If ever the future of the Muppets was unclear, the early 1990’s was the time. Creator, father and lead puppeteer Jim Henson had died suddenly at age 53 in 1990. The Muppet Show, canceled nearly a decade earlier, had quietly disappeared from syndication and the once popular Muppet Babies, was cancelled in 1991. As it […]

Blu-ray Review: Cars 2
Cars 2 is far more entertaining than the 2006 original, and it’s a good thing, because it’s also the weakest film in the Pixar cannon. As one would expect, the film looks fabulous, and has some nifty action sequences, but the story, by John Lasseter, Brad Lewis and Dan Fogelman with a screenplay by Ben […]

Blu-ray Review: Gnomeo & Juliet
The story of Romeo & Juliet has been told a lot, but never quite like this. Imagine Shakespeare’s classic told by a group of garden gnomes, scored to the music of Elton John. How about a voice cast that includes Hulk Hogan, Dolly Parton, Ozzy Osbourne, and Maggie Smith? Strange though it may be, Gnomeo […]
