It may not be much of a surprise, but my favorite movie of all time is The Incredibles. I have waited anxiously for the sequel and after viewing it over the weekend with my teenage kids, I was not disappointed. If you don’t count the Toy Story movies (all three are so brilliant, 2 andContinue reading “The Incredibles 2 – My Review”

BFG is Big and Friendly
The new movie, BFG (Big Friendly Giant), has disappointed in ticket sales so far, but in the “great movie” department, it’s a huge success. I took my 13 year old daughter to see it this past weekend and we both had nothing but good things to say about it. The story, adapted from a much beloved bookContinue reading “BFG is Big and Friendly”
Summer Movies For Kids
This is my list of summer 2015 movies that have great promise of being well-made entertaining movies AND appropriate for kids (some are for older kids, maybe 12 and up). These are the ones I’m personally looking forward to. I plan to see every one of these eventually, but the two that have me about toContinue reading “Summer Movies For Kids”
Guardians, Not The Same As Avengers
The new movie, Guardians of the Galaxy is about a group of heroes, adapted from a Marvel comic book series, much like another group of heroes from Marvel Comics, The Avengers. I have yet to see Guardians, but it’s receiving high praise from critics with a 91% at rottentomatoes.com. For the sake of comparison, The Avengers receivedContinue reading “Guardians, Not The Same As Avengers”
Earth To Echo & Maze Runner
Two New Movies for Young Sci-Fi Fans, Coming Soon! EARTH TO ECHO Coming out July 2nd. This one is exciting to me because it’s a rare science fiction movie that’s actually rated PG.

Amazing Spider-Man 2
The summer of 2014 has officially begun with the opening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, in theaters everywhere this weekend.

In the area of morality and appropriateness for younger audiences, I’m giving it a definiteContinue reading “Amazing Spider-Man 2”

MALEFICENT New Trailer
It’s no secret that the villain often turns out more interesting than the hero. So, it makes perfect sense to re-tell a beloved fairy tale from the villain’s point of view. Insert an A-list actress and the best in make-up, computer graphics, and special effects and you should be well on your way to aContinue reading “MALEFICENT New Trailer”
Earth To Echo – First Look
Earth To Echo will arrive in theaters this July 4th weekend. Today was the first time I’ve heard of this movie. Judging from the trailer and some of the buzz I’m seeing on movie sites, it could be really good. It looks like it’s an alien-come-to-earth movie in the vein of E.T. and Super 8,Continue reading “Earth To Echo – First Look”
