The Trouble With Doctor Dolittle
Dolittle is Robert Downey Jr.’s first movie to be released after his triumphant turn as Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame. (C’mon, Academy. Don’t let me down. Nominate him!) Unfortunately, the trailer looks less than stellar. In fact, Hollywood doesn’t have the best record when it comes to adaptations of Hugh Lofting’s children’s book character who…

Who played Alan Parrish in Jumanji?
Robin Williams played the older version of Alan Parrish, the boy who had been stuck in the game for 26 years. Adam Hann-Byrd played the young version of Alan Parrish. Little needs be said about the iconic Robin Williams. He graced the screen in over 100 movies/shows and won an Oscar and numerous other awards…

Movie Review – Playmobil: The Movie
I’m thinking the little tykes from ages 2 to 6 will enjoy this movie. My great granddaughter, age 6, has been an avid watcher of the Playmobil videos on YouTube for several years. I honestly think children older than 7 or 8 will be bored with this simple animated film. I found the movie irritating,…

Movie Review – Frozen 2
Obviously, I’m not grading this movie based on how well I personally enjoyed it. I, a 52 year old man, live in a galaxy far, far, away from the target audience of pre-teen girls. I’m confident that the aforementioned young girls will be delighted with every moment of the movie. In particular, I think my…

Movie Review – Playing with Fire
I give high marks to this movie for the recognition it gives to the first responders out there risking their lives for us. And to show our younger generation that not all heroes wear spandex. Playing with Fire itself is a decent movie. I think the target audience is the kiddies between six and twelve…

Movie Review – Arctic Dogs
—
I just saw a headline that questioned if a child under five should see Arctic Dogs, due to rude humor and lots of action. My question is; would children over five want to see this film? It’s not a boring movie by any means. I truly enjoyed it, but it seems that the generation, of…

First View Movie Review – The Princess and the Frog
—
The Princess and the Frog is a suitably good and modern take on the “Princess” theme, with a jazzy little soundtrack and some true comedic moments. But is it moving? Inspiring? Maybe. Tiana, the Princess in question, is a good role model, with a solid work ethic. Which makes me think…Tiana has a job.…
