There was a gem of a short film released last year that was originally part of an app available on iTunes, and it won the Oscar earlier this year for best animated short subject called The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.

2 Comments »“We Bought a Zoo”, but was It Worth It? (Blu-Ray Review)
April 16th, 2012 Malone Cameron Crowe (“Say Anything”, “Jerry Maguire”) is the master of romantic comedy. Very few directors can pull off that perfect emotional blend of sadness and humor that turns an audience to putty in his hands. But as we know, nobody’s perfect and Crowe’s last narrative film, 2005’s “Elizabethtown” was a critical and box office flop. […]
MARQUEE MAMA Reviews Disneynature’s “CHIMPANZEE” (Film Review)
April 16th, 2012 Marquee Mama If you’re looking for a true family film, one you can enjoy worry-free with young kids, it’s going to be “Chimpanzee”. I’m betting most parents of very young (but age-appropriate for the theater) children are like me, often disappointed in what studios describe as “family films”, which frequently result in you awkwardly explaining moments of […]
It’s Impossible Not to Enjoy “Ghost Protocol” (BluRay Review)
April 14th, 2012 Malone I’m pretty sure it’s an impossible mission to discuss spy franchises without even thinking about the timeless James Bond movies. However, since 1996 Tom Cruise has given us a series that has not only been as commercially successful as the 007 flicks, but are every bit as fun as any license to kill. On April […]
LOCKOUT, A Sci-Fi Thriller (Film Review)
April 12th, 2012 John Delia With a mixture of tongue in cheek comedy and sci-fi action Lockout does an average job of entertaining male teens through adults. The fast paced film reminds me however, of Escape From New York another futuristic film that features some very mean characters and a lot of brutality. Lockout features some very mean looking characters […]

THE RAID: REDEMPTION, A Kick-butt Action Flick (Film Review)
April 12th, 2012 John Delia A kick to the head, a fist to the body, guns blazing, explosions rocking the hallways, knives slashing, bodies everywhere and that’s only the first 15 minutes of film The Raid: Redemption. With amazing choreography, realistic combat and creative cinematography the movie makes a big hit. Don’t look for an original story, but that’s not […]

THE THREE STOOGES, A Hysterical Comedy (Film Review)
April 12th, 2012 John Delia Woo Woo Woo, Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck and all the sight gags you can handle are back and more impious than ever in The Three Stooges. The very cool film had me in stitches with inane comedy that hits the top of my laughter barometer. Although mainly a guy film, most all who can remember the […]
