Flipped DVD Giveaway
Never heard of Flipped? That's probably because it got a bit lost in the sea of summer sensory-overload movies. It's a nice, sweet, simple film reminiscent of The Wonder Years…
Megamind
Megamind is megafun – for both kids and adults. I took my “seven-year-old excuse to go see animated movies” and both he and I laughed out loud at parts. He…
Secretariat
Secretariat is good, solid family fare from the company that knows the genre well - Disney. It’s a sweet, simple, root-for-the-underdog message movie that manages to maintain some level of…
Flipped
Meathead makes some pretty good movies, and while I didn’t completely “flip” over Flipped, I definitely did like it. Director Rob Reiner delivers a sweet, simple, yet entertaining movie that…
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (3D)

Robin Hood
No men in tights here. No borrowing from the rich to give to the poor either. This new Robin Hood is Ridley Scott's prequel to all that. We first meet…
Babies
“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…
