The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, A Journey worth Taking! Michelle’s Review!!
By all rights I should hate the world of Narnia, it features several elements that I generally don’t like in my movies – cutesy kids, blatant religious overtones and allegories, Tilda Swinton, talking animals and did I mention Tilda Swinton? But somehow all of these elements work, the first movie was beautiful to look at […]
Depp & Jolie Play Grant & Hepburn in The Tourist!
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s first film, the claustrophobic The Lives of Others, won the Oscar® for Best Foreign Language Film. For only his second full-length feature, he’s chosen to do a big budget Hollywood film. Not just any old Hollywood caper/thriller/romance. No, he has taken on The Tourist, based on the French film, Anthony Zimmer. […]
First Look: Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon!
Maybe it’s just me, but I get the feeling that 3-D was made expressly for Michael Bay movies…

Michelle Kind of Likes Tangled!
Tangled is a strange animal. It wants to be a modern animated film with all of the modern trappings but it’s also Disney’s 50th Animated film, so it has to show both sides of the mouse house – it’s roots as an innovative in animation and wholesome good fun, while also showing us that Disney […]
Tangled: Disney’s Fairytale Toon Is Good Fun – Nothing More, Nothing Less!
The story of Rapunzel – considerably changed to make it appealing to a wide demographic – is the subject of Tangled, the latest CG/animated feature from Disney. Basically, it keeps the girl, the hair and the tower and changes most everything else. It is a bright, energetic, cheerful film that entertains without doing much else.
Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 Puts Harry, Hermione & Ron To The Test!
Going in, everyone knew that Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 would be the longest prologue in film history. Most of the really important action takes place in the war that consumes most of the second half of the book. Fortunately, Writer Steve Kloves and director David Yates understand that there’s a more […]
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Disappoints Michelle!
Sometimes being a “critic” sucks. It forces you to over analyze movies instead of sitting back and just enjoying them. When I walked out of the theater after seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I ran into a fellow critic and asked him what he thought, he was noncommittal but said he liked it, […]
