‘Grown Ups’ Review

By

You’d think that a film written by Adam Sandler, and starring him and four other well-known and successful comic actors would be hilarious. In the case of “Grown Ups”, the comedy fails. Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider play five friends who all played together of a championship basketball team when […]

‘Toy Story 3’ Review

By

The most popular and successful animated movie of all-time will soon become one of the most popular and successful DVD’s of all-time. 15 years ago the first computer animated film was released.

‘The A-Team’ Review

By

To steal a line from Col. John “Hannibal” Smith: “I love it when a movie comes together, and this movie came together.” “The A-Team” is jam-packed with funny lines, good performances and TONS of action. The movie contains some of the most outrageous and creative action scenes ever seen. And even though some of them […]

‘Shrek Forever After’ Review

By

The first “Shrek” (2001) won the first-ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The next two movies in the series together grossed over $1-billion worldwide. “Shrek”, over the past decade, has become a cultural phenomenon, with a TV Christmas special, a Broadway show and tons of merchandice. Sadly, “Shrek Forever After” is the final chapter […]

‘Robin Hood’ Review

By

The story of Robin Hood has been told many times on the big screen, with the likes of Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner and an animated Disney fox playing the title role. There isn’t any “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor” in this latest version, because it’s a “prequel” to the story that […]
