The title character, a baby elephant who flies thanks to his oversized ears, is an extraordinary CGI creation. If Dumbo’s eyes are too large for a normal elephant, they are still profoundly expressive. Though DUMBO relies heavily on visual effects, its uncanny valley problems are […]Read On »

Even though the streets were closed from Highland to Orange, it basically was a small premiere with the stars of the film and a few guest…and of course fans. Lena Headey reprised her role, Queen Gorgo, from 300 (2006), but thinking back to the first film’s premiere missed seeing Gerard Butler walking the carpet (he was killed in the first movie). Seen walking the carpet were the stars of the film, which included: Eva Green, Lena Headey, Callan […]Read On »
