Coraline (2009)

September 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Beautiful film based on a Neil Gaiman book. Saw it in regular 2D as we watched at home and really don’t enjoy the 3D experience. The story was good, but the visuals and animation were amazing. Film goes by quickly with plenty to see. imdb.com A young girl walks through a secret door in her [...]

Monsters vs Aliens (2009)

August 4th, 2010 · No Comments

Great voice cast in this sweet film about “Monsters” that defeat the aliens and save the world. The 3D thing is a bit overdone and really irrelevant when watching it on a television. But none of the effects were bothersome. imdb.com When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into [...]

Inkheart (2008)

July 5th, 2010 · No Comments

Odd film about a man and his ability to make whatever he reads outloud happen and the effect it has on his family and the characters in books that come alive. Interesting concept. Some great effects. Probably a really good kids film (10 and older). Of course, it might make them never read aloud again. [...]

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)

June 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

Been trying to find this film on cable uncut for a while. Finally gave up and watched it on the Disney Channel with commercials. Seemed fine and didn’t get cut up. Lindsay before everything went wrong. The character is a drama queen who seems willing to give up friendships in order to be more popular, [...]

Hotel for Dogs (2009)

November 11th, 2009 · No Comments

A happy dog film. No dogs die in this film. No tears were shed, though I did choke up when they were all put in the pound. This unrealistic romp about 5 teens and the dozens of dogs they save from the pound and certain death was sweet. The youngest kid was an engineer and [...]

Marley & Me (2008)

October 25th, 2009 · No Comments

Ok, I have a weakness for dog films. I can watch people sliced and diced in a film and I often don’t much care, but dogs, THAT is a whole different story. Benji – balled my eyes out when he went missing and every subsequent sequel even if he stubbed his paw. Old Yeller – [...]

Bedtime Stories (2008) [HD]

September 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I often like Adam Sandler. For the most part the films he does are funny enough and have a bit of sweetness going for them. We all know Sandler films that do not run like this, but I am going to ignore them for my own film mind health. This film was formulaic, you knew [...]

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)

August 29th, 2009 · No Comments

You ever had that night where you wanted to watch a movie, but you didn’t actually want to have to think or concentrate? Well, this is the movie for you. Adorable dogs doing silly things. And even if you don’t like silly movies, the chichuaha stampede in the desert is worth the cost of sitting [...]
