Trouble With The Curve contains a lot of elements we’ve seen before: parent/child estrangement; a quirky romance; an older employee who is made to look over-the-hill; time honored methods vs. new technological advances – in short, there’s nothing much about the movie we haven’t seen in one form or another, many, many times. But sometimes, […]

Trailer: 42–The Jackie Robinson Story!
There are moments in history that can generate pride in an entire race, country or creed. Jackie Robinson provided a good many of those moments. It looks like this movie will honor them – and him.
Hot Trailer: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
With all the foofaraw over Peter Jackson’s decision to turn The Hobbit into a trilogy, it’s important to note that… this trailer rocks its tuchus off!
Oscars® Process Tweaked–We Get Five More Days To Check Out Nominated Films!
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC have announced a wee bit of tweaking to the key dates in the process of arriving at the annual awards presentation.

Frankenweenie–It’s Alive! It’s Alive!
While the trailers for Frankenweenie have been terrific, and all the press releases for it have noted that it’s a very personal project for Tim Burton, I think it will take seeing this making of featurette to really drive home how important the film is to him. Various cast and crew – including Martin Landau, […]
Finding Nemo 3D: Classic Movie Really Doesn’t Need Partially Effective 3D To Be Great!
Finding Nemo is on the top five Pixar movies, which means it is already a bona fide classic in 2D. With this weekend’s re-release in 3D, it doesn’t really get all that much better because the 3D is only intermittently effective – though when it is, it’s really, really effective.

The Words: Intriguing Technically But Annoyingly Predictable!
This is what I know from personal experience: a great, or even good movie can transcend pain; a mediocre one will have no effect, and a bad one will just make things worse. I went into The Words hoping for a distraction from a sore back; it just made things worse.
Trailer: Monsters, Inc. 3D!
It’s a big week for cool trailers and the first one for the holiday re-release of Monsters, Inc. in 3D is no exception. The funniest (and scariest) thing about it is that it plays like a collection of best moments from the film – but it barely scratches the surface! Which, of course, is why […]
Trailer: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters!
Even knowing the premise, this is not what I was expecting. That’s a good sign…
