He’s Indiana Jones. He’s Han Solo. He’s Richard Kimble. He’s, well, what else? Harrison Ford has had a long and illustrious (well, parts of it, anyway) career, yet he’s usually only associated with those three roles — two, really, if we’re talking about popularity level.

However, there are plenty of other unappreciated performances in Ford’s filmography that deserve more recognition. It’s not they’re ignored completely, just sadly overlooked.

Was ‘Cars 2′ Underrated?

Are you buying John Lasseter’s belated defense of ‘Cars 2′? The Pixar guru, who co-directed the June release, took to the pages of the New York Times on Monday to insist that the summer sequel — Pixar’s first movie to disappoint critics — wasn’t a crass grab at merchandising money.

H26389 260x195 CINEFANTASTIQUE PODCAST on HuffPost   Overlooked & Underrated: INK, GHOST WRITER, DR. PARNASSUS

It’s a genre light week, with no new horror, fantasy, or science fiction titles released in cinemas, so Dan Persons, Lawrence French, and Steve Biodrowski take this opportunity to shine a little much-deserved light on some overlooked and/or under-rated genre titles. The main topic of discussion is INK, the surprisingly good low-budget fantasy film about a girl kidnapped by a dream demon.
