Green Lantern
Good 83 Points 2011

So this is what the kerfuffle is about, a comic-book superhero whose main superpower is to create cartoons that save the day. Basically, it’s sixth-grade superhero shit, but does make for a sporadically good movie. Mostly that’s because of leading-man Ryan Reynolds, who plays it all for fun, as h…

Barely OK 66 Points 2010

Who can pronounce Ga’Hoole? Who enjoys the joke that owls suffer from “daymares?” Who can keep straight similar looking owls with names like Gylfie, Eglantine and Allomere? Who indeed.

Hooey. This animated fantasy movie is for the birds, ironically suffering from too much ambition and too …

Great 20 Points 2010

How to Train Your Dragon deserves to be considered along side the Toy Story, Cars, and other animated family greats. And for those of you who remember Asterix and Obelix – this movie will bring up memories of that that old-school Teutonic humor infused with a lighter look at dragon slaying. Fina…

Toy Story 3
Perfect 92 Points 2010

Flawless. Silly, deep, wonderful and wise, TS3 pegs the perfection meter. Boing!! Purple, purple, purple. Every toy gets its due, every heart string gets plucked, every joke works. Wow, how does Pixar keep doing this? They’re the Jacksons – the Phil Jacksons – of movie making.

TS3 gi…

Day & Night
Great 66 Points 2010

Day & Night cleverly combined 2 and 3D animation, breaking new ground in the process. It presented cartoon characters of Day and of Night in a 2D foreground plane, while the world of daytime and the world of nighttime are visible in 3D space behind them. It all works magnificently well on scr…

Really Great 66 Points 2009

Gobs of fun for kids and adults, this high octane spoof features lifelike animation seamlessly blended with live action, mucho LOL, a clever story and hip-kid music. Plus the 3D works splendidly, as fresh an experience as color must have seemed to B&W audiences back in the day.

The story abou…

Mary and Max
OK 81 Points 2009

Mary and Max renders a bone-dry absurdist story in claymation’s grotesquely uncharitable visuals. Unfortunately the story is charitable only to the odd couple of the title: he a middle-aged autistic living in NYC, she a little girl growing up in near abusive squalor in Australia. Pairing a gr…

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…

Partly Cloudy
Perfect 78 Points 2009

Perhaps the most lighthearted film ever, this rib tickling short delivers surprising emotional weight in its six minute running time. Initially evoking classic delivered-by-the-stork scenes from cartoons gone by, the film soon becomes a tale of dutiful loyalty in the face of inadvertent harm. …
