Ahoy Mates! No, it’s not yet another “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie. Instead, set sail for my review of “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything: A Veggie Tales Movie.” The film comes from the people behind the Veggie Tales videos and 2001’s “Jonah: A Veggie Tales Movie.” But this story does not come from the […]
We haven’t seen much of The Chipmunks since their 1980’s TV cartoon. And you’ve never seen them like this. Alvin, Simon and Theodore are on the big screen for the first time in “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” Jason Lee stars as David Seville, a songwriter who’s having trouble coming-up with good songs. One night the […]
New Line Cinema’s latest film takes audiences on a fantasy adventure with the help of a “Golden Compass. Actress Dakota Blue Richards beat-out 10-thousand girls to get the role of the main character, Lyra. The story follows Lyra on a journey as she and friends she gains along the way, including a polar bear and […]
Disney’s 2007 Christmas gift to moviegoers is out on DVD just in time to get into Easter baskets everywhere! “Enchanted” begins as a cartoon in Fairytale Land. Princess Giselle (voiced and played by Amy Adams) is looking for a handsome prince. Soon she meets one, but before they can get married the Princess gets dumped […]
It came out late in the year, but “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporiumum’s ” was still able to get onto my list of Worst Films of 2007. Dustin Hoffman stars as the wacky (and old) owner of a toy store who has decided it’s time to give-up running the store and hand it over to his […]
Sometimes a movie can have bad trailers and still be pretty good. I watched the trailers for “Fred Claus” for months before it came out in theaters last year and I wasn’t expecting very much from the movie. But, turned out, “Fred Claus” was definitely worth seeing, and it’s worth a viewing now that it’s […]
John Cusack gives a wonderful performance in the new movie “Martian Child”. Cusack plays best-selling science fiction author David Gordon, who has recently lost his wife and is now considering adopting a child. The child he ends-up choosing, named Dennis, (and played by Bobby Coleman) is a little unusual because he thinks he’s from Mars. […]
Nearly 5-years in the making, Jerry Seinfeld’s “Bee Movie” is finally here! The animated film stars Seinfeld as Barry B. Benson, a bee who’s just graduated from college and now has to take a job in the honey factory with all the other bees. But Barry wants to leave the hive and check-out the human […]
I’ll get right to the point: “The Comebacks” is a loser. The idea is good – a sports movie that makes fun of other sports movies. But this film is awful. It’s not funny and it’s certainly not for kids! Too much adult humor, or, I should say, adult NO humor. No need to explain […]
The first documentary I ever saw was “March of the Penguins”, back in 2005. It’s so good I saw it twice! Now I’ve seen my second. This new one is called “In the Shadow of the Moon”, and it’s the story of the nine American astronauts who have gone to the moon. The movie was […]
