‘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. In 1961 a chimp named Ham was launched into space by NASA. In “Space Chimps”, Ham’s grandson, Ham III, works for at the circus as a daredevil, […]

‘Meet Dave’ Review

By

If someone asks you to “Meet Dave”, say “No Thank You.” “Meet Dave” is Eddie Murphy’s new comedy. Problem is – I didn’t laugh once the entire movie. Murphy plays the captain of a spaceship that comes to Earth from another planet to steal the salt out of our oceans. They need the salt to […]

‘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 […]

‘Hancock’ Review

I can describe “Hancock”, in two words: Very Odd. Hancock is a superhero who lives here on Earth and looks like a regular person. But he acts like a bum and is mean to everybody and even when he saves people he causes so much trouble that no one likes him. One day he saves […]

‘WALL-E’ Review

By

“WALL-E”, 2009’s film from the amazing folks at Disney/Pixar, is a lot more serious than their usual movies and, for me, a bit of a disappointment. 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 […]

‘Get Smart’ Review

By

Most of the 60’s TV comedies that Hollywood has made into feature films, such as “Bewitched” and “The Flintstones” have been disappointments with critics and at the box office. But Not “Get Smart”, which keeps you laughing from start to finish. Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, is played by Steve Carell and early in the movie […]

‘Kung Fu Panda’ Review

By

Jack Black stars in my favorite live-action film of 2008 so far – “Be Kind Rewind.” And he also stars in my favorite animated film of the year – the hilarious “Kung Fu Panda.” Black voices Po, a Panda who loves Kung Fu and the great Kung Fu masters, and he dreams of someday becoming […]

‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ Review

By

Da Da Da Da…Da Da Da. That’s right…after 19 years…and two months… the 4th installment in the “Indiana Jones” series is out on DVD. Of course, Harrison Ford is back. This time the movie is set in 1953 and the villains are Russians. The chief villain is played by Cate Blanchett, who, when she first […]
