Talking animal movies have been pretty common in recent years. But this talking animal movie is based on a comic strip character, which is a little different. It’s good ol’ Marmaduke. For a change, Owen Wilson doesn’t play the owner of a dog – instead he does the voice of Marmaduke, who is a teenage […]
Who knew that three singing chipmunks who were so popular on TV back in the ’60’s would be such a hit in their 2007 big-screen debut? I knew! But could Alvin, Simon and Theodore do it again two years later? Well they did, sort of. And now “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” is out […]
If you saw it in the theater you already know what I’m about to tell you: “The Princess and the Frog” isn’t in the same class as the great Disney Princess films. In fact, the princess isn’t even a princess until the final 30 seconds of the movie! Tiana is a young woman who’s always […]
The trailer for “Planet 51” began running almost a year before the film came out in theaters (Jan 16, right before “Paul Blart, Mall Cop”), and I’d probably saw that trailer and others at least 30 times before I finally got to see the actual movie. Normally that’s not a good thing – and that […]
46 years after it was first published, Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, was released as a film this past summer, to mixed reviews. “Where the Wild Things Are” follows the plot of the book: Max is a 9 year old boy who’s a little out-of-control. He’s going through some rough […]
The Terminator came “BAAACK” this summer, 25 years after the original film and 6 years since the most recent sequel. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really worth the wait. The main character in “Terminator Salvation” is a grown-up John Connor (played by Christian Bale) who continues to lead the resistance against the Terminator robots. Connor and the […]
“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 […]
“Earth” is the product of Disney’s new spin-off company – DisneyNature. It’s their first movie honoring our planet. And it won’t be their last (more on that later). “Earth” is a documentary about a year in the lives of the animals and planets that live on our planet. It specifically follows three animal families: whales, […]
The Disney-created phenomenon known as Hannah Montana and her real-life alter ego Miley Cyrus, are finally in an actual film, and if you’re a huge fan, this really is a DVD you need to own. The storyline follows the TV show: Miley Stewart is living two different lives – she’s a pop sensation and a […]
The first thing you should know is that I’m not a big fan of Jonas Brothers fan. Don’t like ’em, don’t hate ’em. Know a few of their songs. Would never buy one of their CD’s or see them in concert. However, practically everyone else on hand when I saw “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert […]
