Disney – Pixar’s FINDING DORY on Blu-ray and DVD November 15th

“My friend, Sigourney, once said: rescue, rehabilitate, release!”

The FINDING DORY DVD and Blu-ray release date is set for November 15, 2016 while it has been available on Digital HD from Amazon Video and iTunes since October 25, 2016.

From the Academy Award(R)-winning creators of Disney-Pixar’s FINDING NEMO (Best Animated Feature, 2003) comes an epic undersea adventure filled with imagination, humor and heart. When Dory, the forgetful blue tang (Ellen DeGeneres), suddenly remembers she has a family who may be looking for her, she, Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolence) take off on a life-changing quest to find them… with help from Hank, a cantankerous octopus; Bailey, a beluga whale who’s convinced his biological sonar skills are on the fritz; and Destiny, a nearsighted whale shark! Bring home the movie overflowing with unforgettable characters, dazzling animation and delightful bonus extras!

Each combo pack will feature a lossless 7.1 soundtrack and supplements include: Theatrical Short: “Piper” – A hungry sandpiper hatchling ventures from her nest for the first time to dig for food by the shoreline. The only problem is that the food is buried beneath the sand where scary waves roll up onto the shore; Marine Life Interviews (All-New Mini Short) – Meet the inhabitants of the Marine Life Institute as they remember our favorite blue tang; The Octopus That Nearly Broke Pixar – Pixar’s “Team Hank” unravels the challenges, frustrations, and rewards of bringing to life the studio’s crankiest and most technically complicated character ever; What Were We Talking About? – This piece showcases the complex routes Dory’s story took as the filmmakers worked to construct a comprehensive narrative involving a main character with short-term memory loss; Casual Carpool – What’s it like to commute with the voices of Marlin, Charlie, Bailey and Hank? Join “Finding Dory” writer/director Andrew Stanton as he drives Albert Brooks, Eugene Levy, Ty Burrell and Ed O’Neill to work; Animation & Acting – How do you create a connection between a human audience and a fish? This behind-the-scenes look behind the curtain examines the process of constructing believable performances through a unique collaboration between the director, voice actors and animators; Creature Features – The cast of “Finding Dory” share cool facts about the creatures they voice in the film; Deep in the Kelp – Disney Channel’s Jenna Ortega guides us on a research trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to show how far the “Finding Dory” crew went to make Dory’s world feel real; Skating & Sketching with Jason Deamer – “Finding Dory” character art director Jason Deamer talks about how he got to Pixar, how he draws the characters in the film, and how falling off a skateboard teaches you lessons you can use in art and life; Dory’s Theme – A spirited discussion among the composer, music editor and director of “Finding Dory” about the musical elements that shape Dory’s quirky and joyful theme; Rough Day on the Reef – Sometimes computers make mistakes. Here you’ll see some of the funny, creepy and just plain bizarre footage the crew encountered while making “Finding Dory”; Audio Commentary – Director Andrew Stanton, co-director Angus MacLane and producer Lindsey Collins deliver their personal perspective on “Finding Dory”; and Deleted Scenes (introduced by director Andrew Stanton).

When the clown fish Marlin went on an adventure to save his son Nemo, he met a forgetful blue fish named Dory who wound up being a key component in finding Nemo. Dory became part of the family, but she was never really sure who her real family was. One day, Dory decides to go searching for her real family, but forgets to tell Marlin and Nemo. Marlin and Nemo eventually find Dory, but she explains that she has to go out into the ocean and find out who she really is. The three decide to go on the adventure together, and they run into a few old friends along the way.

FINDING DORY – Review

Thirteen years after Nemo found his dad, Dory is getting her day in the spotlight with the new DISNEY•PIXAR feature FINDING DORY. After all of this time, she just keeps swimming into our hearts!

