‘The Dark Knight’ Review

By

It’s the #1 movie of 2008 and the second-highest grossing film of all-time. And it’s out on video just in time to rake-in millions more in DVD sales for Christmas. “The Dark Knight” is not exactly a “family film.” It’s rated PG-13 because of loads of violence, disturbing images and some bad language. However, so […]

‘Space Chimps’ Review

By

One of the great things about “Space Chimps”, the latest animated movie from the folks at Vanguard, is that the main character is actually based on real life.

‘Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D’ Review

By

Brendan Fraser stars in “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” It’s the first of two films that Fraser starred in last summer and it’s a pretty good one. Fraser plays Trevor, a scientist and professor who isn’t doing too well in either area. His nephew Sean (played by Josh Hutcherson) comes to live with […]

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 […]

‘Persepolis’ Review

“Persepolis” was the third film nominated for Best Animated Feature last year (along with “Ratatouille” and “Surf’s Up”). The movie comes from a graphic novel, written by Marjane Satrapi. The story follows her life as a young girl growing-up in the country of Iran from the late 1960’s to the early 80’s. This was a […]

‘The Spiderwick Chronicles’ Review

By

Nickelodeon and Paramount team up to bring one of the newest, popular children’s book series to the big screen. The result is “The Spiderwick Chronicles”, which provides much of the excitement and wonder of the books, with plenty of changes. Freddie Highmore plays twin brothers Jared and Simon Grace, who move into their Aunt Lucinda’s […]
