“The Answer Man” is an official pick of the 2009 Sundance Festival. For an independent film it is quite good. However, it is filled out with a weak subplot and an annoying redundancy of emotions and actions.
The film has great cast. Unfortunately, it seems that the script tries the patience of the actors. Jeff Daniels is Arlen Faber, the writer of “Me and God,” a book that changed spirituality and owns 10 percent of the God market. No one knows who Arlen is. He is a hermit that is tired of people coming to him for all the answers. Apparently, the questions and answers in his book came from a direct conversation with God.
Lauren Graham, formerly of the “Gilmore Girls,” stars as Elizabeth, a single mom that is trying to run a chiropractor shop. By chance, Arlen throws his back ...

I must be out of it, but I disagree with every review out there on this film. I find this to be, by far the worst of the Disney/Pixar presentations. It just doesn’t live up to the standard set forth by “Finding Nemo,” “Cars,” “The Incredibles,” etc. One of my biggest issues with the film, and the reason why I never went to see it in theaters, is that the story is simply pedestrian and outright silly.
While other Pixar films are not exactly routed in reality, the have an incredible story that makes you overlook the fundamentals. However, that is not the case with this film. The film starts out promising. But then the best part of the film is the several minute montage of Ellie and Carl’s life together. After that, the film is not very engaging. The characters ...

At long last, “Monsters, Inc.” makes its way onto Blu-ray after one or two delays. And it is definitely worth the wait. The film is another one of Disney’s best. While there are a few lulls in the film, it is certainly entertaining for kids.
“Monsters, Inc.” is about the human world versus the monster world. We all grew up fearing that there were monsters under our beds (though I was fortunate to have a bed with a solid bottom - no monsters there). In this film, the monsters have a closet door system that allows them to access children’s bedrooms and scare them. The monsters collect these screams to use as power for their city. However, lately there has become a scream shortage, as children are desensitized.
The only thing that the monsters fear is all things from the human realm. ...

“Love Actually” is a little known British romantic comedy. This is about as good as it gets for modern romantic films. There is something in this film for everyone. It is truly the perfect holiday date movie.
The film’s basis lies in the connections among strangers. The story follows several British individuals that are seemingly all linked. This is a film of joy, happiness and belief in loving mankind. Aside from the intricate storylines, the film boasts a tremendously talented cast. Some of the lead performers are Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney and Keira Knightley. In addition to the leads, there are numerous cameo spots by actors such as Elisha Cuthbert, Denise Richards, and Shannon Elizabeth. The list goes on and on.
The film deals with finding love, maintaining love and repairing love among several ...

“Ice Age” became an animated phenomenon back in 2002. Immediately, the characters became loved by children. The success of the first film led to a sequel in 2006, which was slightly less popular than the original. This setback did not deter Fox from creating a third Ice Age film. Unfortunately, this latest film seems to be running on fumes.
“Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” is closely tied with “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” Ellie is pregnant, Sid longs for a family of his own and Diego is growing old and wants to leave the “herd.” When Sid steals three dinosaur eggs, trouble ensues.
The mom T-Rex dino comes searching for her babies. She kidnaps her kids, along with Sid and takes them back to her lair. The herd follows the dino into a cave that leads to an underground ...