We pick up back in the reef, where Dory is happily living with Nemo and his father, Marlin. Still, Dory yearns for something more. She starts to piece together a past, and knows something is missing. We soon find out that her past isn’t that different from Nemo’s. Due to her short term memory loss, she wandered away from her parents and couldn’t find her way home. Soon, she couldn’t remember what she was looking for. When she finally starts putting the pieces of the puzzle together, Marlin, Nemo and Dory set out on a mission to find her parents. Together, they brave the ocean, and meet some new friends along the way in their quest to find the missing pieces in Dory’s life.

I honestly didn’t think they could top 2003’s FINDING NEMO, and they certainly did. Even though the stories have a simile thread, FINDING DORY still feels new. Plus, we find out where Dory learns to speak whale! I know you’re just dying to find out!

The humor is outstanding, and the animation is absolutely stunning. They managed to use their updated technology to give an incredible look to the film, while still making it feel like the original. I think this is in part of Andrew Stanton, who co-wrote and directed the first film. He also co-wrote and directed FINDING DORY, so the original feel and nostalgia are not lost along the way. DISNEY•PIXAR continues to impress me on a regular basis. My only regret is that I would have loved our screening to be in 3-D, but that just means I need to go see it again.

As far as voice talent goes, Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill, Kaitlin Olson, Ty Burrell, Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton were all incredible. DeGeneres and Brooks return to voice their characters from FINDING NEMO, while the rest are newcomers, including Hayden Rolence who takes on the role of young Nemo. They did manage to throw in Alexander Gould, the original voice of Nemo, as Passenger Carl, which is fun. Seeing as how the film takes place only a few months after their return to the reef, there was no way for a grown Gould to voice young Nemo. It was nice to see that he was included in the sequel.

FINDING DORY is funny, smart, and heartwarming. Go see it as soon as you can! It’s in theaters NOW!

WAITING FOR GUFFMAN Screens in St. Louis Next Tuesday at THE MX INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL

“We consider ourselves bi-costal if you consider the Mississippi River one of the coasts!”

WAITING FOR GUFFMAN screens Tuesday, September 30^th at the MX Theater downtown (618 Washington Ave, St Louis, MO 63101) as part of THE MX INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL. Admission is FREE!

Never has small town theater been so hysterical. Christopher Guest’s mockumentary WAITING FOR GUFFMAN is one of the funniest movies ever made. Its smart humor and devoted cast all give the 1996 film what it needs to work. In the small town of Blaine Missouri (“The stool capital of the world”), temperamental, effeminate Corky St. Clair (Christopher Guest) is determined to get his play about the town’s history off the ground. Using all the (very) limited talent he has in the community, Corky puts on his production. Blaine’s dentist Dr. Allen Pearl (Eugene Levy), travel agents Rob and Sheila Albertson (Fred Willard and Catherine O’Hara – “Some people find it ironical that although we run a travel agency, we’ve never been outside of Blaine”), and Libby Mae Brown (Parker Posey), the local Dairy Queen employee, all team up to give Blaine it’s tribute to history which includes UFO’s and, of course, stools. While getting the show ready, they are informed of an important Broadway critic is going to come and review the show to see if it has any potential what so ever of making it ….to Broadway! This makes the cast excited, anxious, and just ready to give Blaine and the critic Mr. Guffman one hell of a performance. The dialogue between these characters is priceless (“….’cause you people are BASTARD PEOPLE!”). They unleash what could be some of the funniest scenes of cinema history such as when Corky tries to put “modern” dance into the play. What Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy have written is solid 24k gold (“Well, then, I just HATE you… and I hate your… ass… FACE!“). The characters are outlandish, eccentric and quirky and all played quite phenomenally. The writing is spot on and it’s just terrific.

St. Louis-area film fans will have the chance to see WAITING FOR GUFFMAN on the big screen when it plays Tuesday, September 30^th at the MX Theater downtown (618 Washington Ave, St Louis, MO 63101) as part of THE MX INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL. Admission is FREE!

