在动画电影行业执迷于翻拍让观众有共鸣的老故事时，皮克斯却总能尝试新事物，把观众带到从未踏足的新领域。《寻梦环游记》由《玩具总动员3》导演李?昂克里奇执导，该片的视觉效果基于墨西哥的亡灵节。故事讲述了一个名叫米格尔的小男孩崇拜传奇吉他手欧内斯托?德?拉?克鲁兹，想学习如何能弹奏得和他一样好。于是他就像奥德赛一样踏上了改造性的自我发现之旅，进入死亡之地寻找那位已去世多年的偶像，还受到了一些关于创造力本质的教导。《寻梦环游记》是否能达到皮克斯2015年杰作《头脑特工队》的高度尚未可知，但这部电影绝对是一场视觉盛宴。该片将于11月15日在法国上映，11月22日在美国、克罗地亚和菲律宾上映，11月30日在以色列上映。（资料来源：迪士尼/皮克斯）

Few years in recent decades dawned with as much of a sense of pessimism as 2014. One consistent theme in the predictions for the year was that 2014 looked eerily similar to 1914. Most pundits predicted doom and gloom, especially in east Asia. Yet, while there were many horrific events — from thedowning of flight MH17 over Ukraine, to the abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls in Nigeria and the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant — we have avoided outright world war. Now that the year is closed, with no repetition of 1914, it may be wise to investigate why the pundits were wrong, particularly on their ideas around the potential for conflict in Asia.

'Short Term 12' is one of those small indie features that stays with you in a big way. It's only 96 minutes long, a modest production set in a foster-care facility for troubled teens. Yet Destin Cretton's direction and Brie Larson's performance elevate the film to, well, one of the year's very best. Ms. Larson is almost a sure thing for not getting an Oscar-this year's competition is unusually fierce-but do catch up with her portrayal of Grace, a 20-something supervisor who is far from untroubled in her own life.
