When the Real Steel Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo first arrived for me to review, my initial thought was, “great, a movie about Rock ‘Em, Rock ‘Em Robots! Just what the world has always needed.” It turned out that it was actually more like one of my favorite episodes of the Twilight Zone. My pre-conceived notions about
Oh Captain! My Captain! Unlike Good Morning, Vietnam, I actually knew more about Dead Poets Society than this famous line. Dead Poets Society has long held a spot on my list of top films. Dead Poets Society centers around Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke) beginning his first year at a prestigious Welton Academy in 1959 Vermont
Goooooooooooooooooooood Moooor-ning, Viet-naaaaaam! Thanks to a few too many trips into the movies aboard the Great Movie Ride, Good Morning, Vietnam is probably the movie I quote the most despite never having seen. Suffice to say, after quoting that line for so many years, I was quite pleased to finally pop in the Good Morning,
Everything after this sentence of this review is superfluous: this is one of the best Walt Disney World books on the market, and given its size, photo quality, and low price, any Walt Disney World fan would be a fool not to purchase it. Head over to Amazon right now where it sells for $20
Think of it as a precursor to Soarin’ Over California. Now, at twenty years old, The Rocketeer: 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray actually looks better than Soarin! The Rocketeer debuted in theaters in 1991 (hence this being the film’s 20th anniversary), when I was the ripe old age of six. I remember being really excited about
Disney Universe allows players to suit-up for action as some 40-different Disney characters including characters from TRON and Pixar films! The concept of the game is pretty simple, as it’s basically a good versus evil platform-explorer game. Disney Universe’s interactive environments are computerized versions of some familiar worlds from Disney animated (and a few live
The term “instant classic” gets thrown around fairly recklessly, but in the case of Disney’s Prep & Landing, I think it safely describes the CG animated-special’s place among Christmas favorites. When our review copy showed up, I was so excited to see this special again that I watched the DVD all the way through (special
This movie is nothing compared to the original. If you’re the type who appreciates the art of hand-drawn animation, this movie is not for you. The story is dumbed-down, the animation is sub-par, and there are several portions that seem like cheap attempts to draw laughs from kids. That said, not everything is targeted at
Need help shopping for that Disney fan in your life? As people who love to buy things, we’re here to help! In recent years, we’ve switched almost exclusively to online shopping. Well, I have. Sarah still likes B&M stores for clothing, but I think it’s more difficult to purchase women’s clothing without trying it on.
Kinect Disneyland Adventures came out yesterday, November 15, 2011, and initial reviews are fairly positive. We received our copy yesterday, and although we had only a few minutes to play (darn you, packing!) after finally getting the game set-up, it seems solid. We will have a full review next week, but for now, here
Jaws 3. Jurassic Park 3. Rambo 3. Heck, even Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Usually, the third installment in a film trilogy is where the wheels fall off. Where movie studios that want to capitalize on the success of a great first film, and possibly a deserving sequel, get greedy and want to cash-in on
