All kids movies should be this fun. Good mix of smart, sillly and just weird. Clever smiles not smirks; doesn’t abandon kids for adults…

#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: Goon (2011)
Nothing can ever best Slapshot, but full marks for trying. Baruchel wrote a good movie, except for his own character. Really likeable & fun.

#140RVW: Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)
Finally calmed down enough to talk about this horrible bait & switch. Read the synopsis of this movie then tell me what movie it describes.

#140RVW: Thor (2011)
Quite good considering how interesting this character isn’t. Really simplistic film. Needed script doctor for weak third act, but hangs on.

Pretty good. Quite good considering how interesting this character isn’t. Really simplistic movie. Felt like it could have used a script doctor, especially for the third act. But I did really enjoy.
#140RVW: Enchanted (2007)
Disney gets spoofed by Disney in modern fairy tale that still plays. Adams comes alive in role made for her, but every member of cast solid.
