Alice’s Hook-like return to Underland.. ehm.. Wonderland is more like Tim Burton experimenting what it’d be like if he was Lewis Caroll and Caroll’s creation never existed in the first place because to be honest I’m not sure if… Read the rest of this entry »

ALICE IN WONDERLAND Review

PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF Review
On February - 14 - 2010
I didn’t read the Rick Riordan book so I’m not able nor will I try to make any sort of comparison but the movie itself is a big disappointment. PERCY JACKSON is to director Chris Columbus what Vampire’s Assistant was to Paul Weitz. These are two filmmakers who are… Read the rest of this entry »
TOOTH FAIRY Review
On January - 24 - 2010
What are we gonna do with Dwayne Johnson? Seriously, the man is fit enough to destroy a robot with a single fist to the face but he’s too busy entertaining kids, not that I’m against family movies but after The Game Plane and Race To Witch Mountain and Planet 51, you would think he’d shift gears again. If you have kids,… Read the rest of this entry »
THE SPY NEXT DOOR Review
On January - 15 - 2010
THE SPY NEXT DOOR is not Jackie Chan’s finest gig, but it’s not his worst either. You gotta watch this movie with a family friendly, kid-happy mindset otherwise… Read the rest of this entry »
ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKQUEL Review
On December - 25 - 2009
As a fan of Alvin And The Chipmunks the cartoon series, I say the squeakquel has its moments but could be better, on the other hand if the kids enjoy it, then isn’t that what matters?! I’d start trashing this film only… Read the rest of this entry »
THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG Review
On December - 11 - 2009
Are you ready? Disney’s hand-drawn animation is back in all its glory! The makers of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid prove to the world that they’ve still got it. THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG is irresistible, very funny and a bag of bayou magic. Dance your way to… Read the rest of this entry »
PLANET 51 Review
On November - 22 - 2009
Hearing just Dwayne Johnson’s voice in a family movie is surprisingly more tolerable than seeing his actual presence in a family movie. PLANET 51 may not be original, in fact,… Read the rest of this entry »
FANTASTIC Mr. FOX Review
On November - 15 - 2009
I’ve never read the Roald Dahl’s classic book that this claymation is based on but I must say, FANTASTIC Mr. FOX is the fist Wes Anderson’s movie I enjoy without having to try too hard to get inside Anderson’s head. His movies usually are what I’d considered to be oddballs (Life Aquatic, Royal Tenenbaums), his comedy is usually thin and often times you’d have to dig deeper to reach the story’s profundity about life but… Read the rest of this entry »
A CHRISTMAS CAROL Review
On November - 6 - 2009
Third time’s the charm! After experimenting with The Polar Express and Beowulf, Robert Zemeckis has finally made performance capture technology to work just right for himself and for us the audience. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a… Read the rest of this entry »
ASTRO BOY Review
On October - 25 - 2009
ASTRO BOY is Pinocchio with a butt gun. It’s an exciting action-packed family film but at the same time, it’s also cliche and rip-off of other better movies in the past that have had similar themes. For an adaptation, writer/director David Bowers doesn’t put… Read the rest of this entry »
