Films like Ponyo are a nostalgic treat. It’s an odd feeling to experience but it was a joyous occasion to not have to sit through another over-polished DreamWorks or Pixar production. There is no doubt that both companies have achieved a mammoth amount of success and critical hit after critical hit (specifically Pixar ). They [...]
Calling Old Dogs utterly unbearable may be the understatement of the year alongside “healthcare needs an overhaul.” A family comedy by genre only, this John Travolta and Robin Williams vehicle is so maligned, mismanaged and other “M” words, that a point is reached in the movie where audiences are forced to ask, “Wait, is this [...]
Robert De Niro has gone from tough guy to big ol’ softie the past decade. From a deranged cabbie, a boxer and take-no-guff wise-guys, De Niro has played some of film’s most iconic characters.

Amelia would appear to be, on the surface at least, another biopic destined for award buzz. It isn’t. Instead, this aviation movie from director Mira Nair, based on the book East To The Dawn: The Life of Amelia Earhart by Susan Butler, is a shockingly boring and sadly conventional film. I’d use the cliché “paint-by-numbers,” [...]
Ellen Page doesn’t break the iron-clad type-casted grip that seems to be holding her in smart-ass alt-teen roles. From her under-appreciated Hard Candy to the over-hyped Juno and the abysmal Smart People, the channeling of her “I’m too cool for the room” type of gal is as keen as ever. It should be; that’s all [...]
Another day, another Disney reissue. Yet this time around, it’s not just a simple DVD reissue with Disney FastPlay being the only new addition. The good people at Buena Vista have now included a whistle with Air Bud emblazoned across it for the release of Air Bud: Golden Receiver. But as they say on QVC, [...]
