‘City of Ember’ Review

By

In 200 years we humans will be forced to live underground. That’s the bad news. The good news is: Bill Murray will be our Mayor. “City of Ember” is based on the popular novel about a future world in which the remaining people on Earth live in an underground city that is falling apart. The […]

‘The Express’ Review

By

“The Express” didn’t get a lot of attention when it was in theaters or a lot of respect from critics. But, it’s an outstanding film that made my list of the Top Five Family Films of 2008. “The Express” is based on the remarkable, true story of Ernie Davis who was the first African-American to […]

‘Beverly Hills Chihuahua’ Review

By

The trailers for Disney’s “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” called this “the greatest Chihuahua movie of all-time.” Well, it’s definitely the FIRST Chihuahua movie of all-time, but that doesn’t mean that it’s good. A pampered Chihuahua named Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore) is living the good life with her owner in Beverly Hills. But when Chloe gets […]

‘Igor’ Review

By

It’s part “Frankenstein”, part “The Nightmare Before Christmas” rip-off. But the problem with “Igor” is: none of the parts fit. John Cusack stars as the voice of Igor, a hunchback who has spent his life, like all the other Igors…doing the grunt work for an evil scientist. But this Igor wants TO BE an evil […]

‘The Longshots’ Review

By

“The Longshots” is inspired by the true story of Jasmine Plummer, who was the first girl to ever play Pop Warner football. Keke Palmer does a nice job as Plummer, who learns football from her uncle, who’s played by Ice Cube. At first everyone on the team makes fun of Jasmine because she’s a girl. […]

‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Review

By

Three years ago, after the release of his 6th Star Wars film (“Revenge of the Sith”), George Lucas said he was done with the franchise, at least as far as the big screen was concerned. But then came “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, which fits between “Attack of the Clones” and “Sith” in the series, […]

‘Swing Vote’ Review

By

“Swing Vote”, which came out in August, gives us a look at what could have happened in this past November’s presidential election. The movie provides an interesting and funny look at what would happen if it came down to one person to decide the next President of the United States. Kevin Costner plays Bud Johnson […]

‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor’ Review

By

After seeing this third installment of “The Mummy” series I say the series is officially DEAD. Brendan Fraser is back in his role as archeologist Rick O’Connell. He and his wife (now played by Maria Bello) are retired from the killing mummy business, until they are asked to go on one final mission to deliver […]

‘The Dark Knight’ Review

By

It’s the #1 movie of 2008 and the second-highest grossing film of all-time. And it’s out on video just in time to rake-in millions more in DVD sales for Christmas. “The Dark Knight” is not exactly a “family film.” It’s rated PG-13 because of loads of violence, disturbing images and some bad language. However, so […]
