Just as Disney/Pixar’s “Up,” tops the box office in its debut weekend, Pixar is releasing the teaser trailer for next year’s summer movie- “Toy Story 3.” Oh yeah, and it’s in 3D. There’s not a ton of info or details in the story of the sequel, but if it’s as good as part 2, I’d …
Will Farrell is now promoting the upcoming “Land of the Lost.” However, he said that the question he’s asked the most is if there will be an “Anchorman 2.” Speaking with an Australian moring radio show, Farrell said that the team is getting together next week to discuss the possibilities of the continuing adventures of …
You ever have one of those nights where you just don’t want something too deep? Maybe you want to have a nice dinner, enjoy a glass (or a bottle of wine) and watch something that, while it doesn’t make you laugh out loud over and over and over, by the end you’re smiling. If that …

Editor’s note: The Unseen is a somewhat regular column, looking at movies that are out of print, never released on DVD and otherwise hard to find. I think I have underestimated the work of Michael Ritchie. Sure, I enjoyed his later work, (especially “Fletch,” and the original “Bad News Bears,”) but I always thought of …

If you’re like me, anything Terrence Malick does is worth seeing. (I once worked on a movie with some of the accountants from “The New World,” and I continually bothered them about stories and facts about him.)
