‘Year One’ Review

By

What a difference one year can make! In 2008 Jack Black voiced the lovable Po in the animated hit “Kung Fu Panda”, and was very funny in my favorite film of the year, “Be Kind Rewind”. However, in “Year One”, Black is not lovable or funny. And the movie will be no one’s favorite film […]

‘Battle for Terra’ Review

By

“Battle For Terra” was not a box office hit when it came out in early May. And I don’t think too many people are going to rush out and buy it on DVD either. “Terra” is about a planet named Terra and the creatures that live there. In the beginning of the film there is […]
