Toy Story 3 opens Friday and the buzz (Lightyear) about it is phenomenal. It's a film about plastic toys and yet, as Claudia Puig wrote in USA Today "any sentient being will surely shed (tears) by the film's heartfelt conclusion." By most accounts it is the best of the Toy Story franchise and one of the best films of the summer so far. How Pixar continues to create animated films with such emotional depth is extraordinary. We'll talk about this gem on The Filmosophers.

Also opening Friday, Jonah Hex, the post-civil war western from DC Comics. From a filmosophical point of view it's the yin to T.S. 3's yang. We were hoping Jonah Hex would be fun, but the consensus on RottenTomatoes.com is "Josh Brolin gives it his best shot, but he can't keep the short, unfocused Jonah Hex from collapsing on the screen."

We'll have reviews of the white-knuckle adventure North Face and the thought-provoking doomsday doc Collapse.

Also, school is out so young Shane (11) will be in the house to share his fresh vision of the movies. One thing we'll ask him- which did he like better, The Losers or A-Team?

Email your movie question to bruce.miller@kruufm.com. We'll select one to answer on the show; if it's your question you'll win a pair of passes to the local movie theater.

On The Filmosophers movie talk show, Chris Busch and Bruce Miller share their filmosophy of the movies and have filmosophical discussions. Every Friday afternoon at 12:30. Live stream @kruufm.com
