SAMMY'S
ADVENTURES: THE SECRET PASSAGE
(2010)
"The main problem of any of these kids’ movies that anthropomorphize animals is that a big part of any species’ life cycle revolves around mating." -- Rachel Hyland
TANGLED
(2010)
"Of course, being a Disney movie, Tangled messes with that original fairy tale shamelessly. Nevermind, though. Because the experience they have wrought from this tale is simply a treat for the senses" -- Rachel Hyland
THE
CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE
OF THE DAWN TREADER
(2010)
"Lewis purists will hardly be pleased by, well, any of the changes wrought in this adaptation, but if you can look past it all, then this movie is adequately entertaining." -- Rachel Hyland
THE
WARRIOR'S WAY (2010)
"Badass. This movie can be summed up in that single word." -- Rachel Hyland
TRON:
LEGACY
(2010)
"Much like the original film, the storyline of TRON: Legacy is a cohesive mess." --- David Baldwin

Our topic this month:
Christmas!
DIE
HARD (1988)"So one may wonder why a straight-up action movie is being reviewed here. Well, it's Die Hard with John "Yippee-Ki-Yay" McClane! I don't need to explain myself further to you people!" -- K. Burtt
ELF
(2003)"Jon Favreau's (Iron Man) quirky fish out of water comedy is exactly what the doctor ordered to see you through the Winter blues." -- Mark Ritchie
FRED
CLAUS
(2007)"Yet again Hollywood thinks that if it can throw enough Oscar nominees at a project it will somehow cancel out the bad and make it worthy of a cinematic release." -- Mark Ritchie
SCROOGED
(1988)"This movie is all about Bill Murray. I love that about it. Indeed, I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a little crush on him; the man is a comic genius." -- Rachel Hyland
Our topic next month: Remakes
