“The Toy Story franchise isn’t for children and adults, it’s for non-thinking children and adults.” - Armond White on Toy Story 3
I am fascinated with Armond White, the New York-based film critic. He’s infamously known as the ‘contrarian’ critic, lambasting such acclaimed films as The Dark Knight, Inception, and Toy Story 3 (which, if I’m correct, his...

Noah and Sam leave their solitude in the mountains to begin a journey that will take them across the...
