‘Avatar’ Review

By

It’s the highest-grossing movie of all-time, and millions of people will be buying DVD/Blu-ray copies. I won’t be one of them. “Avatar” is out on video.

Disney’s 2009 “A Christmas Carol” is finally out on DVD. The studio hoping that the #1 anti-Christmas guy – Scrooge – can make this movie a hit for the second holiday season in a row. “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” is directed by Robert Zemeckis, who also did the 2004 holiday film, “The Polar Express”. Zemeckis […]

‘Astro Boy’ Review

By

He’s a classic Japanese character and a long-time cartoon cult favorite. Last summer “Astro Boy” hit the big screen, with help from his friends in Hong Kong. “Astro Boy” is set in futuristic Metro City, where robots are smart and helpful, doing practically everything for the humans. The top robotic scientist in the land watches […]
