Cause it's not. "Dr Strangelove is regarded as a black comedy classic (I love black comedy, don't get me wrong), but it does one thing wrong. It doesn't make you laugh. Oh, there are a couple of good ...

DVD: Dr. Strangelove: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
I rate this titleonand give itIs this supposed to be funny?!

DVD: Akeelah and the Bee
I rate this titleonand give itNot quite as godd as "Bee Season"
"Akeelah and the Bee" is formulaic but good. The story of a girl who won the National Spelling Bee, is has a great performance by its young lead, Keke Palmer. The ending left me feeling cheated, like ...

Book: The Amulet of Samarkand: The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 1
I rate this titleonand give it
TV: Arrested Development
I rate this titleonand give itIt's TV-14, Common Sense!
I love this show. It ranks below "The Dick Van Dyke Show", way below, but it's still so funny. See it! I'm sorry it got canceled. Age recommendation: 14+ (Not for any particular reason, just that ...

Book: The Amber Spyglass: His Dark Materials, Book 3
I rate this titleonand give itWill not read parental reviews again!
I looked up reviews on the "Goden Compass" movie, and was furious when the entire series was almost spoiled for me by one reviewer. Needless to say, I am disappointed in Common Sense Media for not ...

Book: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I rate this titleonand give itI love the "Harry Potter" series, but not this book. It could have been at least 200 pages shorter, meanders around, introduces pointless characters like Grawp, and so on. The best stuff was Fred and ...

Book: The Golden Compass: His Dark Materials, Book 1
I rate this titleonand give itWhat a Book!

TV: Planet Earth
I rate this titleonand give itWhat a great show
I love this show. The camerawork is stunning, the narration is good, and the animals, oh the animals. Snow leopards and pandas and pirahnas. Age wise 5+ may be a little too low. While it doesn't ...

TV: 30 Rock
I rate this titleonand give itA Funny Sitcom
30 Rock is hilarious. Tina Fey plays Liz Lemon, a writer on a hit "NBC" show, and Alec Baldwin plays her meddling and irratating boss perfectly. I heard about this show, and spent all weekend ...

DVD: Enchanted
I rate this titleonand give itWorst Movie of the Year! (That I've Seen
"Enchanted" is a bad movie. It's warm, fluffy, sentimental, and predictable. But what do you expect. It's "Disney". There are a few decent moments, Amy Adam's performance as Giselle, a fairy tale ...

DVD: Juno
I rate this titleonand give itI love this movie.
Fox Searchlight Pictures can't seem to go wrong this year, with releases like "Once", "Waitress", "The Namesake", and now "Juno". Ellen page deserved an "Oscar" this year, giving one of the best ...

DVD: Away from Her
I rate this titleonand give itSad, but really good
What a sad movie. But it's terrific and the acting is first-rate. Julie Christie was nominated for an "Oscar" for her performance, and Gordon Pinset maybe should have been. Sarah Polley, the ...
