Actor Leonard Nimoy Dies at 83!
Beloved actor, Leonard Nimoy, has passed away at the age of 83. Mr. Nimoy (1931-2015) was best known for his portrayal of Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise.
But, he has played many other roles besides including a few voice roles! These include the Atlantean king in Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire,
Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon,
and Sekhuru in Zambezia.
He shall be missed!
My Thoughts: BIG HERO 6 (2014)

Too bad. Here’s my review!
Disney Wins Animation Awards at 87th Academy Awards!
Well, the 87th Academy Awards were yesterday and you can check the list of winners here. In terms of animation, Disney won the Best Animated Short and Best Animated Film Oscars for Feast and Big Hero 6, respectively.
I congratulate Disney on this, although I was sure that How to Train Your Dragon 2 was going to win. In the end, I only correctly predicted 12 Oscars this year and couldn’t beat my high score last year of 14. Oh well, there’s always next year, God-willing!

Pixar’s 8th feature film is one hailed by many as a perfect film, not just one of their favorite animated films, but a film that deserved a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards.

‘Strange Magic’ Flops, No Magic Needed!
So,that secret project from Lucasfilm that nobody knew about until like a month ago, Strange Magic, to nobody’s surprise, flopped at the weekend box office. The film opened up in 7th place grossing a mere $5.5 million, the WORST opening for an animated film that was shown in over 3000 locations! It’s a good thing Disney decided to release this through their Touchstone Pictures division.
Have you seen it? What did you think? If you haven’t seen it, will you?

A Personal Film Festival Tag
My friend, smilingldsgirl, started a thing called A Personal Film Festival wherein she did her own “film festival” and listed her favorite movie of every year that she’s been alive. I liked the idea so much that I decided to do it too and make it into a tag. So, after showing my picks, I’m gonna tag 3 of you and you all havta do this tag too! Basically, just go through each year of your existence and list your favorite film. If you want, you can list Honorable Mentions as well.
Sounds fun? Great! So, here are the results of my Personal Film Festival:
