This Is (And Isn’t) Your Grandma’s Peter Rabbit!
When I came out of an advance screening for Peter Rabbit I would have gladly paid to see it again right away. The hybrid film (live-action/CGI) features a mostly CGI cast of animals interacting with human beings in the real world and it’s done so well that you buy in immediately.
Spy: Bond… Melissa Bond!
Melissa McCarthy has shown she can play a character (Saint Vincent, everyone!), which is why Spy is so much fun. In Susan Cooper, CIA super analyst she’s found a character – and a potential franchise – that she can really sink her teeth into. Also, for a spoof to work it must also succeed in […]

X-Men First Class – First Class Movie; Third Class Features!
X-Men: First Class is, for the most part, smart, focused and well thought out. While it deals primarily with the friendship between future enemies Charles Xavier [James McAvoy] and Erik Lensherr [Michael Fassbender] – better known as Professor X and Magneto – it also serves up an unnerving villain and a group of intriguing young […]
Bridesmaids – Two Crap Trailers; One Pretty Darned Funny Movie!
I think I laughed maybe twice over the course of the two trailers for Bridesmaids. Despite this, I decided that I would check out the film for a couple of reasons – the producing directing team of Judd Apatow and Paul Feig, and the combination of Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy. It didn’t […]
