The Princess and the Frog
I finally had the chance (i.e. excuse) to see this movie when my 10-year-old niece decided she wanted to see it for a second time. After all, there’s just something…
Sherlock Holmes
If you go to Sherlock Holmes expecting anything resembling Basil Rathbone or any other incarnation of the staid Sherlock Holmes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books, you'll be happily surprised…
Invictus
Two questions come to mind when you watch Clint Eastwood's new feel good movie Invictus. Did rugby really make that big a difference in race relations in South Africa? And…

Julie & Julia
Meryl Streep has channeled Julia Child. She is marvelous. I love her. Like Julia, I love food and I love cooking, so this movie spoke to me, though I am…
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
At two hours and thirty-three minutes in running length, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince could easily grow tiresome. But somehow, I was surprised when it ended. That is…
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
My six-year old co-critic and I are agreeing to disagree on this one. He gives it an enthusiastic thumbs up. Me, not so much. Don’t get me wrong; I am…
The Downside of UP
"Up" is a great movie. Good script. Good characters/voices. And a heartwarming story that strives to teach us all (at every age) that life is a series of adventures, big…
