  • DVD: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

    I rate this titleonand give it3.0

    Um, This is a comedy.....

    Uhhh.... you people do realize this is a comedy, right? It's got some genuinely creepy moments sure, but for the most part, it's over-the-top ridiculousness. Now, it's not great, but ...

  • Movie: Where the Wild Things Are

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      • My highlights are:
      • Positive messages
      • Good role models

      This is not a movie. It is a film. This is not entertainment, it is a work of art. A peice of poetry. This film was beautiful on so many levels, visually, technically, artistically, nostalgicly. ...

    • DVD: Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman

      I rate this titleonand give it4.0

      The REAL Chipmunks come face-to-face with my favorite Universal monster? SIGN ME UP!

      Forget what you saw in the theaters in 2008, THIS is the REAL Alvin and the Chipmunks. Keeping the spirit of the original cartoon is huge part of what makes this film work. The songs are catchy, ...

    • TV: The Twilight Zone

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages
        • Good role models

        I love this show. I'm thinking about doing a top 10 episodes list. There is a lot here that kids not only can see, but should see. The way Rod Serling, Richard Matheson, and other writers ...

      • Movie: District 9

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
        My concerns are:
        • Excessive violence
        • Inappropriate language

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages

        This is the definition of "Instant Classic."

        In short: If you haven't already, go see "District 9." Not only is it a very good movie, but it's a once in a lifetime opprotunity. I seriously think that 10-20 years down the ...

      • DVD: Halloween

        I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0
        My concerns are:
        • Excessive violence
        • Inappropriate sexual content
        • Inappropriate language
        • Negative message

          Ok, this movie is not for kids. Plain and simple. My sister, who is two years older than I am, was scared by this. However, if you can stand the utterly gut-wrenching suspense, you get a very ...

        • DVD: Happy Feet

          I rate this titleoffand give it2.0
          My concerns are:
          • Negative message

            WARNING: MESSAGES NOT AS POSOTIVE AS YOU THINK

            WARNING: I have not seen this film. I just need to give everyone a warning about it, and this is the only way I can think to do so. All parents who love the "posotive message" watch ...

          • DVD: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

            I rate this titleonand give it4.0

              • My highlights are:
              • Positive messages
              • Good role models

              Oh, Such Delightful Fun!

              Well, I rather enjoyed this film. I felt there were certainly many problems, mostly the pacing for me persoanlly, but it was still a fun ride. I hope parents can take away that they should teach ...

            • Book: Watchmen

              I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

              Who Watches the Watchmen? I don't know, but this is a damn good book.

              Well, let's get right into it. The story, well, it’s very long and complicated, so make sure you aren’t reading this while laughing at the hilarity of your favorite TV show. In order to ...

            • TV: Robot Chicken

              I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

              Freakin' Hilarious

              I must say, I love Robot Chicken. It does a great job of parodying both media of all times, and the political and social troubles of our times. It's not quite as political as South Park, but it ...

            • DVD: Iron Man

              I rate this titleonand give it5.0

              He Has Not Lost His Mind

              Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said? Iron Man rocks. Plain and simple. If you have not seen this movie you should kick yourself five times and run to the theater, ignoring the pain ...
