A good feel-good movie with a star-studded cast. Talks about forgiveness and second chances in a positive way, although all these types of movies tend to be a bit cliche’. Still, it makes for an entertaining experience with a positive message.

Not very impressed with this movie, although in its time I’m sure the book series, “The Adventures of Tintin” was very good literature for boys and probably girls too. Its just that this type of literature seems a bit out of place today as a movie, or maybe it was just the way it was […]

Inspiring story of a horse and a young man as they deal with hardship and tragedy. Very good family values, especially about learning to understand the “demons” that haunt our parents and discovering the quiet heroism of our parents in spite of their weaknesses and limitations. The boy’s father suffers from occasional alcoholism and general […]

I really recommend this movie. I thought it would be a very nice family comedy, which would be good enough in itself, but it is much more than that. It is a beautiful movie about loss and finding a way to move on. Matt Damon and the other actors and actresses (including new teen star […]

Tom Cruise and friends make another exciting installment of the Mission Impossible series. As usual, the movie has incredible chase scenes, suspense, explosions, and adventure that all make a really exciting experience. An evil scientist wants to start a nuclear war, and the Mission Impossible team is framed as the ones who are guilty. They […]

Robert Downey Jr. is as entertaining as ever playing the hyperintelligent, hyperactive hero to perfection in this second installment of the Sherlocke Holmes adaptation. Plenty of action, explosions, intrigue, humor, and adventure to keep you going the length of the movie. The on-going banter about the pros and cons of marriage (Dr. Watson is getting […]

Oh, what joy! The Muppets are back! For us old guys who grew up watching the muppets, it’s like life is worth living again! They are just as hilarious as always, although the dance scene with humans at the beginning of the movie is not that great… Still, if you can sit through that part […]

Fun cartoon movie, with lots of hilarious dancing and a message about family and about finding your value as a person (well, penguin, really, but it’s meant as a lesson for human beings…). I liked Arthur Christmas better than Happy Feet 2, but maybe it’s just me. Still, it’s fun.

Martin Scorzese is always an amazing movie maker. This is his first try at a story for children, although in the past he has done movies for adults about children (Empire of the Sun, if I am not mistaken). Teenagers will like this movie, not just children. It’s about a boy who lives alone in […]
