Enchanted
Very Good 81 Points 2007

Clever and cute mashup of something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Romantic weddings and the girls who dream of them explain this calculated blend of old-fashioned animation, modern neuroses, borrowed storyline, and oh-so-blue make-believe world.

I got stuck watch…

Fantastic Mr. Fox
Very Good 66 Points 2009

A sly fox of a movie, more for adults than kids, notwithstanding that it’s from a children’s novel, Fantastic Mr. Fox deftly spins an involving tale from start to finish. Writer-Director Wes Anderson uses stop-action animation to impart a superhero vibe that – together with a considerable amou…

Avatar
Very Good 119 Points 2009

Transcendentally beautiful yet cravenly appalling, brilliant yet formulaic, James Cameron’s latest magnum opus induces awe and disgust in equal measure. The former comes from its stunningly realized vision of an Edenic world, the latter from the seditious anti-Americanism that animates the sto…

Kong: Skull Island
Very Good 83 Points 2017

Kong has no dong. It’d be too dangerous, which is why Legendary Pictures won’t go there, even with a post-modern blonde playing the strong woman who has a moment or two with him. Hey, how do we even know Kong is male? No dong, no proof. Beautiful Brie Larson may have had an I kissed a girl expe…

Very Good 83 Points 2017

War is Hell — an equation that the concluding episode of Planet of the Apes hammers home relentlessly. Both sides of the war for Earth, aka the Planet of the Apes, have understandable reasons to kill The Other.

Their war is most assuredly hell, a legitimate, even perfectly justifiable hell…

Very Good 66 Points 2021

Second-tier Marvel is first-class entertainment in the form of the 2021 Venom: Let There Be Carnage, especially given Tom Hardy being directed by Andy Serkis. The legendary Serkis knows his way around tangible superego characters, having been Gollum in Lord of the Rings….

Great 83 Points 2011

Need a lift? I did and The Adventures of Tintin provided it. Light-hearted, highly inventive, magnificently assured, the Belgian boy wonder’s big Hollywood movie proved just the ticket. LOLs are rarely so airy.

A Tintin newbie, I had no familiarity with the comic-page hero: his investigat…

Great 6 Points 2007

I loved this movie, it was so funny and a great family movie. If you loved the cartoon chipmunks, then you will love the new movie version with Jason Lee as Dave Sevill and the cute little CG animated chimpmunks.

Fantasia
Great 12 Points 1940

What an innovative film for its time (1940) — visual cartoon interpretations done by Disney animators of classic musical masterpieces performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Some of the scenes are pretty intense, which I think makes this less of a young child’s film and more of a teen-to-adult …

Not perfect but it doesn’t dissappoint on the first viewing and completely holds up on the second.
