“Oh how cute!” That’s what I found myself saying out loud in the theater throughout the documentary Babies. (I’d apologize to those sitting around me if they weren’t all doing the same thing.) The film follows four infants from four different parts of the world “from first breath to first step.” It’s like a nature …

Garry Marshall is brilliant. He made a mildly entertaining movie with an A-List cast and a name that virtually guarantees it a place in holiday rerun history. Valentine’s Day is like Crash-light. Really, really, really light. It follows a bunch of folks whose lives intersect in various ways as they break up, make up, find …

New Moon is a guilty pleasure for fans of the Twilight series. It starts off a bit slow, but eventually sucks you in (yes, pun intended). I actually liked it better than the first installment, which managed to make over 300 million dollars despite being a pretty bad movie. So my guess is that the …

(Updated Note: I just found out to what extent the movie ending is different from the book ending, and I must say, I’m disappointed that the producers/directors/writers didn’t stay faithful to the book. It would have made for a much more powerful movie overall. – Mainstream Chick)
I was teary-eyed throughout most of this movie, which …

This weekend, a chick flick took over the top spot at the box office for the first time since… when was the last big chick flick? I think it says something about the way Hollywood makes movies. The summer is full of things for the boys, but seems to think that one chick …

The Proposal is the kind of movie you can take your mother to. In fact, I did, and we both enjoyed it. A pretty standard romantic comedy, it was a fun diversion on a rainy day.
Sandra Bullock plays a high-strung, tyrannical book editor in Manhattan who is about to be deported to her native Canada. …
