I’m always rooting for a new Disney animated feature, and “Wreck-It Ralph” gave me a lot to cheer for: a fresh concept and clever execution to match it. Rich Moore has directed this feature with a sharp eye, but winning over both hearts and minds is a tall order, and that’s exactly what the film… Continue reading Review: ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ draws in all crowds

If you had not planned on going to see “Pitch Perfect,” perhaps you should change your plans. It is by far one of the most entertaining and hilarious movies I have seen in quite some time.

Now that we’ve gotten rid of that blight on the planet, let’s talk about “Dredd.” Fans of the fringe comic book series Judge Dredd will tell you, the 1995 film… Continue reading Review: ‘Dredd’ succeeds

“Dredd” doesn’t seem to be anything that it promises and yet isn’t wholly terrible. Set in the future where law enforcement officers are judge, jury and executioner all rolled into one, it’s difficult to pin down what the filmmakers were aiming for. Contrary to what the commercials and promos would suggest about the plot, it’s… Continue reading Review: ‘Dredd’ falls short
