The Princess and the Frog Buy the soundtrack for The Princess and the Frog Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Unfortunately, I had the flu this week and did not want to spread it to a theater rull of children (or anyone, f0r that matter). So we asked Dan’s mother to get the PeeTimes for…

Brothers [ Spoilers ahead ] This really pisses me off. The previews made the story up to be about an affair between a wife and her husband’s brother while the husband is off fighting in Afghanistan. But there wasn’t an affair. It was nothing but a kiss? Just a kiss? The real drama came from…

Old Dogs Buy the soundtrack for Old Dogs Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com I didn’t expect much out of this movie. It seemed to me that I had probably seen everything worth seeing in the previews. Fortunately I was wrong. There were a few good and funny scenes that they saved for us. The…

She’s a fine actress and…

Gamer This movie would certainly have experienced a horrible, bloody, disfiguring death at the box office if it weren’t for Gerard Butler lending a hand to save it.

District 9 You can tell from the previews that District 9 is slightly atypical. Much of the movie is shot as a documentary. Especially the first 10-15 minutes.
