John Carter

Last year I went to Barsoom. What happened there will be detailed nearer to John Carter's March 2012 release date. For now, we have these two posters as well as a host of photos from director Andrew Stanton's forthcoming adaptation. And tomorrow we've been promised a second trailer. As someone who grew up reading Burroughs' books, Stanton's film can't come soon enough.

Brave trailer

The highlight of my recent trip to San Francisco was a visit to Pixar. It's a dream factory in more ways than one. What comes out of it and how they treat those who work there. Brave is the 13th Pixar feature. It looks as amazing as the dozen that came before. And yes, I'm including Cars and Cars 2 on that list because while the critics didn't like them too much, ask any young boy to list their favourite Pixar and they'll invariably included Cars and its sequel on that list.
