Meet The Robinsons 3D

(Roger Longenbach) 11/11/2011 4:16 PM EST
On November 9, Walt Disney Home Entertainment releases one of Walt Disney Animations made for 3D features, Meet the Robinsons. Rather than being a Pixar release, this movie was made by Walt Disney Animation Studios from an original story. The movie can be summed up with a quote from Walt Disney himself, which appears at the end of the movie,... Read More

Chicken Little 3D

(Roger Longenbach) 11/11/2011 2:22 PM EST
Another in a series of re-releases but this time in Disney Blu-ray 3D comes Chicken Little. Chicken Little has the distinction of being the first full length fully computer generated animated film made completely by Walt Disney Animation Studios and being the first film marketed under the Disney Digital 3D brand. The movie begins with a... Read More

Anonymous

(John Delia) 11/11/2011 1:58 PM EST
I hope the film Anonymous is true because as being a former Theatre (plays) critic it has always intrigued me if William Shakespeare did or didn't write his sonnets and plays. So, being the kind of guy I am and having enjoyed the film so much, it must be very near the truth. Even if this period piece was all contrived, the settings, cos... Read More

Bolt 3D

(Roger Longenbach) 11/10/2011 8:37 AM EST
Bolt is one of those movies that come along where everything aligns at the right time. A usually underrated film, this movie has a soul that will pull at your heartstrings at the end. Bolt is the story of a movie dog that is the star of a popular TV show named after him. Bolt has a uniqueness to him in that all he has known is his... Read More

J. Edgar

(John Delia) 11/09/2011 1:45 PM EST
The interesting and historical J. Edgar has reached local movie theatres with very good performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts and Judi Dench. The film has a few flaws, but it does give a good account of the man who was the first director of the FBI. The film follows the life of J. Edgar Hoover (DiCaprio) the first director of ...

Water for Elephants

(Chris Rebholz) 11/08/2011 8:54 AM EST
There's a great movie to be made about the history of the circus. Water for Elephants strives to be that film, but misses the mark. There is also an intriguing drama to be fashioned out of the rituals and customs of those who've lived their lives under the Big Top. There have always been great romances created out of star-crossed characters... Read More

Tower Heist

(Chris Rebholz) 11/06/2011 8:19 PM EST
Rush Hour's Brett Ratner returns to direct Tower Heist, a lighthearted film with an impressive ensemble cast. Stiller plays the lead Josh, a workaholic manger of ‘The Tower'; a set of elite apartments in New York owned by one Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda). Josh has always looked up to Shaw and the two have something of a friendship they are even ch... Read More

Toy Story 2 3D

(Roger Longenbach) 11/03/2011 9:31 PM EST
Following the success of the first Toy Story movie, Toy Story 2 continues the story of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys. It's been a few years since we last saw the toys – Molly, Andy's sister, is older now, and the puppy we first noticed at the end of the first movie is older. Andy is going away to summer cowboy camp, and... Read More

Toy Story 3D

(Roger Longenbach) 11/03/2011 9:30 PM EST
On November 1, Disney released the original Toy Story on 3D Blu-ray combo pack. There is something about this release that I haven't noticed about most other 3D releases and that is: This movie looks better in 3D than it does on regular Blu-ray. While Toy Story 3 was being made, the team at Pixar re-rendered the first and second movies ... Read More

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas

(John Delia) 11/03/2011 7:33 PM EST
Definitely a man flick A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas follows up on the other two outings with a lot of eye candy and sex, but the gals will get an eye full too. You do not have to have seen the other two flicks, but I bet you will go rent them after seeing this wild comedy; it's as good at The Hangover. Their signature full circle cra... Read More
