With Earth Day 2012 almost here, this year’s batch of nature documentaries is about to hit theaters and last year’s “Born to be Wild”, from IMAX, is out on Blu-ray/DVD. “Born to be Wild 3D” tells the true story of two women who have devoted their lives to taking care of baby orphans. One nurtures […]
I need to make it clear, right from the start, that I do not have “Bieber Fever”. But could I (and you) develop a case after seeing the pop mega-superstar’s new movie? Well, as the title says, “Never Say Never”. The film chronicles Bieber’s life, from the time he was a “Baby, Baby, Baby” – […]
Most animated movies these days are either sequels, remakes or they have plots very similar to other films. It’s very rare to find a clever, inventive, and surprising animated film. “Gnomeo & Juliet” has all of those qualities, and more. It’s Shakespeare’s classic “Romeo and Juliet” with garden gnomes. Two people live in adjoining houses […]
The original “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” (2008) made nearly $150 million worldwide. I was a bit disappointed by that Disney dog comedy. However, the new Direct-to-DVD sequel has a little more bite. Two of the stars from the original – Jamie Lee Curtis and Drew Barrymore, are not back for this follow-up, but comedian/talk show host […]
“Hubble 3D” was only out in a limited number of IMAX theaters last summer and only for a limited time. Hopefully you go to see it on the big screen. The film centers around the May 2009 trip by 7 astronauts into space to fix the Hubble Space Telescope. The movie also tells the history of Hubble. […]

What makes “Ramona and Beezus” different is that it doesn’t involve wizards or talking animals or wimpy kids. Just a little girl with a lot of spirit. “Ramona and Beezus” in mainly taken from two on Beverly […]
The most popular and successful animated movie of all-time will soon become one of the most popular and successful DVD’s of all-time. 15 years ago the first computer animated film was released. It was called “Toy Story.” Since then it seems like there have been hundreds of films and thousands of characters, but there’s one […]
Last year Disneynature came out with it’s first Earth Day release, “Earth”. This year (as Sebastian from “The Little Mermaid” would say), the studio goes “Under the sea” with “Oceans.” The documentary takes moviegoers all around the world, to our planet’s five oceans, to explore the creatures the live deep in the water and on […]
If you saw it in the theater you already know what I’m about to tell you: “The Princess and the Frog” isn’t in the same class as the great Disney Princess films. In fact, the princess isn’t even a princess until the final 30 seconds of the movie! Tiana is a young woman who’s always […]
Disney showed this second of it’s Tinker Bell direct-to-DVD series in a theater in L.A. for a week to make it elidgible for an Academy Award nomination. The studio knows it won’t get one, but be helping to make sure that there are at least 15 movies up for consideration, the studio will help get […]
