GRADE: 5 out of 5 I’d like to thank Disney and the folks who sent me this blu-ray copy since LADY AND THE TRAMP was one of the few Disney’s greats from the studio’s early golden era of animation that I never got to fully watched when I was a kid, I’d only seen bits [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 I love this movie! Fantastical, flawless, fun family film, wow, that’s a lot of Fs, but seriously it’s great to have Studio Ghibli back with their latest adaptation, since I wasn’t completely taken by Ponyo. I think the American voice cast were great, I’m curious to know what may or [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST looks even more stunning in 3D and my favorite Disney princess, the sexiest nerd/bookworm of them all, Belle, is as wonderful as I remember her. It’s been ages since the last time I watched this film, so it’s good to have it back. Some will argue [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 Those adorable singing chipmunks are back! I grew up watching the cartooon show on re-runs when I was a kid and I enjoyed the first film but the previous installment was a mess in my book. This one, however, ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIP-WRECKED is a fun family adventure film. [...]

GRADE: 2 out of 5 I was never a fan of the previous three Spy Kids movies and to be honest, SPY KIDS: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD failed to get me to like this franchise. I’m a huge fan of Robert Rodriguez’s Mariachi trilogy and his adaptation of Sin City but this movie [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 There are many reasons to love ARTHUR CHRISTMAS, it is quite possibly the most original and creative holiday themed adventure movie in recent years. The concepts presented in this movie boldly break down certain traditional mindset, opinions and assumptions about Christmas but it remains true to the legendary spirit of [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 MY WEEK WITH MARILYN is exquisite! Michelle Williams’ portrayal of the legendary Marilyn Monroe is luminous and heartbreaking. It must be challenging to play one of cinema’s all time bombastic bombshells, Williams doesn’t look like Marilyn Monroe but she captures Monroe’s essence, her soft spoken voice and her sultry, teasing, [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 HUGO is a refreshing, wondrous detour for Scorsese. It’s not one of my top favorite Scorsese films of all time but it works as a family movie. I can imagine the great director just having fun with this material and the 3D aspects, he’s like a kid in a candy [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 I don’t care what haters say, I think HAPPY FEET TWO is better than its predecessor. It’s more fun, more entertaining, with a solid storyline and a group of interesting new characters. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big supporter of saving planet earth, but what felt forced about the [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 It’s every bit as exciting as I’d hoped. THE ADVENTURES OF TITIN rocks! I think there should be a TINTIN theme ride 3D at Universal Studios because the film sure feels like you’re in one. Master storytellers Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have brought to life one of all time’s [...]
