‘Letters to God’ Review

By

Not many people got to see “Letters to God” when it was briefly in theaters back in April. I praised the film on TV and on-line, and actually heard from the film’s producer, David Nixon, who thanked me for my review and for helping to spread the word about the film. It’s now out on […]

‘Clash of the Titans’ Review

By

It was shot in 2D, then converted to 3D. But “Clash of the Titans” can be summed-up with just 1D, and that stands for DISASTER. When released in theaters earlier this year the movie had the 3-D worst of any film I’ve ever seen. And here’s why: the studio decided AFTER the movie was shot that […]

‘Alice in Wonderland’ Review

By

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have done several movies together, including “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Edward Scissorhands”. However, their latest collaboration has me as mad as a hatter, because it’s just not very good. “Alice in Wonderland” is based on the two, classic Lewis Carroll books, but it’s isn’t a remake of the […]

‘Extraordinary Measures’ Review

By

Hollywood heavyweights Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford are best known for their action roles. But in “Extraordinary Measures” they get to show-off their dramatic acting skills. The film is based on the true story of the Crowley family, which includes two children who suffer from Pompe disease, which causes their muscles to weaken and their […]

‘Tooth Fairy’ Review

By

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has starred in a bunch of family films in recent years, most the them not very good. “Tooth Fairy” – isn’t great, but it’s not bad, thanks to some help from his friends. “The Rock” plays Derek Thompson, a professional hockey player. He use to be a star in the NHL, […]
