ParaNorman in "Eye-Popping 3D"?


Having worked with Tim Burton in 'The Corpse Bride' and being storyboard supervisor for 'Coraline', Chris Butler is now the proud father of 'ParaNorman'.

Quite a bold move for the first time director, and that too for only the second ever stop-motion film to be made in 3D after Coraline. So.. does ParaNorman make our eyes pop? Read on to find out. Full scream ahead!

Step Up Revolution in revolutionary 3D?


'Step Up Revolution' is the fourth addition to the Step Up franchise. Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1? I think I am B2. How the hell are they coming up with more of these movies?? Yet another poppin' and lockin', break dancing movie, with a reused and re-abused plot. But wait, there's more! It's in 3D! This is the second Step Up movie featured in 3D after 'Step Up 3D'. Surprisingly, the 3D element of this movie was underplayed in its advertisements. Was there any reason for that? You might want to read on..

Katy Perry: Part of Me in 3D.. literally!


the 3d guru
Watching 'Katy Perry: Part of Me' would have never crossed my mind if not for its feature in 3D. I didn't know half the songs by her. I didn't even recognize what she looked like. All that has changed now that I have watched her movie. As The 3D Guru, all of that shouldn't, and didn't, matter to me. My focus was on the 3D worth of this movie. At the same time, it is hard to ignore the content of the movie. So now, I can consciously avoid Katy Perry and her music.. Just kidding! Let's see how the 3D fared in this movie.

Did fortune favour Brave in 3D?


the 3d guru
Disney and Pixar venture into a 'Brave' new world that deviates from the familiarity of previous movies like Toy Story or Up. Set in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. An archery-loving princess at the forefront. Four armies of warriors boasting an inventory of axes, spears, and swords. Need I go on? I was sold to the 3D potential of this movie, if not the story. Hats off to Disney’s advertising bravado and good luck to Pixar's first princess movie. Fast forward to release day, does Brave live up to its 3D potential?
