Not a very original concept anymore, I guess it probably was still borderline novel in 2001 when the movie was created. Haley Joel Osment does a very good job, especially for a child star, acting like a robot. I found the ending entirely dissatisfying though, sorry to say. |

Anyone who’s dealt with an elderly parent will be charmed by Robot & Frank, a gentle and deft SciFi comedy. Perhaps the best Alzheimer’s movie yet, though the A Word is never mentioned, it carries an emotional kick that leavens it in the end, elevating it to more than just a lark. The gre…

An upgraded cast elevates the latest Transformers movie into a perfectly acceptable summer blockbuster. Yes, yes, it’s still based on Mattel action figures, whose Godzilla-like scale dwarfs we puny humans. Plus, bombastic director Michael Bay supercharges his movies to absurdly over-the-top …

A seriously cheesy course in death and dying delivered in High Comik style, TS operates as a hard slog through one well done set piece after another. This becomes rather turgid after a while, though the steel gray visuals remain mordantly engaging. Fortunately there are no gray ladies in the …

Justice League isn’t a bad movie, contrary to the professional critics. While hardly a great movie, it is very good and a step above Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, its main forbear. At least, it’s very good fo…

My kids dragged me out to see this one, and I was not dissappointed! Non-stop action the whole way through with outstanding visual effects. You almost started to believe that a camaro could transform itself into a robot, and as you got in to it developed an affinity for them. This is a must-see… |

Cute Pixar movie. You definitely found yourself identifying with the Wall-E as a human like character, and the adventure with the female bot Eve on a quest to return humans to the planet was a fairly engaging story. Amazing animation and decent action, but my daughter and I found ourselves bored… |

The Force is with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, albeit weakly and episodically. Thus, this one-off Star Wars movie registers as a mildly tasty surprise while we endure the two year wait between major episodes. Rogue One tells the backstory of the Death Star, that ultimate weapon of mass de…

Scarlett Johansson in a compelling cyborg story. Not as inspiring as say, Robocop, but Scarlett sure makes for a cute robot, and they have set things up nicely for a sequel. Let’s see where this goes. |

Wow, what a major dissapointment. I thought sequels like Spider man 2, Dark Knight, and Terminator 2 proved that sequels learn from mistakes and succeed over the original. But nnnnnnnoooooo, not in the terrible world of Michael Bay, someone better stick that jerk on a rocket and turn him into wh… |
