John Krasinski’s imaginary friend movie needs to keep wearing the thinking cap. “IF” is an acronym for “Imaginary Friend.” You know the characters that children create that are invisible to the parents and friends, but visible through their eyes. They… Read More ›
Not as bad as the first, but still is no “Star Wars.” Faithful followers of my reviews (via text, tape, or podcast) will know that I thought Zach Snyder’s “Rebel Moon-Part One: A Child of Fire” was one of the… Read More ›
Not a broken record, just a good-hearted time travel movie. Two years ago, I wasn’t a fan of the made-for-Peacock movie “Meet Cute,” which had Kaley Cuoco playing a woman desperate to make Pete Davidson her dream guy by going… Read More ›
A cute little fiesta of a Netflix movie transitioned from a Nickelodeon show. The age process for the demigoddess Punguari (voiced by Paulina Chávez) is conflicting for me. She’s 12,000 years old, which is the equivalent to a human preteen… Read More ›

This 4th entry lacks the kung fu that elevated the franchise. I really enjoyed the first three “Kung Fu Panda” films, because of the way they were able to broaden their horizons in Po’s journey of self discovery and wisdom,… Read More ›
We can all see in the dark here. There isn’t much theatrical kids movies in theaters at the moment, so it would make sense to that “Migration” and “Wonka” are what the kids are seeing. Obviously, I’d choose them over… Read More ›
