Abigail Breslin stars in this first American Girls film that made it to theaters – “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl.” And now it’s out on DVD. The movie is set in Cincinnati in the 1930’s, during the Depression. Breslin plays Kit, a 10 year old girl who wants to be a newspaper reporter. Her father […]
“WALL-E”, 2009’s film from the amazing folks at Disney/Pixar, is a lot more serious than their usual movies and, for me, a bit of a disappointment. WALL-E is a robot who’s been left behind on Earth to clean-up after all the humans leave to live in outer space. His name stands for Waste Allocation Load […]
Dr. Seuss has entertained kids and adults for generations. This summer 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios teamed-up to bring one of his classics – “Horton Hears a Who!” to the big screen and it’s now out on DVD. Jim Carrey plays Horton, who lives in the jungle of Newl with all of his […]
Last year Disney’s family comedy “The Game Plan” was predictable and not very funny. And Disney does it again in 2008 with “College Road Trip”, which is one of the worst films of the year so far. Martin Lawrence stars as a police officer whose daughter wants to go to a college that’s far away […]
Ahoy Mates! No, it’s not yet another “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie. Instead, set sail for my review of “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything: A Veggie Tales Movie.” The film comes from the people behind the Veggie Tales videos and 2001’s “Jonah: A Veggie Tales Movie.” But this story does not come from the […]
It came out late in the year, but “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporiumum’s ” was still able to get onto my list of Worst Films of 2007. Dustin Hoffman stars as the wacky (and old) owner of a toy store who has decided it’s time to give-up running the store and hand it over to his […]
“Ratatouille” is Disney/Pixar’s latest animated adventure and it’s one of their best. The movie is about a rat named Remy who wants to become a chef, and a kitchen-boy named Linguini who becomes a chef, even though he can’t cook. They team-up to and quickly become the greatest chef in Paris. However, the current top […]
“Meet the Robinsons” is a Disney movie without Pixar. Sometimes that’s not a good thing. This is one of those times. The movie is about a boy named Louis who’s an orphan. Louis is an inventor and he builds a machine he hopes will help him remember what his mother looked like so that he […]
This 2006 “Charlotte’s Web” is the latest movie version of the classic children’s book by E.B. White. In the story (which most everyone knows by now), A girl named Fern (played by Dalota Fanning) adopts a baby pig, names him Wilbur, and brings him to her Uncle Homer’s barn to live. At his new home […]
Disney waited a long time to release “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause” on DVD. Unfortunately, the movie is not worth the wait. This is the second sequel to the original 1994 Disney hit and Tim Allen is back once again as jolly ol’ St. Nick. This time Santa’s role as the King of […]
