‘Brave’ Review

By

Pixar’s track record for great animated movies has been close to perfect. I wasn’t a huge fan of “Wall-E”, though many think it’s the studio’s best. I liked last year’s “Cars 2” a lot, though it didn’t get the overall critical reaction it deserved. The studio’s 13th feature, “Brave”, is their first with a female […]

‘The Pirates! Band of Misfits’ Review

‘Big Miracle’ Review

By

“Big Miracle” is not inspired by the true story of the U.S. hockey team beating Russia in the 1980 Winter Olympics. That was 2004’s “Miracle”. In this movie the Americans and Russians actually work together, to try to save three whales. And, yes, it’s also based on an actual event. John Krasinski (from TV’s “The […]

‘We Bought a Zoo’ Review

By

Normally when a studio holds an early, nationwide screening for audiences it’s because they think the film is really good and that the buzz will be helpful to spread the word. Last fall Fox decided to show “We Bought a Zoo” to thousands and thousands of people, not a week or two before it’s schedule […]