AMERICAN REUNION – The Review

Before all the big Summer vacation escapes and adventures, some folks want to take time to remember the past and re-connect with old friends. The same is true for the characters in one of the last decade’s most influential comedies. Building on the return of the R rated sex comedy begun with the big box office of THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY in 1998, AMERICAN PIE exploded at the cineplexes in 2000. As SCREAM did with the slasher genre ( or as Siskel and Ebert referred to them, ” the dead teenager movie ” ), PIE brought back to life another genre from many years ago: the youth-oriented sex comedy ( or as S & E called them, ” the horny teenager movie ” ). In the years since the original, its theatrical sequels and a few direct to DVD flicks, the HANGOVER films and BRIDESMAIDS have shot to the top of the list of movie grossers ( in money and raunch ). So can the old PIE gang return in AMERICAN REUNION and show these cinema upstarts a thing or two ( I mean they’re ” gasp ” in their thirties now! ) ?

As with the original AMERICAN theatrical trilogy, Jim Levenstein ( Jason Biggs ) is the main focus of this installment. He’s working for a big Chicago company and has made a home with his ” band girl ” Michelle ( Alyson Hannigan ) and his adorable three-year old son. But it seems that the couple have lost that ‘ spark ‘. What could rekindle, or re-ignate said spark? How about a trip back to their home town for the big thirteenth high school reunion ( Hmm, thought most classes get together in five-year increments. Oh well )? They’ll stay with Jim’s dad ( Eugene Levy ), a widower of the past three years who may try to get back out in the dating scene, and meet up with the old gang. Kevin ( Thomas Ian Nicholas ) is a house-husband to a very successful woman. Finch ( Eddie Kaye Thomas ) arrives with tales of globe-trotting adventure. Oz ( Chris Klein ) has perhaps made the biggest splash as a TV sports talk show host. He’s living the LA high life in an opulent mansion with a hot blonde girlfriend ( Katrina Bowden ). Except for an embarrassing stint on a TV reality / talent competition , Oz seems to have it all. And then there’s Stiffler ( Sean William Scott ), still a wild man even in the corporate world. All’s going well with the big get-together prior to the main event, until the ladies from their pasts shake things up. With Kevin, it’s old high school sweetheart Vicky ( Tara Reid ) and Oz meets his former flame, ‘ choir girl’ Heather ( Mena Suvari ). Jim is stunned, not by a former girlfriend, but by his next door neighbor. Turns out the little girl who Jim babysat is now a very stunning 18-year-old woman who wants to celebrate her birthday by acting on that crush she had on her old sitter. What’s going to happen to all these relationships during this long wild weekend back home?

So, is this reunion worth attending? The script hits a few bumps ( The Jim and Michelle conflict is a bit tired ), but there are some big laughs ( although we can see the set-ups sometimes ) and the cast is very eager to please. In the last few years, many of them have fought their demons publicly , so here they’re given another chance to show us their comedic skills. Biggs is still a master of embarrassment and humiliation ( this time, the now chunkier actor is referred to as an Adam Sandler clone! ). Kudos for the addition of Dania Ramirez as Michelle’s old band geek buddy who’s now a smokin’ hot bartender ( a bit of ethnic diversity helps spice things up ). Most get their chance to shine, although several orignal classmates only have glorified walk-ons ( you could miss them if you go on a bathroom break ). John Cho does return as the guy who launched ‘ MILF ‘ into cinema lexicon. Speaking of that term, the cougar queen, Stifler’s Mom ( Jennifer Coolidge ) is back too and has some great scenes with her Christopher Guest team-mate Levy ( be sure and stick around for the end credits for a great bonus bit ). The most dependable laugh-getter of the bunch maybe Scott as the oddly endearing Stifler. By all rights this coarse, clueless oaf should be the villain, but somehow we feel bit protective of him ( to paraphrase one of his pals, ” Stifler may be a d**k, but he’s our d**k” ). The guy’s like an overly frisky puppy that goes right for your leg, Annoying, but still lovable. This may be in part because of the zeal the talented Mr. Scott infuses into every line reading ( look for him as a sweeter, but still dense guy in GOON ). The movie’s a tad too long at just under two hours, but you’ll have a good deal of fun spending time with the old crew. They’re not horny teenagers anymore, but as the Who classic ( and recent film ) states, the kids are all right
