Old Dogs Review

Old Dogs Review

It is hard to fathom what is worse: that this is the final time Bernie Mac will ever appear on screen or that the producers, director, and studio thought this was a great idea.

Where the Wild Things Are Review

This is a departure for children’s films, where the movie grinds to a halt as the monsters display feelings.

Monsters Inc. Review

Monsters Inc. Review

Monsters Inc. will unlikely have the lasting impact of a Wall E., but it’s not trying to be in that same mold either.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Review

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Review

If someone created a machine that could convert water to steak, would a vegan be able to eat it? The people of Chewandswallow don’t seem to care, scarfing down hot dogs and cheeseburgers at an alarming rate, but then again, no one in the town claims to be a vegan either. It’s just a thought.

The Princess Bride Review

Or…
Imagine those same guinea pigs lost, delivered to a pet store and forced to live the [...]

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Review

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Review

Hank Azaria should be the lead star on the poster for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. He plays Kah Mun Rah, an Egyptian king brought back to life thanks to the same stone tablet used in the first film.
He’s having a difficult time adjusting to the modern world, fighting both Larry Daley [...]

Aliens in the Attic Review

Aliens in the Attic Review

Here is why older people don’t understand today’s kids: Aliens in the Attic features two twin boys, both video game fans. One of them is wearing a t-shirt for the Atari 2600 game Grand Prix. Does anyone believe the kid has played the game, let alone know what it is while they pound away on [...]
