By Tiffany Opened March 26, 2010 | Runtime:1 hr. 38 min. PG for some scary images, brief mild language and sequences of intense action I took my 8 and 5 year olds to see this, we caught the 3D version. Because if it's in 3D, it's probably for a very good reason. This one is because the flying scenes are AMAZING! They give Avatar a run for it's money! And it's ANIMATED. … [Read more...]

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
By Tiffany Opened February 12, 2010 | Runtime: 2 hr. 0 min. PG for action violence, some scary images, peril, mild language and suggestive material Welcome to Harry Potter, the Greek Gods edition. Unlike my much beloved (and slightly obsessed with) HP, I'm not familiar with the series of books this is based on. So I had to take it at face value. I can't tell you how … [Read more...]

The Lovely Bones
By Tiffany Tweedie Opened January 15, 2010 | Run time: 2 hr. 15 min. PG-13 for mature thematic material involving disturbing violent content and images, and some language I should preface all this by saying I did not read the book, though I was very much aware of it.

Sherlock Holmes
By Tiffany Opened December 25, 2009 | Runtime: 2 hr. 14 min. PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some startling images and a scene of suggestive material I can in all honestly say, this is not your mother's Sherlock Holmes!! At least, not my mother's. She and my stepdad went to see it and didn't much care for it (and they love action-adventure movies.) My … [Read more...]
It’s Complicated
By Tiffany Opened December 25, 2009 | Runtime: 1 hr. 54 min. Rated R for sexuality and some drug content This is one of the best "adult" comedies I've seen in a very long time. It's raucous and rowdy, brassy and bawdy, without being crass, sophomoric and, well, stupid. The writing is top-notch and the plot is not just plausible, but very relate-able. There are twists and … [Read more...]
