Beware the “The”: The Amazing Grace, a movie review

In case you didn’t know, I’m a Netflix user. I love it. My queue (a stored list of movies to rent) is over 300 movies long.
And while sometimes the hubs get a vote in what movie I add to the queue, mostly the list is mine, run completely by me, with some [...]

The Tale of Despereaux, a movie review

So, we’re on a 2 1/2 week winter break (thank you, SNOW) and looking for things to do close by. Fortunately for us, The Tale of Despereaux started at our island multiplex.
We thoroughly enjoyed this little gem. The Kid, who’s five, was scared a few times, but I kept assuring her that nothing [...]

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa, a movie review

Should you go see it? For a kid’s movie sequel, I’d say it [...]

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 [...]

Is this the message you want your kids to hear?? Horton Hears A Who movie review

“A person’s a person, no matter how small!”
Yes, it opened yesterday (big) and being the movie loser lover I am, I took Kid to Horton Hears a Who.
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 [...]

Sure, the idea of a guy [...]
