Man of Steel

posted by Nell Minow

Come on, guys, can’t you give us one superhero who is not all angsty and conflicted? Director Zack Snyder, who presided over the ultimate superhero deconstruction in Watchmen, and producer/co-screenwriter Christopher Nolan, who put the cinematic “dark” in Batman’s Dark [...]

Epic

posted by Nell Minow
B+
Lowest Recommended Age:4th - 6th Grades
MPAA Rating:Rated PG for mild action, some scary images and brief rude language
Movie Release Date:May 24, 2013

“Epic” means big — usually a big story filled with grand adventures. This is a grand adventure, but the story is very small, or at least its characters are. Like “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” and “A Bug’s Life” and [...]

Iron Man 3

posted by Nell Minow

Good for Marvel/Disney in keeping the title simple.  No fancy Roman numerals, no colon, so extra words about the return of this or the revenge of that.  But if there was a second title for this third in the “Iron [...]

B+
Lowest Recommended Age:High School
MPAA Rating:Rated PG-13 for some violence
Movie Release Date:March 15, 2013

MVP of the Week: Nathan Fillion
Nathan Fillion is this week's MVP, with performances in two very different films. In Pixar's animated "Monsters University," he provides the voice for the obnoxious campus jock. And in Joss Whedon's swanky, black and white, modern-dress version of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," Fillion play
