“Fright Night” definitely misses the mark of humor and horror that I would expect. Unless you get humor from laughing at the disaster this film seems to be. The special effects were so bad that I think the 1985 version would have shown it up. There was a great deal of gore which covers part of the horror you would suspect from this type of film. The cast did not have very much chemistry and the performances left me bored to tears. I have to say I am glad I missed this one in theatres but if you really want to check it out be sure to pick up the DVD with deleted and extended scenes, bloopers, and the official “How to Make a Vampire Movie Guide”.

Skeeter is not like the other girls in Mississippi. It is obvious she does not believe in the same things her friends do. Returning from college and determined to become a mainstream writer she will turn the town upside down and lose a few friends along the way. The first maid Skeeter approaches is Aibileen (Viola Davis) who works for Skeeter’s best-friend.

Revealing the truth of her current job that she is raising Elizabeth’s child (Ahna O’Reilly) and now there is another baby on the way. It is obvious that young Mae Mobley (Emma Henry) has a connection with Aibileen, one that only a mother should have, but Elizabeth does not seem to have a mothering bone in her body and her child is suffering the consequences of that.

Soon it comes time for one final story, the story from the writer herself, Skeeter who looked at her maid as a mother figure. As truths are revealed Skeeter realizes this book is a masterpiece and something she hopes everyone can learn from.

“The Help” is refreshing and possibly the best film of the year. As many relationships are tested and lost a new sisterhood emerges of woman who are much stronger and independent then they use to be. Oscar worthy performances by Emma Stone and Viola Davis are noticed. Not to mention the amusing Octavia Spencer as Minny Jackson who was a scene stealer throughout the film.

Quickly the story goes from focusing on McQueen to his best buddy Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). Thanks to mistaken identity Mater becomes the center of an investigation. The mysterious tale of espionage becomes confusing with Mater on the case. When a couple spies are brought on the scene we find out that an evil group is out to destroy the World Grand Prix, when the need for them to supply oil is in jeopardy.

As we go on the adventure we visit many glamourous destinations including Japan, Italy and England. Mater is all over the place during the travels and finds himself in some crazy scenarios. Switching Mater to the lead was a sad mistake. “Cars” had a genuine feel that made the film work. It was a heartfelt film that gave children something to enjoy from beginning to end. “Cars 2” can not do the same. It lacks in many areas and was unappealing to the youngsters.

McQueen’s lacking in the lead was a major factor that took away form the magic the original had. The mysterious spy plotting added another unnecessary layer. The Blu Ray did offer superb vivid colors during many scenes. The audio had an exceptional soundtrack and was very clear and crisp. The added bonus of audio commentary, the short of Hawaiian Vacation and Air Mater was a great addition. “Cars 2” may be lacking in some areas, but they all can’t be winners. Kids will enjoy the first round of watching, but they won’t burn out the DVD as they did with “Cars” the original.

King George II (Richard Griffiths) of England orders the Captain and his team of pirates to find the legendary fountain before another explorer does so for Spain. Jack must improvise on his travels since his ship the Black Pearl was lost at sea. He joins ship with the legendary Blackbeard (Ian McShane) in the hunt. While at sea on the Queen Anne’s Revenge Sparrow must deal with Blackbeard and the magical spell that has been cast by his ruthless daughter Angelica (Penelope Cruz).

Along the way to their discovery they must battle monstrous mermaids and the many distractions that every pirate must face. In the end Captain Jack Sparrow proves to be an imperious pirate with another battle won. “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is another enjoyable action adventure in the series. Slightly different version from the ones with his original comrades. Penelope Cruz was a nice addition, but you could notice a definite loss from Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. Overall another enjoyable flick to be enjoyed by your adventurous tween/teen. Make sure to stay till closing credits for a sneak peek at Jack Sparrow’s next adventure.

The 2 disc Blu-Ray combo comes with extra features including audio commentary from the director and producer, bloopers and Disney’s second screen feature. In stores everywhere today!

“The Lion King” is one of the best animations with music to match. Every musical scene was a magical sensation. The Blu-Ray made is ten times more enjoyable with high definition sound and animated scenes. Still one of the best Disney movies to date this film reminds you why it is still called that. A wonderful message about family and friendship and having pride in who you are. Still a magical film that will be enjoyed for many years to come.

 With the help of his best friend Timothy Q. Mouse he becomes a confident elephant who proves he is no laughing matter. Dumbo demonstrates how wonderful diversity is and how everyone should be accepting. There are a lot of good lessons to be learned by children of all ages in this classic film.

We have come a long way with animation and it is not the best film to keep younger children’s attention at length but it is one of the most inspiring and magical tales. The music is superb at helping empower Dumbo to take flight and soar to heights that nobody could expect.

One of the best restorations Disney has provided to date. The colorful circus and amazing acts will have the kids entertained just as much as Ringling Bros.

There are a few scary moments with the Halloween Hound and his glowing green eyes, so this might be a better watched during daylight or for the four and up crowd.

Even the cardboard sleeve is exciting with a 3-D overlay featuring the “Spooky” dog.
