As part of my duties being a Fox Home Entertainment Insider, I get great access to new movies and kids projects. Its fun for the whole family. This week, I got a new DVD based on the hit movie, How to Train Your Dragon. The DVD consists of 10 award-winning episodic adventures of Dreamworks’ Dragons: Defenders of Berk.

Everything is awesome about The LEGO® Movie
I’m not going to build your interest in this film by stacking pun after pun, from fear of you throwing bricks at me. That would be too easy….like Duplo® easy. Instead I had hoped we could interlock our interest for an amazing brand by constructing only the details. So, block out any distractions and enjoy this well-assembled formation of words. Respect the pun, kids.

Review: Frozen
Frozen, like the similar Tangled, is a gorgeously animated picture; but is further evidence that reviving the golden age of Disney musicals is a tough feat. Frozen hits theaters November 26, 2013. Rated PG for some action and mild rude humor. The Arendelle King, presumably of Norwegian or Scandinavian relation, discovers his daughter Elsa (Idina Menzel) has supernatural freezing abilities, …
Review & Giveaway: Coming Home for Christmas DVD
Coming Home for Christmas is a heart-warming tale of reuniting family and overcoming differences, however, heavy-handed writing tends to detract from that message.
Review » Thor: The Dark World
Expensive computer-generated landscapes and effects bedeck Earth’s Mightiest Avenger sequel, but combined with formula “save-the-universe” story and Hiddleston’s allowance to overshadow Hemsworth; Thor: The Dark World is simply not good enough. Thor 2 lands in theaters November 8, 2013. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some suggestive content. Thor’s opening sequence is backstory narration on …
Review: Pacific Rim
Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim can be summarized with one word: BIG. Big robots, big monsters, big characters, big action, big everything. Hideo Kojima (video game maker, Metal Gear) tweeted, “Pacific Rim is the ultimate otaku film that all of us had always been waiting for…”. In many ways, it is. The initial Rim teaser trailer immediately reminded me of a childhood fave, Robot Jox. Let me know if you’ve heard of it. Jox was a cheesy robot vs. robot war flick from the 80s, which borrowed from otaku (anime/manga obsession) and capitalized on the decade’s Transformers craze. Pacific Rim is similar, which turned out as the childhood memory I had always been waiting to revisit. I sat glued to the back of my seat for the next two hours.

Review » Monsters University
Pixar looks to pop-culture fave Revenge of the Nerds, for inspiration in its new animated feature, Monsters University. University may not be original in its narrative, but is raucously entertaining. The film is a pleasant family experience, riddled with bouncy drum lines, offhand humor and inventive characters. In terms of enthusiastic execution, Monsters University excels.
