‘The Smurfs’ Review

By

A lot of fans (myself included) were Singing a Happy Song when the Smurfs returned to the big screen for the first time in nearly 30 years this past summer. They got a CGI makeover, but are still true blue! And everyone who watched the TV show, read the books and bought the merchandise was […]

‘Winnie the Pooh’ Review

By

I was very excited when I first learned that Disney was planning to bring Winnie the Pooh back to the big screen. I’ve loved all the characters from the Hundred Acre Wood since I was very young. Once I saw the trailer for the first time late last year and then learned that this new […]

‘Buck’ Review

By

“Buck” is the year’s best documentary for a lot of reasons, but mainly because of its honesty. The focus of the film is Buck Brannaman, a modern day cowboy who works with horses and their owners. Buck has an amazing way of “breaking” young horses – getting them to behave and be calm so that […]

‘Zookeeper’ Review

By

The summer of 2011 was filled with some very AVERAGE movies, which is why I’ve gave out more “C” grades than any other.

‘Monte Carlo’ Review

By

“Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop” centers around the talk show host and comedian’s life between the time he left NBC (after his brief time hosting “The Tonight Show”) and when he started his new hosting gig on TBS. O’Brien was obviously devastated after he got the boot from NBC, and part of the deal was that […]

‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ Review

By

2007’s “Transformers” was an exciting action film with a good, human story to go with it. After seeing “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” two years later I never wanted to watch another Autobot vs. Decepticon battle. But Paramount decided the world needed a third “Transformers” film even though most critics and moviegoers hated the sequel. […]

‘Cars 2’ Review

By

“Cars” is my all-time favorite Disney/Pixar film. It’s got memorable characters, great dialogue, a terrific story and wonderful animation. And it has a lot of heart. “Cars 2” is not as good as the original, but it still doesn’t disappoint. This is a rare case when the storyline for a sequel is almost completely different […]
