How to Train Your Dragon 2 Review
When the sequel to How to Train Your Dragon was released this year (2014), I was skeptical because, in my experience, sequels are rarely as good as the originals. I was hesitant to go see it, positive that I would be disappointed. I couldn’t have been more wrong. How to Train Your Dragon 2 has […]
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Review
An adaption of J.K. Rowling’s first installment of her wildly successful Harry Potter Series, was directed by Chris Columbus (also the director of the other 4 movies.) He had a big job to do, as so many readers loved the book so much there could have been a revolt had he made a disaster of […]
Toy Story Review
When Toy Story was released in 1995, I was nine years old. I insisted that it had been my idea because I wrote a story in school about my toys coming to life when I wasn’t around. I think the idea that their toys have a separate life when they aren’t looking is something a […]
Shrek Review
Shrek is one of those movies that became almost an instant classic, getting rave reviews and millions of fans right from the box office start. With an all-star cast and a compelling storyline for both kids and adults, Shrek will no doubt be a standard in home movie collections. There is enough colorful humor to […]
Despicable Me 2 Movie Review
I was very excited to see Despicable Me 2 when it was released in 2013. I was a huge fan of the first one and had high hopes for the sequel. Once again, Steve Carell was excellent as the voice of Gru, and Kristen Wiig returns this time as the voice of a new character, […]
Finding Nemo Review
Finding Nemo is a movie full of memorable characters and action. This family movie doesn’t follow tradition and it doesn’t take the easy way out. This movie tells a story that can be related to real life … Finding Nemo is about Marlon, a father fish, who, after losing 499 children and his wife to […]
A Bug’s Life Movie Review
When A Bug’s Life was released in 1998, I was twelve years old and still in love with all things Disney. After Toy Story, I was very excited to see another Disney/Pixar joint venture. While I don’t believe this movie is at the same level of greatness as Toy Story, it is still a classic […]
Megamind Movie Review
I saw Megamind in theatres when it was released in 2010. It quickly became one of my favorite animated films. Will Ferrell is excellent as the voice of Megamind, the bumbling super villain who tries to come up with new ways to defeat his enemy, Metro City super hero Metro Man (voiced by Brad Pitt). […]
The Princess and the Frog Movie Review
When I learned that Disney would be releasing an original animation movie in 2009, I was ecstatic. While I enjoy the new styles of animation, nothing beats the sense of nostalgia I feel when watching the original Disney animated movies such as Aladdin and Cinderella. The Princess and the Frog did not disappoint in the […]
Frozen
I am a huge fan of Disney and their movies. My fondest childhood memories are related to Disney movies like Peter Pan and Beauty and the Beast, so I’m excited that my daughter gets to grow up with their newest classics. I must admit, I worried that when Frozen was released in 2013, it wouldn’t […]
