Review: I Am Number Four (2011)
Posted On 18 Feb 2011 By Bartleby. Under 2 Stars (Mediocre), 2011, Action, Action-Adventure, Family/Kids, Fantasy, Science Fiction.
Three is dead. I am Number 4. I'm also cliched, maudlin and moderately fun if you don't think too hard about me. And if you have never read a sci-fi novel before, I might just be breathtakingly original.

Movie Review: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)

Michael Apted takes over the third installment of the Narnia Chronicles, but does 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' result in family movie magic?

Throwback Tuesday: Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
Posted On 23 Nov 2010 By Heather. Under 1993, 4 Stars (Phenomenal), Comedy, Family/Kids, Reviews, Throwback Tuesday.
This is one of the best family movies to come around, essentially ever. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. Mrs. Doubtfire should be owned by just about everyone.

Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga’Hoole (2010)
Posted On 04 Oct 2010 By Heather. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2010, Action, Action-Adventure, Animated, Family/Kids, Fantasy, Reviews.
Was Guardians an animated action epic or another piece of “G” rated repetition lacking original thought or execution? A little bit of both.

DVD/Blu-ray Review: Diary of A Wimpy Kid (2010)
The wonderfully refreshing thing about Thor Freudenthal’s Diary of A Wimpy Kid is it that it knows exactly where it wants to go, which is of course, exactly opposite of the middle school experience.

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.

Review: Ramona and Beezus (2010)
Posted On 23 Jul 2010 By Bartleby. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2010, Comedy, Drama, Family/Kids, Reviews.
Based on the beloved children's books by Beverly Cleary, Ramona and Beezus is much like its pint sized heroine, scatter-brained, boisterous and effortlessly adorable.

Review: A Town Called Panic (2009)
Posted On 21 Jul 2010 By Jonathan Sullivan. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2009, Action-Adventure, Animated, Comedy, Family/Kids, Foreign, Reviews.
Imported from Belgium, A Town Called Panic is 75 minutes of utter animated insanity where nothing makes sense and things happen seemingly at random. In other words, it's like watching a kid make things up on the fly. Either that appeals to you or you wanna run far far away.

Review: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010)
Posted On 14 Jul 2010 By Bartleby. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2010, Action-Adventure, Family/Kids, Fantasy, Reviews.
Although not as enchanting as its namesake, The Sorcerer's Apprentice conjures a cheerful throwback to live-action Disney of the '80s.
