‘Dolphin Tale’ Review

By

“Dolphin Tale” is inspired by the true story of an amazing animal. And while most of the human characters in the film aren’t based on real people, the star – a bottlenose dolphin named Winter – actually plays herself! The movie begins with Winter being discovered washed ashore by Sawyer (Nathan Gamble). Sawyer isn’t looking […]

‘The Lion King 3D’ Review

By

“The Lion King” is one of Disney’s most popular films of all-time. In fact it’s the studio’s highest-grossing non-Pixar animated film ever (and #4 on the all-time animation list). In 2002, Disney re-released the movie for the first time, in IMAX theaters. And now nine years later the studio had brought it back again, this […]

‘Warrior’ Review

‘The Help’ Review

By

Even though “The Help” was released in August it should be a serious contender for honors this award season. It’s an emotional and inspiring drama, with more than a touch of humor. The film is based on the 2009 best-selling novel of the same name. In fact, “The Help” is a movie about a book […]

‘Cowboys & Aliens’ Review

By

Down through the years there’s been a long list of popular, memorable and successful combinations: Batman and Robin, Bert and Ernie, Peanut Butter and Jelly. “Cowboys & Aliens” will never join that list. While this is a unique premise for an action film – having unfriendly visitors from space attack the residents of a small […]
