‘Gulliver’s Travels’ Review

By

Jack Black starred in two of the best films of 2008 – “Be Kind Rewind” and “Kung Fu Panda”. In 2009 Black was part of the one of the worst film of the year – “Year One”. But last year he hit, quite possibly, a personal all-time low with the incredibly bad “Gulliver’s Travels”. This […]

‘True Grit’ Review

By

“True Grit” is the first real western I’ve seen/reviewed and my first Coen Brothers film. It’s based on the classic novel and is a remake of the 1969 film that starred the great John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn. It didn’t get a lot of love from Oscar voters but it’s definitely worth watching, even if […]

‘Yogi Bear’ Review

By

You don’t have to be a fan of the old Yogi Bear cartoons to enjoy “Yogi Bear” the movie. In fact, I’m sure most kids have never heard of Yogi or Boo Boo or Ranger Smith or Jellystone Park. Fortunately, most parents do know these characters and the good news is that both adults and […]

‘TRON: Legacy’ Review

By

Can you make a good sequel of a bad movie? That was the big question in my mind as I prepared to see “TRON: Legacy” when it came out last year. I watched the original a few weeks earlier to get ready for “Legacy”. “TRON” was a groundbreaking film back in 1982, the first movie […]

‘Tangled’ Review

By

Disney Princesses have delighted and captivated audiences, young and old alike, for over 70 years. If the studio follows through with their plan of not doing any more fairy tale/princess movies, at least they’re finishing on a high note. “Tangled” is loosely based on the classic Grimm’s Fairy Tale, “Rapunzel”. In this version, a wicked […]

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1’ Review

By

In 2001, Warner Bros. took a bit of a risk and began what would become one of the most popular and successful movie franchises of all-time. Now, nearly 10 years later, the end of “Harry Potter” has begun. As “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” begins Harry, Ron and Hermione are out of Hogwarts and on […]

‘Unstoppable’ Review

By

The thing about a movie like “Unstoppable” is that you know the problem (a runaway train) can’t be solved early in the movie, because then there wouldn’t be an end of the movie. And you know the problem won’t be fixed by one of the characters being played by a no-name actors. No, only the […]

‘Morning Glory’ Review

By

I’m a big fan of TV morning news programs and I’ve been fortunate enough to have been on a few. That’s why I was so anxious to see “Morning Glory” when it came out last November. And I enjoyed it so much that I ended-up seeing it twice. Rachel McAdams plays Becky Fuller, a producer […]

‘Megamind’ Review

By

DreamWorks Animation released three animated films in 2010. I really enjoyed “How to Train your Dragon” and “Shrek Forever After”. And I really wanted to like “Megamind”. The movie begins with a backstory. We see how life started-out for Megamind and how and why he became a super- villain. Will Ferrell (the voice of Megamind) […]
