‘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.

‘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 […]

‘Nim’s Island’ Review

By

From the people who brought us last year’s “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium” comes another bad family film. “Nim’s Island” stars Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin. She plays Nim, an 11-year old girl who lives on a secret island with her father (played by Gerard Butler) and her sea animal friends, including a sea lion named Selkie […]

‘College Road Trip’ Review

By

Last year Disney’s family comedy “The Game Plan” was predictable and not very funny. And Disney does it again in 2008 with “College Road Trip”, which is one of the worst films of the year so far. Martin Lawrence stars as a police officer whose daughter wants to go to a college that’s far away […]
