‘Cars 2’ Review

By

“Cars” is my all-time favorite Disney/Pixar film. It’s got memorable characters, great dialogue, a terrific story and wonderful animation. And it has a lot of heart. “Cars 2” is not as good as the original, but it still doesn’t disappoint. This is a rare case when the storyline for a sequel is almost completely different […]

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 […]

‘Unknown’ Review

By

Liam Neeson stars as Dr. Martin Harris…or is he? That’s the premise of “Unknown”. Harris is traveling with his wife (January Jones) to Berlin for a medical conference. He forgets a bag at the airport and on his way back to get it his taxi is involved in a terrible crash. The Dr. wakes up […]

‘Gnomeo & Juliet’ Review

By

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 […]

‘Tangled’ Review

By

Disney Princesses have delighted and captivated audiences, young and old alike, for over 70 years. If the studio follows through with their plan of not doing any more fairy tale/princess movies, at least they’re finishing on a high note. “Tangled” is loosely based on the classic Grimm’s Fairy Tale, “Rapunzel”. In this version, a wicked […]

‘Morning Glory’ Review

By

I’m a big fan of TV morning news programs and I’ve been fortunate enough to have been on a few. That’s why I was so anxious to see “Morning Glory” when it came out last November. And I enjoyed it so much that I ended-up seeing it twice. Rachel McAdams plays Becky Fuller, a producer […]

‘Secretariat’ Review

By

The Disney Studios are known for a lot of things, including their real-life sports movies, such as “Miracle”, “The Rookie” and “Invincible”. The latest to join this team is the true story of the greatest racehorse of all-time and the housewife who owned him. I realize most adults, even if they’re not die-hard horse racing […]

‘Hubble 3D’ Review

By

“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. […]

‘Salt’ Review

By

Angelina Jolie has played a wide variety of characters in her movie career – from Lara Croft to Mrs. Smith to the Tigress in the animated hit “Kung Fu Panda”. But her latest role may be the toughest of them all, because she may be a Russian spy. Or maybe not. That’s the premise of […]
