‘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 […]

‘Space Chimps’ Review

By

One of the great things about “Space Chimps”, the latest animated movie from the folks at Vanguard, is that the main character is actually based on real life. In 1961 a chimp named Ham was launched into space by NASA. In “Space Chimps”, Ham’s grandson, Ham III, works for at the circus as a daredevil, […]

‘Meet Dave’ Review

By

If someone asks you to “Meet Dave”, say “No Thank You.” “Meet Dave” is Eddie Murphy’s new comedy. Problem is – I didn’t laugh once the entire movie. Murphy plays the captain of a spaceship that comes to Earth from another planet to steal the salt out of our oceans. They need the salt to […]

‘Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D’ Review

By

Brendan Fraser stars in “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” It’s the first of two films that Fraser starred in last summer and it’s a pretty good one. Fraser plays Trevor, a scientist and professor who isn’t doing too well in either area. His nephew Sean (played by Josh Hutcherson) comes to live with […]

‘Hancock’ Review

By

I can describe “Hancock”, in two words: Very Odd. Hancock is a superhero who lives here on Earth and looks like a regular person. But he acts like a bum and is mean to everybody and even when he saves people he causes so much trouble that no one likes him. One day he saves […]

‘WALL-E’ Review

By

“WALL-E”, 2009’s film from the amazing folks at Disney/Pixar, is a lot more serious than their usual movies and, for me, a bit of a disappointment. WALL-E is a robot who’s been left behind on Earth to clean-up after all the humans leave to live in outer space. His name stands for Waste Allocation Load […]
