A critic has to not only review great films, but also has to tell the audience that some movies are just flat-out bad. In my opinion, these are the worst family films Hollywood produced in 2010: 10. “Alice in Wonderland” Tim Burton’s version of the classic books and original Disney film, was long, serious, depressing, […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! It’s time for my annual list of the best movies of the year. Choosing 10 was very difficult (as you can see, since I ended-up going with 11): 10. (tie) “The Social Network” / “True Grit” “The Social Network” features great performances, a nice style of storytelling, and is interesting for Facebook […]

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Disney Pres. of ditribution Chuck Viane says, “Disney has had incredible success opening films over the Thanksgiving weekend, and thanks to “Tangled”, we have the top three Thanksgiving […]

It’s that time of the year once again. Here are my DVD/Blu-ray gift ideas for all the movie fans in your family. Best Mom Movie – “Nanny McPhee Returns“ (PG) (Out on DVD Dec.14) This movie is really not about NMcP. It’s about the mother and how she deals with her kids and their cousins […]

The line-up for next year’s Sundance Film Festival is coming together.

It stars Freddie Highmore, Emma Roberts (a personal favorite), Rita Wison and Blair Underwood, […]
