Release Date: January 24th, 2012
A movie about boxing robots sounds like something that would come from the director of the Night at the Museum films, doesn’t it? It may seem incredibly corny, and the script is indeed filled with…
Dolphin Tale
Release Date: December 20th, 2011
Hollywood loves stories about children making friends with sea mammals. Here’s the latest installment, Dolphin Tale, a heartwarming, sometimes hokey, but serviceable family film about a young boy’s fight to save an injured dolphin. The…
Cars 2
Release Date: November 1st, 2011
Of all the Pixar franchises to make a sequel out of, they had to choose Cars. Why? I have no idea. I’m not saying the original was bad—on the contrary, it was really rather good,…
Prom
Release Date: August 30th, 2011
I’m not going to lie: it wasn’t easy. How exactly is a young, cynical guy, just starting college, with an exquisite taste in movies (if I do say so myself) supposed to write an unbiased,…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Release Date: April 15th, 2011
I’m not a fan of Harry Potter. I haven’t watched the films, haven’t read the novels, I haven’t tasted the foul labeled jellybeans gracing the counter at my favorite bookstore, and I don’t understand the…

Tangled
Release Date: March 29th, 2011

Yogi Bear
Release Date: March 22nd, 2011
It’s common these days to see films based on franchises or licenses that already have a built in audience. It’s called padding your bottom line and to investors, nothing is safer than putting your money…
You Again
Release Date: February 8th, 2011
You Again could more aptly have been titled This Story Again? We’ve all seen this film before so the main question that a potential viewer has to ask themselves is if they want to see…
Life As We Know It
Release Date: February 8th, 2011
I’m not sure why this movie didn’t get noticed more while it was in theaters. Even I, who had seen and loved the movie, forgot about it almost as soon as we had posted our…
