Madagascar Escape 2 Africa, a movie review

Combine rain with a no-school day, and what do you get? A mob scene at the local movie theater. No parking spaces, long lines, it was like going to a movie in L.A., without the smog or the parking fees.
Should you go see it? For a kid’s movie sequel, I’d say it [...]

“tiny but mighty” — Beverly Hills Chihuahua, a movie review

With a monster DIY project happening at our house (which I’ll probably blog about, knowing me), Kid and I left to go see Beverly Hills Chihuahua starring Drew Barrymore as Chloe, the chihuahua.
How was it? Not bad. I kinda liked it, so that’s pretty good for a movie clearly targeted for kids. [...]

Compare/Contrast: Kung Fu Panda vs. Wall-E

And now, I shall revisit high school English class with my compare and contrast of

Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E.
COMPARE:
1. Both are cartoons.
2. Neither is rated R.
3. Both are less than 100 minutes long.
CONTRAST:
1. Panda is clearly made for kids with colorful, rollicking fun; Wall-E is made for….well, I can only guess, depressed environmentalists who just [...]

Sure, it was colorful, silly and most importantly, less than 90 minutes long, but there was this message.
And they kept repeating it.
And while laughing nervously, I [...]

You may not have seen Lars and the Real Girl when it played for 2 days at your local theater, but I am here to tell you to find it, see it, and when it comes out next month on DVD, RENT IT! Heck, just buy the dang thing.
Sure, the idea of a guy [...]

rata-whatie? Ratatouille, a movie review

I’ve written before of my thrill at taking the Kid to her first movie. Now, we’ve come full circle from seeing Flushed Away, about a rat in a sewer, to seeing Ratatouille, about a rat fixing dinner. Next, they’ll have Colon Flushed, about a middle-aged rat having a camera tube inserted….no, never mind. [...]

movie SOS: Cache, a movie review

Has anyone seen Cache’? It’s a French film about a father and his guilt about events in his childhood, at least that is what it is about on the surface…..I think. I watched this movie and then had to Google it to figure out WTF I just watched! Some viewers even theorized [...]
