Beauty and The Beast 3D opens this Friday, January 13th, and if you’ve never seen the movie, it might just be time. The age-old story of finding true love beneath a less-than-attractive exterior is told in animated – and now 3-dimensional – glory in this updated Disney film, originally released in 1991. I was intrigued [...]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes comes out on DVD on December 13th and my kids and I were thrilled to see it. There is plenty of Ape action and the humans were pretty good, too. My kids and I thought it made for a pretty plausible prequel to the good old Planet of [...]

The Muppets movie opens today and my whole family recommends it. Both my Tween boys asked to see it and laughed their butts off. The Muppets movie recalls the Muppet Show and other Muppet movies from back in the 70s and 80s and brings back the format with gusto. There’s a road trip, there are [...]

The family that laughs heartily together, stays together. Or at least they have a lot of fun together. My family just had the biggest collective laugh in a long time watching the Uber-Giant-Mega-Shark jumping out of the ocean and nearly capsizing a battleship. Yes, a battleship. I have no idea whether Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus garnered anyone [...]

The Help is a very well-made movie, with serious themes, fantastic production value, and amazing performances by terrific actresses. I laughed and cried and felt moved by the story. And it’s the Summer. Normally the summer is when I see movies about giant alien machines run amok, or giant aliens run amok, or small, animated [...]
