Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)
Handed over to a new team of filmmakers, the sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) fares a bit better than its predecessor. Based loosely on the 1978 children's book by Judi and Ron Barrett, the earlier film felt too forced, with character development uncomfortably shoved into plot developments like a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 -- which was at some point subtitled "Revenge of the Leftovers" -- uses memories of the already-established characters and spends more time on its simple theme: man and nature living in harmony. read more...

The Muppets (2011)
The Muppets have always been post-modern. On TV, "The Muppet Show" (1976-1981), was always as much about behind-the-scenes as it was about the stuff on stage. The brilliant The Muppet Movie (1979) skewed the road movie and the showbiz drama with constant self references, and even began and ended in a Hollywood screening room (with a stop in the middle when the film "breaks"). Now, some 35 years after the show began, writer/actor Jason Segel, writer Nicholas Stoller, and director James Bobin (of the great TV show "Flight of the Conchords"), revamp the Muppets for 2011, but remain true to that spirit of self-awareness. read more...

The Muppet Movie (1979)
Long before the cynical 1990s, before Meet the Feebles and "Greg the Bunny," came this post-modern puppet tale. The filmmakers took the familiar characters from the 1976-1981 television show, Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, etc., and tell their "origin" story, following them from their humble beginnings to the gates of Hollywood. read more...
