Movie Review: Iron Man 3

Posted 03 May 2013 | By | Categories: All Ages, Movie Guide | 2 Comments

  Sitting in the theatre waiting for the lights to dim, it was hard for me to imagine how Iron Man 3 could possibly bring anything new to the table. We’ve seen the fancy suit upgrades, the special effects, the close encounters. We’ve seen Tony Stark issue hundreds of witty one-liners and take countless hits [...]

“Let’s make some magic.” And so begins Disney’s latest magical creation: Oz the Great and Powerful. Brave they are who will take on a classic that has been named the most-watched movie in motion picture history and is considered one of the top films of all time. Short version: Go see it.

Movie Review: Wreck-It Ralph

I think I might just be too excited to write this review of Disney’s new film Wreck-It Ralph. Not to build up any anticipation or add too much to the hype, but I think I’ve got to say that this is one of my favorite new Disney movies in a long time. It’s got potential [...]

SABusyKids Guide to Halloween Movies

Posted 19 October 2012 | By | Categories: All Ages, Movie Guide | 2 Comments

Halloween movies are one of my favorite ways to celebrate the season, but picking the right one isn’t always easy. Halloween holiday movies seem to fall into four categories in my mind. They can be hilarious, horrible, completely terrifying, heart-warming, or sometimes a little bit of all four. Picking the right movie can be a [...]

Movie Review: Frankenweenie

Posted 05 October 2012 | By | Categories: All Ages, Movie Guide | 1 Comment

Let me first admit something outright… I am not the biggest Tim Burton fan. Although I enjoy some of his movies, it’s the dark styling of the characters and tone that doesn’t always mesh with my movie-going expectations. But there’s a time and place for everything, and Halloween seems the perfect time for the Tim [...]

Movie Monday: Paperman

Posted 13 August 2012 | By | Categories: All Ages, Movie Guide | 1 Comment

Before Disney showed us a preview of The Odd Life of Timothy Green during BlogHer, we had the chance to be completely charmed by Paperman, a new short set to release in November. It’s a beautiful piece of storytelling with little romance, a test of fate and even some origami (okay, paper airplanes, but close [...]

The Odd Life Of Timothy Green

Movie Review: The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Last year at the mecca of blogging conferences, BlogHer, Disney showed us The Help. But just prior to starting the movie, they entertained us with a trailer from The Odd Life of Timothy Green. It was…well…odd. Two young parents, writing down the qualities of their perfect child, burying it in the backyard. A storm. And [...]

Three Stooges

Movie Monday: The Three Stooges

Posted 22 July 2012 | By | Categories: Movie Guide, Teens, Tweens | No Comments

Larry, Curly, and Moe, America’s favorite boneheads, are back. Recapture those family memories of gathering around and cracking up over the antics of The Three Stooges. I grew up with the Three Stooges, so I wasn’t sure what to expect in the movie. The story begins with the boys landing on the doorstep of an orphanage. [...]

Did anybody head out for the midnight showing? And did you find the movie as I did – absolutely pitch perfect? The movie begins with a game of hide and seek…and a mystery that’s never solved…leaving poor Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) in the care of his aunt (Sally Field), uncle (Martin Sheen) and a questionable [...]
