How do I put this nicely? “Aliens in the Attic” is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. The plot is so simple and predictable: A group of four alien creatures come to Earth and land on the roof of a vacation home. They are discovered by some of the kids staying there. The […]
Over the past few years Disney has churned-out several live-action films with talking dogs, including “Underdog” and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”. In “G-Force” Guinea pigs take center stage. The movie centers around a group of animal special agent super spies, known as G-Force, who are put into action to try to stop an evil businessman from […]
Since 2001, J.K. Rowling’s Best-Selling Harry Potter books have been made into movies and, together, the first five films have grossed billions of dollars worldwide. For me this 6th installment is a bit of a disappointment. In “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” Harry and his friends return to Hogwarts for another year of schooling. […]
“Ice Age” and “Ice Age: The Meltdown” are two of the most popular animated films of the past decade. The original was nominated for an Oscar back in 2003, and combined they made over $1 billion dollars worldwide. So it’s no surprise that they made a third. “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” brings back […]
Eddie Murphy’s family comedy, “Meet Dave”, was one of the major disappointments of 2008. Well, he’s bounced back nicely with “Imagine That”. Murphy plays Evan Danielson, a financial advisor and divorced father who isn’t a great dad. He has to take care of his 7 year old daughter for an entire week and is pretty […]
“Up” is the 10th Disney/Pixar film, it was one of the box office hits of this past summer and is one of the best films of 2009. And the DVD and Blu-ray editions were worth the wait. Ed Asner voices Carl Fredrickson, a widower who’s being forced to leave the house that he’s lived-in for […]
There’s no simpler way to put it: the first “Night at the Museum”, which came out in 2006, was fun and entertaining. This sequel is the exact opposite. In “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” Ben Stiller is back as Larry Daley, the night watchman in the first film who quit his job […]
“Battle For Terra” was not a box office hit when it came out in early May. And I don’t think too many people are going to rush out and buy it on DVD either. “Terra” is about a planet named Terra and the creatures that live there. In the beginning of the film there is […]
I never thought a martial arts movie, based on a graphic novel about a boy trying to save Earth from total destruction, could be so CORNY! “Dragonball Evolution” is terrible. The acting is cheesy, the special effects are goofy and the plot is so predictable I could see everything coming from a mile away. And […]
DreamWorks Animation has had big hits with the “Shrek” and “Madagascar” films, and “Kung Fu Panda”. “Monsters vs. Aliens” isn’t one of their best, but it’s still pretty good. I’m sure you know the story by now: a woman named Susan Murphy gets hit by a meteor on her wedding day and she grows to […]
