Pixar’s Up by James Roland I love Pixar. They’ve never made a bad film, never made a mediocre film. Even their weakest, Cars and A Bug’s Life, are solid and entertaining films. So I was nervous when I heard the premise to Up: a 78-year-old man floats his house to South America using party balloons. […]

Disney’s Bolt by James Roland The expectations are high; it’s been two years since John Lasseter (mastermind of Pixar) took over Disney animation, and we’re only just now beginning to see the films he’s guided through that department.

I found a great Jazz singer and a YouTube comedian, then remembered a troupe of young filmmakers I’d found a while back and suddenly I […]

The Luke Andrews Accident by James Roland I’ve missed out on most of Rock n’ Roll history. While Eddie Vedder was penning his lyrics for some musicians in Seattle and Kurt Cobain was strumming his way into infamy while forever changing the course of baggy pants, I was tucked away in another part of Washington […]

Jersey Rejection by James Roland I got my first rejection letter. It was from The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. It was from the assistant editor. It was short and bitter, containing the phrase “the tale didn’t grab my interest, I’m afraid.” I don’t really mind the rejection; I’m the guy who wrote creepy […]
