The Last Airbender
As a rule, I’ve stayed away from M. Night Shyamalan movies ever since The Village. But since The Last Airbender didn’t seem to be a typical Shyamalan flick and because…
The Karate Kid
The Karate Kid is best viewed through the eyes of today’s youth, as opposed to the eyes of aging fans (like me) of the original. I have a soft spot…

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Ka-Ching! There’s no way this franchise won’t continue to make millions (upon millions upon millions), no matter what the critics - or any Twilight naysayers- might have to say about…
The A-Team
I don't remember much about The A-Team television show from the 1980s. I do remember my little brother was a big fan of the crew of misfits who traveled around…
Knight and Day
With star power like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz you expect more than you get with Knight and Day. Not that it is a bad movie; it just doesn’t really…
Toy Story 3
I took my nephew to see Toy Story 2 back in 1999. He was three years old, and loved the movie (as much as a three-year-old can. He was a…
Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter

Summer is upon us and where are the blockbusters? Here is a list of some of the flix that people will be watching and talking about. Not too much that…
Robin Hood
No men in tights here. No borrowing from the rich to give to the poor either. This new Robin Hood is Ridley Scott's prequel to all that. We first meet…
Iron Man 2
Tony Stark, I fell in love with you the first time we met. But the second time around, well, some of the charm has worn off. I had high hopes…
Date Night
If you’re a couple enjoying a rare date night, don’t waste your time (and money) on this movie, unless you’re too tired to care that it’s pretty boring. Date Night…
Kick-Ass
What a quirky little film! From the previews I was expecting more of a comedy, but in fact, Kick-Ass is a teenage angst Tarantino action film gone awry. In it,…
The Green Zone
The Green Zone is a nice taut political thriller set in Baghdad starring Matt Damon and it feels a lot like Jason Bourne went and joined the army (which isn't…
The Ghost Writer
First, the good news: Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan and Olivia Williams deliver solid performances in this political thriller directed by Roman Polanski. The bad news: The Ghost Writer is often…
The Hurt Locker
The Hurt Locker is one of those films that came and went without much fanfare, and then when all the awards nominations began to come out, it was on just…
