I was initially disgusted by the thought of a movie about emojis and could not fathom that it would even be slightly interesting. Boy, was I wrong. I admit it. I watched this movie. I initially started watching to zone out, thinking it would just be colorful. Within minutes, though, I was sucked in. Enough …
I read a one sentence synopsis of this movie, Downsizing (2017), and decided to watch it without knowing who was in it or seeing trailers for it. There are two parts to this review. After the movie thoughts and then after reading reviews from hillbillies on imdb. First, though, let me reveal my epiphany. Art. …
Art is either something that touches you or not. When you walk through an art gallery, you revel in the beauty or the ugliness of pieces. As I have stated many times before, if art produces any kind of response, it has succeeded. Death of any art form is disregard. There are two types of …
I almost did not see this movie because the previews indicated that they ghettoed it up. I decided to give it a chance due to the unique “2/3D” animation and the affinity for the horrible voiceover specials from way back. So, up-front-it’s not ghetto!! If you liked any of the specials, you will like this. …

First, I am not a big Adam Sandler fan, and had I known he was in this, I would have probably not watched it. How, you may ask, did I start watching a movie without knowing anything about it? Hmmm… I have an interest in cobblery. I saw the title and just went for it. …
There are three types of entertainment. Things you like, things you hate and things you are indifferent about. The worst one of the three is the indifference. As an artist, if you’ve created something that invokes some type of emotion-either love or hate, then you have succeeded. If someone has forgotten they’ve seen your work, …
I would like to think of myself as quite open minded when it comes to cartoons. I grew up reading Dr. Suess books and liked the “out there” style. I wanted to see the Lorax in 3D at the movies, but I have been so disappointed with movies that I rarely go to the theater …
I was giddy with excitement about this movie when I heard the plot a while back and I am a fan of Nick Swardson. He’s an original in a sea of clones. Everyone complains about how all of hollywood’s movies are all the same and here is one that stands out. Yes, I know the …

I was looking through the classic holiday claymation videos for my traditional Rudolph and Frosty flicks when I stumbled across “Mad Monster Party?” by Rankin Bass. I didn’t know this existed, and was excited to see their take on Halloween/Monster Movies. It started off well enough, with a James Bond-esque theme song and a tropical …
