The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn–Nathan’s Take
Posted On 23 Dec 2011 By Bartleby. Under 2011, 3.5 Stars (Exceptional), Action, Action-Adventure, Animated, Comedy, Family/Kids.
Mobsters Rating: With the dual releases of ‘War Horse’ and ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn’, the Spielberg I remember from my youth returns to the big screen. Both films have a kind of wide-eyed wonder and narrative simplicity that serves to make them feel like matinee ... Read More

Mobsters Rating: There’s almost nothing of the Shrek films in Dreamworks new spin-off, Puss in Boots. Since that franchise has long since devolved into easy pop culture—and poop culture—references, this is a decidedly good thing. Puss surprises by being a much better movie than any of the Shrek films; a frothy, ... Read More

Mobsters Rating: ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’ is the kind of movie that gives sequels a good name. Helmed by first time director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, the new installment isn’t a simple rehash, but makes good on the promises of the original and pushes the franchise to new heights. Not pausing to recap, ... Read More

Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga’Hoole (2010)

Scott Pilgrim VS the World is an absurd, visual upper-cut of a film.. The experience of watching it is like ingesting a bag of candy corn through your retinas.

DVD Review: Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)
Posted On 28 Jul 2010 By Bartleby. Under 2010, 3 Stars (Fantastic), Action, Action-Adventure, Animated, Crime, Family/Kids, Fantasy, Reviews.
Batman: Under the Red Hood maybe animated, but it's as thrilling as any live-action. This installment is far more Dark Knight than Adam West.
