‘Secretariat’ Review

By

The Disney Studios are known for a lot of things, including their real-life sports movies, such as “Miracle”, “The Rookie” and “Invincible”. The latest to join this team is the true story of the greatest racehorse of all-time and the housewife who owned him. I realize most adults, even if they’re not die-hard horse racing […]

In a few short years Facebook went from an idea to a worldwide phenomenon. Millions and millions of people, even yours truly, has a Facebook page.

‘Nanny McPhee Returns’ Review

By

It’s been 46 years since “Mary Poppins” was released. Four and a half years ago a new British nanny arrived in movie theaters. I didn’t see the original “Nanny McPhee” when it came out in 2006, or on DVD, because it looked like a bad rip-off of the Disney classic. And I had low expectations […]

‘Step Up 3D’ Review

By

The first two “Step Up” films (’06, ’08) were surprisingly popular with movie goers, grossing a combined worldwide total of $262 million dollars. This third edition takes the series to a whole new dimension. But will it pay off? “Step Up 3” (which I saw in 3D in theaters and therefore was called “Step Up […]
