The Princess and the Frog

Posted: December 11, 2009 at 12:01 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

The Princess and the Frog isn’t a return to the brilliant early 90’s heyday of Disney Animation, but it is for sure a huge step in the right direction. Twisting the classic tale of The Frog Princess on its head this version of the classic fairytale has the “princess” turn into a frog when she […]

Spielberg no longer directing ‘Harvey’

Posted: December 4, 2009 at 11:49 am   /   Local, Movie News

A little disappointing. I was looking forward to Spielberg’s take on the remake of the 1950 Jimmy Stewart film. Although you can’t blame any high profile actor for not wanting to take the part. I don’t think it ever pays off to take a role what was done perfectly by an actor before, especially one […]

Hugh Jackman heads up ‘Real Steel’

Posted: November 24, 2009 at 1:14 pm   /   Local, Movie News

Sure, I wasn’t a fan of his semi-blockbuster over the summer, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I do like Hugh Jackman though. He’s a very charismatic actor, and I feel he is good at what he does. The story about him buying breakfast for X-Men fans waiting in line for his new film endeared him to me […]

A Christmas Carol

Posted: November 6, 2009 at 12:03 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Robert Zemeckis’ third foray into the 3-D motion capture world is a retelling of the classic A Christmas Carol and the results are a beautiful and well executed version of the classic tale that could easily become many peoples “go to” version of the fateful night of Ebenezer Scrooge. The tale of Scrooge doesn’t really […]

Now is a great time to pre-order some of the movies coming out on Blu-ray this holiday season. Prices on Blu-ray movies have gone down overall, which is excellent. I can’t believe some of the deals that Amazon has on new releases coming out over the next month or so! If you are planning on […]

Ryan Reynolds Cross-dressing for New Role

Posted: October 16, 2009 at 1:50 pm   /   Local, Movie News

Can you blame him? Hollywood apparently loves actors who are willing to get their hands dirty with a little cross-dressing. Hillary Swank won an Academy Award for it. Robin Williams (Mrs. Doubtfire), Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie), Tom Hanks (Bosom Buddies), Wayans Brothers (White Chicks), are all actors who have switched gender roles for a film, and […]

First Five Minutes of Disney’s ‘The Princess and the Frog’

Posted: October 6, 2009 at 9:54 am   /   Local, Movie News

Well here you go folks, the first five minutes of the return to traditional animation by Disney. There is some unfinished animation, but this clip has really piqued my interest in the project. As much as I love the detail, and substantial look of CG animation, it has become wholly overused. I still remember being […]

Toy Story 3D Double Feature

Posted: October 2, 2009 at 5:13 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

I am desperately trying to think of what to say about the Toy Story movies that hasn’t already been said a million times.  It is one of the most beloved animated series ever created, and it launched a new animation house at the time, Pixar. Since Toy Story launched in 1995, Pixar has done 10 […]

Fantastic Four to be Rebooted

Posted: September 1, 2009 at 9:22 am   /   Local, Movie News

The first two films of that Fantastic Four franchise did decent business, but they weren’t the blockbuster that Spider-man was. Although Fantastic 4 has never been as popular of a comic as Spider-man has been. Sure there is appeal there, but not as much as the high flying web-slinger. So it makes me wonder why […]
