‘Tangled’ Review

By

Disney Princesses have delighted and captivated audiences, young and old alike, for over 70 years. If the studio follows through with their plan of not doing any more fairy tale/princess movies, at least they’re finishing on a high note. “Tangled” is loosely based on the classic Grimm’s Fairy Tale, “Rapunzel”. In this version, a wicked […]

‘Megamind’ Review

By

DreamWorks Animation released three animated films in 2010. I really enjoyed “How to Train your Dragon” and “Shrek Forever After”. And I really wanted to like “Megamind”. The movie begins with a backstory. We see how life started-out for Megamind and how and why he became a super- villain. Will Ferrell (the voice of Megamind) […]

‘Waiting for Superman’ Review

By

In 2006 director Davis Guggenheim’s documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, examined the problem of global warming. In 2010 Guggenheim followed that Oscar-winning film with “Waiting for Superman”, which looks at another major issue: the problems with the public school system in America.

‘Flipped’ Review

By

Rob Reiner has made some classic movies, including “Stand By Me”, “When Harry Met Sally…” and “The Princess Bride”. “Flipped” isn’t a classic, but it’s a worthy addition to his list of accomplishments as a director. “Flipped” is adapted from a popular young-adult novel about young love written by Wendelin Van Draanen. The book is […]

‘Nanny McPhee Returns’ Review

By

It’s been 46 years since “Mary Poppins” was released. Four and a half years ago a new British nanny arrived in movie theaters. I didn’t see the original “Nanny McPhee” when it came out in 2006, or on DVD, because it looked like a bad rip-off of the Disney classic. And I had low expectations […]
