Toy Story There is greatness in a film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--you smile at the spell it puts you into and are refreshed, and not a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic" and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys on the cover of Toy Story looks intriguing as it reawakens the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter's shorts illustrate not only a technical brilliance but also a great sense of humour--one in which the pun is always intended. Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney. Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favourite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful, Toy Story is much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar "For the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film". In other words, this movie is great. --Doug Thomas Toy Story 2 John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages. Like the handful of other great movie sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular 60s children's show. When a greedy collector takes Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) launches a rescue mission with Andy's other toys. To say more would be a crime because this is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since, well, Toy Story. Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior, and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling. And it's a hoot for kids and adults. The film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living for forever. Toy Story 2 was deservedly a huge box-office success. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

Based on the best selling novel by Joyce Carol Oates this provocative miniseries delivers a seductive portrait of the captivating star that became America's most enduring sex symbol. The stunning saga of Marilyn Monroe's life begins with her traumatic upbringing as Norma Jean: the damage inflicted by a psychotic mother the absence of any father the devastation of four years in an orphanage and betrayal in a foster home. On the young Monroe's rocky road to stardom she performs sexual favour for studio chiefs who underestimate her talent and intelligence while reaping millions from her movies. Her vulnerability is often camouflaged by volatile behaviour. At times self-absorbed and frightened Monroe could also be tough outspoken and vulgar. Her notorious perfectionism is her shield against the ridicule and failure she continually fears. Monroe's stormy marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller reveal her insatiable need for security and love. She is doomed by an unimaginable combination of Hollywood exploitation dependence on drugs and flawed choices of lovers and mates. JFK's cruel manipulation and shadowy intervention is the final blow to her fragile existence. Blonde draws a sharp-eyed picture of the movie business during the 1940s and 50s and conveys a nation's fascination with a legendary cultural icon. Starring Poppy Montgomery (Without A Trace Law & Order) as Norma Jean with Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy Transformers 3 Enchanted) Griffin Dunne (Law & Order Frasier) Patricia Richardson (The West Wing Home Improvement) and Kirstie Alley (Cheers Look Who's Talking).
