The works of Jorge Luis Borges, the wonders of Japanese court poetry, the inadequacy of <em>The Yellow Submarine</em> – having found a sympathetic spirit, Gorey let loose a torrent of opinions about anything in his path.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/20026/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Trailer Watch: Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Hugo</title><link>http://calitreview.com/18531</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/18531#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:25:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Dan Fields</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Books]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Children's Literature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Literary Themes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Science Fiction and Fantasy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Fourth Wall]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Writers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[adaptation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ben kingsley]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chloë Grace Moretz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[films fantasy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Harry Potter]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hugo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hugo Cabret]]></category> <category><![CDATA[literary adaptation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Martin Scorsese]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movie trailer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sacha baron cohen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Invention Of Hugo Cabret]]></category> <category><![CDATA[trailer]]></category> <guid

Admittedly, he does this very well, but the notoriety of movies like Taxi Driver, Casino, and most recently The Departed tends to eclipse the true diversity and scope of his body of work. Even when his choice of material seems misguided, [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/18531/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Weekly Listicle: No, We CAN&#8217;T Feel The Love Tonight!</title><link>http://calitreview.com/14049</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/14049#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:46:10 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Dan Fields</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Best Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Children's Literature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Humor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Television]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Fourth Wall]]></category> <category><![CDATA[animated musicals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dr. seuss]]></category> <category><![CDATA[elton john]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gnomeo and juliet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mary poppins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movie songs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies animation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies children]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies children's]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies family]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies musical]]></category> <category><![CDATA[the muppets]]></category> <guid

It's not meant strictly to pick on Elton John, but he seems an appropriate figurehead for the rather bland trends in children's movie music today. This is not your typical twentysomething anti-Disney rant. It is a cry of nostalgic woe, and includes a number of selections from pre-downhill-slide Disney. Please enjoy, and remember some songs you might like to track down and show your own kids.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/14049/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>7</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Wonderful World of Maira Kalman</title><link>http://calitreview.com/8036</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/8036#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 29 Mar 2010 22:32:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Alix McKenna</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[After Image]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Children's Literature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Design]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ICA Philadelphia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Maira Kalman]]></category> <guid

The ICA should also be lauded for the tremendous variety of subjects and media that it tackles. In past years, the small museum has explored video art, experimental [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/8036/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Matchless  by Gregory Maguire</title><link>http://calitreview.com/5765</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/5765#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:28:37 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Katie Cappello</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Children's Literature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fairy Tales]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gregory Maguire]]></category> <guid

Some pages contain only a sentence or two, and Maguire has included his own “illuminations” or sketches, to illustrate the story.  There’s a lovely energy to Maguire’s drawings which complements the action of the story, and he plays with light and shadow in the same way visually as he does textually.  These two formatting choices make the book ideal for children, something which is not true for his other re-imaginings.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/5765/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Friendship is the First Step to Peace: A Review of Picture Books that Highlight Our Getting Along</title><link>http://calitreview.com/239</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/239#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2007 16:34:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Sarah Werthan Buttenwieser</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Children's Literature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Non-Fiction Reviews]]></category> <guid

Ezra Jack Keats’ whimsical <em>Regards To The Man In The Moon</em> chronicles Louie’s having to tell his new stepfather, Barney, that he’s being teased because Barney is a junk man. Barney responds by equipping Louie for a trip to the moon and Louie benefits from Susie’s stepping forward and volunteering to accompany him to the moon.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/239/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Once Upon A Time</title><link>http://calitreview.com/220</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/220#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 13 Jun 2007 14:21:43 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jascha Kessler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Children's Literature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Linguistics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Non-Fiction Reviews]]></category> <guid
