Day & Night
Great 66 Points 2010

Day & Night cleverly combined 2 and 3D animation, breaking new ground in the process. It presented cartoon characters of Day and of Night in a 2D foreground plane, while the world of daytime and the world of nighttime are visible in 3D space behind them. It all works magnificently well on scr…

Good 83 Points 2010

Disappointing summer blockbuster, thy name is Prince of Persia. Not a complete flame-out, this video game come to the silver screen nonetheless proves convoluted, silly and forgettable. On the plus side, Jake and Gemma have charisma and more than a bit of chemistry together, the well burnishe…

Toy Story 3
Perfect 92 Points 2010

Flawless. Silly, deep, wonderful and wise, TS3 pegs the perfection meter. Boing!! Purple, purple, purple. Every toy gets its due, every heart string gets plucked, every joke works. Wow, how does Pixar keep doing this? They’re the Jacksons – the Phil Jacksons – of movie making.

TS3 gi…

Great 88 Points 2011

Popcorn movies should all be this strong. Channeling Indiana Jones’ 1940s movie tropes, Marvel’s First Avenger proves engaging from the outset, exciting from the middle and exhilarating to the end.

Notwithstanding a pair of underwhelming leads, the overall strong cast, irony-free patriotism …

War Horse
Great 83 Points 2011

Stephen Spielberg’s War Horse is an instant classic in several categories:

  • War Movies: WWI’s trench warfare, poison gas and mismatch between pre-industrial and industrial warfare are vividly shown, albeit without the explicit savagery of Saving Private Ryan

Hugo
Great 93 Points 2011

Martin Scorsese does a kid’s movie, delivering a film history lesson wrapped in a Parisian postcard. Glorious visuals, affecting performances and deft filmmaking flourishes make it a treat for kids of all ages.

The fable of Hugo Cabret imagines an orphan boy who lives in the walls of a stor…

Paranormal Acti...
Barely OK 17 Points 2012

Ok, so Paranormal is one of those “boo movie” franchises that just won’t quit, even long after it should have. When I went, many of the seats were occupied by middle-schoolers who wouldn’t stop talking and screaming. Just like them, I knew what was going to happen before it happened; but i…

Jack the Giant ...
Good 17 Points 2013

A new twist on Jack serves as the vehicle to kick in the 3D action for the family. Unlike movies like ‘Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunders’, Jack stays a little truer to its fairly-tale roots, including a love story where the humble Jack goes for the seemingly out of reach princess. Within the c…
