‘Beverly Hills Chihuahua’ Review

By

The trailers for Disney’s “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” called this “the greatest Chihuahua movie of all-time.” Well, it’s definitely the FIRST Chihuahua movie of all-time, but that doesn’t mean that it’s good. A pampered Chihuahua named Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore) is living the good life with her owner in Beverly Hills. But when Chloe gets […]

‘Igor’ Review

By

It’s part “Frankenstein”, part “The Nightmare Before Christmas” rip-off. But the problem with “Igor” is: none of the parts fit. John Cusack stars as the voice of Igor, a hunchback who has spent his life, like all the other Igors…doing the grunt work for an evil scientist. But this Igor wants TO BE an evil […]

‘The Longshots’ Review

By

“The Longshots” is inspired by the true story of Jasmine Plummer, who was the first girl to ever play Pop Warner football. Keke Palmer does a nice job as Plummer, who learns football from her uncle, who’s played by Ice Cube. At first everyone on the team makes fun of Jasmine because she’s a girl. […]

‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Review

By

Three years ago, after the release of his 6th Star Wars film (“Revenge of the Sith”), George Lucas said he was done with the franchise, at least as far as the big screen was concerned. But then came “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, which fits between “Attack of the Clones” and “Sith” in the series, […]

‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor’ Review

By

After seeing this third installment of “The Mummy” series I say the series is officially DEAD. Brendan Fraser is back in his role as archeologist Rick O’Connell. He and his wife (now played by Maria Bello) are retired from the killing mummy business, until they are asked to go on one final mission to deliver […]

‘The Dark Knight’ Review

By

It’s the #1 movie of 2008 and the second-highest grossing film of all-time. And it’s out on video just in time to rake-in millions more in DVD sales for Christmas. “The Dark Knight” is not exactly a “family film.” It’s rated PG-13 because of loads of violence, disturbing images and some bad language. However, so […]

‘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 […]
