How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) – Despite the early promise of Antz, I never really felt that DreamWorks Animation existed on the same level as an animation studio like Pixar. Despite some strong showings like the first couple Shrek movies, Megamind, Monsters vs. Aliens, and the Madagascar flicks, DreamWorks Animation films always felt … Continue reading →

Puss in Boots (2011)

Puss in Boots (2011) – So I liked Shrek a lot. Then Shrek 2 ended up being a pretty great sequel. Then the franchise headed south pretty fast with two mediocre-to-lousy sequels. Now they’re going the spin-off prequel route with one of the most popular supporting characters: Puss in Boots. I’ll never understand what mad … Continue reading →

Megamind (2010)

Megamind (2010) — Premise in a nutshell: evil supervillain actually defeats the superhero who has been thwarting him all these years and find that he now has no idea what to do with his life.  Dreamworks Animation has rarely been on the same film-making level as Pixar (mostly due to over-relying on popular culture references… … Continue reading →

Despicable Me (2010) — Cute. I was not enthusiastically enthralled in the plot of this film, but it was cute. It seems to me that Pixar is constantly raising the bar for family entertainment while dreck like the Alvin and the Chipmunks “Squeakquel” is constantly lowering it. Then you have the rest. Movies that have … Continue reading →

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010)

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010)– I could probably pick this movie apart point by point but that would really require giving it too much thought. When you DON’T give it too much thought, this movie is actually pretty fun. Jay Baruchel (as previously proven in She’s Out of My League, How to Train Your Dragon, and … Continue reading →

How to Train Your Dragon (2010) — As much as I bitch about Spongebob, Hannah Montana, and the sorry state of children’s entertainment nowadays, movies like this prove that there’s still a place for quality.  If kids today are anything like I was, then they like movies that give them credit for a modicum of … Continue reading →
