Keane's comic, which was introduced in the '60s and has since been released in compilations that have sold over thirteen million copies worldwide. Deadline says Fox and Walden competed for the rights with several other studios, but beat them out with a seven figure deal against their six figures. Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir, co-writers on Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, have been hired to write the screenplay. Producing the film are John Baldecchi (Ultraviolet, Cutthroat Island) and Stacy Maes (Jumper). There isn't much to the comic, either in terms of character or story, which means this...

Back when Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure came out, I was impressed with the overall effort and quality of the Disney direct-to-video title. Largely besmirched and ignored in a “by definition” sense (and with good reason), Disney finally made a serious run at proving that they could offer solid entertainment through the medium, and that quality on every front didn’t have to be several pegs shy of feature films.
Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue takes things further even than that, and delivers true theatrical quality in a home release.
When Tinker Bell stumbles onto a brilliant, young girl named Lizzie, and is semi-accidentally imprisoned (or at least unable to leave), her friends have to brave the human world to rescue her. Lizzie, fascinated with fairies already, hopes to befriend Tink, but when Lizzie’s science-minded father enters the picture, things become complicated in a hurry.

The Girl Who Played With Fire (Music Box Films) Follow up to the hit The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo finds Lisabeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) and Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) joining forces once again as Blomkvist is about to break a story on Sweden’s sex trade, which leads unexpectedly to a dark secret from Elizabeth’s past. Starts off well, then quickly nose-dives into sensationalism and downright silliness, with a pair of villains who are straight out of a Roger Moore-era James Bond film. A real letdown for those of us who felt Dragon Tattoo had finally breathed life into the cinema’s long-stagnant genre of the thriller. Bonuses: English language track; Trailer. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.
The Killer Inside Me (IFC Films) Michael Winterbottom’s adaptation of Jim Thompson’s classic, and notorious, novel about the psychotic mind of a small town sheriff (Casey Affleck,...

To get even one show to premiere in any given season that proves an instant favorite is a sad rarity. That there were two shows last season which swept me away is unprecedented, and should be seen as a sign of something. What, I have no idea. One of those shows is Community (Sony, Not Rated, DVD-$39.95 Srp), which has introduced a level of meta-surrealism and...
