The stories and characters that he creates captures the audience’s attention and allows them to escape reality for a little while. Some of his recent […]

Going into a film like Happy Feet Two, you pretty much know what you can expect. It is not uncommon for sequels to kid’s animated movies to be lackluster in comparison to their predecessors, and in this case that is exactly what this film does.

I can see it now.  Two nerds sitting at home on the couch, and they just finished Rob Zombie’s horrible sequel Halloween 2.  Obviously their first thought when the film concludes is, “we can make a better horror film than that”.  Then they realize that they have neither the money nor the clout to make […]

9

Posted: September 9, 2009 at 12:25 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews
