DISCLAIMER – MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS : I finish my Oscar Best Picture binge with Bridge of Spies.  Mark Rylance, my top candidate for Best Supporting Actor, really stole the spotlight (see what I did there?).  I would like to give best picture to Bridge of Spies because of the messages that the movie had. With a cast filled with white male leads one would not peg it as a movie that highlights how ignorance effects our nation but it is by far the most empathetic movie nominated.  You have a Soviet spy who is caught and is hated by the entire United States and rightfully so when most American's are told that he's gaining…

We start off the film knowing two different timelines of P.L. Travers life. One as a little girl and her relationship with her loving father and the other of course during the…

Our story is set in San Francisco; which is where Pixar started.  Many stories that are "created" by writers are through personal experiences, and I don't think Inside Out is any different.  In the documentary The Pixar Story, John Lasseter mentions, when working on Toy Story, that his absence at home was tough on his family.  I can't help but think that Riley's experiences correlate with the family…
