‘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) […]

‘Waiting for Superman’ Review

By

In 2006 director Davis Guggenheim’s documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, examined the problem of global warming.

The words Alpha and Omega mean the beginning and the end. As for the movie “Alpha and Omega”, I hated it from the beginning and couldn’t wait for it to end. The film, from the small Crest Animation Studio, is the story of two young wolves who live with their packs in Canada. Kate and […]

‘Flipped’ Review

By

Rob Reiner has made some classic movies, including “Stand By Me”, “When Harry Met Sally…” and “The Princess Bride”. “Flipped” isn’t a classic, but it’s a worthy addition to his list of accomplishments as a director. “Flipped” is adapted from a popular young-adult novel about young love written by Wendelin Van Draanen. The book is […]
