Let’s Review a TV Series: Mummies Alive

Well last year around this time I looked at the first season of the Legend of Korra.  While the second season of that show certainly has lots to be discussed it’s still airing and will have to wait.  So instead I’m jumping in the way back machine and going all the way back to 1997 to talk about the one and only season of Mummies Alive.  And hey mummies are a scary monster staple and totally appropriate for Halloween.

Short Subject: The Skeleton Dance (1929)

Welcome to a new idea for the blog where I’m taking a look at short films all on their own.  Today I’m looking at a short that is totally appropriate for this spooky season.

Let’s Review a Movie: All About Eve (1950)

So today I’m looking at the winner of the 1950 Oscar for best picture and the movie that is tied with Titanic for the most Oscar nominations in history.

Let’s Review a Movie: The Rescuers Down Under (1990)

Finally after a summer of bad and mediocre sequels I’m going to review something awesome!

Let’s Review a Movie: Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007)

Okay so if Cinderella II expanded a story that didn’t really need to be developed further.  Then the best follow up to that film is to erase all of it along with the original film completely!

Let’s Review a Movie: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002)

So fifty years after the release of the classic film that still has high marketability even today some high executive at Disney decided that it needed a direct to DVD sequel that would help define the early 2000s as a Dork Age for the company.  So for this Disney fan that rather liked the original Cinderella both for its look and story my response to this thing is a resounding…meh.

Let’s Review a Movie: The Lion King 1 ½ (2004)

You know the title card for this film where the background cracks apart just really sums up this film in a nutshell.  This thing is wrecked on arrival.

Let’s Review a Movie: The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride (1998)

Well The Lion King was the highest grossing animated film in its day, and still is in the category of traditionally hand-drawn films.  Therefore the powers that be decided that it certainly needed to get a straight to video sequel to rake in the cash and who cares if it measures up to the original or not.    

Monsters University – Early Thoughts

Well I’ve decided to declare it sequel summer for the blog and I will be looking at sequels to films I’ve already reviewed.  So what better place to start than with Pixar’s latest sequel to their 2001 hit movie Monsters Inc.  Please note that this review contains spoilers under the cut.

Let’s Review a Movie: Superman Doomsday (2007)

The first release of the DC animated direct to DVD animated movies done by Bruce Timm and his great creative team after completing their long run on several superhero TV shows from Batman the Animated Series all the way up to Justice League Unlimited.
