Ironman 3 is NONSTOP action from beginning to end And that’s a good thing. Have you seen Ironman 1 & 2? I mentioned Sunday that I’ve seen Ironman 1 (a couple of times actually) but seeing it on morphine doesn’t really count (apparently I didn’t remember it anyway.) So after we screened Ironman 3 last week, I felt it inside [...]

Disneynature’s Wings of Life It never ceases to amaze me the artistry behind the Disneynature films. I’ve heard that getting just one single shot can take months, but to string an entire movie’s worth of these beautifully captured shots together? It seems like that would take years and years. And a LOT of patience. From the makers of Chimpanzee comes [...]

Like Sleeping With the Enemy. But Way Better. And With Less Hair. I screened “Safe Haven” last week with my mom before all the shenanigans of the week. Whenever I go to a screening, I take my notebook and I take notes throughout the film and most times I write pages and pages of notes. This time however, I took [...]

Wreck-It Ralph is Retro, Candy-Coated Fun. Disney Animation Studios’ newest adventure Wreck-It Ralph hits theaters today (11/2) and (excuse the pun I just can’t help myself) IT’S A SWEET RIDE! I mentioned already that I’ve been looking forward to Wreck-It Ralph for a year now and boy was it worth the wait.  Wreck-It Ralph: The Plot Wreck-It Ralph is about a [...]

Frankenweenie Resurrected from the 1984 Short is Classic Tim Burton Tim Burton is back just in time for Halloween with “Frankenweenie,” a heart-warming, slightly dark, definitely odd, stop motion film about a classic theme: a boy and his dog. Presented by Disney, Frankenweenie centers around the intelligent, soft-spoken introvert named Victor (Charlie Tahan) and his beloved terrier “Sparky.” When Sparky [...]

We Get to Visit 42 WALLABY WAY SYDNEY Again, YAY! If you have children and love Disney movies like we do, then you’ve probably seen Disney Pixar’s Finding Nemo 584,293 times already. But I ask you, how many times have you actually sat through the entire movie start to finish? That was a treat for especially me – I never [...]

The Odd Life of Timothy Green Gives Me the Warm and Fuzzies. The Odd Life of Timothy Green starring Jennifer Garner, CJ Adams, and Joel Edgerton comes out today and when I think about the movie, one word comes to mind: sweet.  Actually no, it’s “Disney sweet.” (So two words.) The Plot Written and Directed by Acadamy Award nominee Peter Hedges (“What’s [...]

There are a lot of movies coming out this weekend, but none of them are quite as Oscar-worthy as this one, in my humble opinion. Dreamworks’ “People Like Us” starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Chris Pine, & Elizabeth Banks, hit theaters yesterday (Friday, June 29). It’s a perfect combination of  heartwarming and dysfunction and it truly is a must-see. Plot Sam (Chris [...]

When I first mentioned to my boys that we were gonna see Disney Pixar’s “Brave,” they whined. “But Mommmmmmmmm… it’s a girl movie!!!” Because they see a princess with beautiful red flowy locks and they automatically think it’s a child chick flick. Not so, my tiny little child friends. Not so at all. The Plot Merida (Kelly Macdonald), a fiery [...]

 I have one word for the latest superhero flick to grace the big screen and it’s this: IMAX. I am a superhero person (you know I have a natural affection for capes and all — oh yes, I do love me a good superhero or six), but honestly I’m not really a superhero movie type-a gal. Marvel’s The Avengers, however, [...]
