Review:

Madea (Tyler Perry), as you know from the other movies, is a very shall we say, intense person who creates a whole lot of trouble in what should be normal activities of her family and friends, even though she means well. In this one, her older niece Shirley (Loretta Devine) is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and she wants nothing more than to get her family together to tell them the sad news. But her adult children are too busy with their own issues to even notice that she’s withering away with the chemotherapy or even to stay there long enough for them to find out the truth. Her daughters Tammy (Natalia Desselle Reid) and Kimberly (Shannon Kane) have domestic issues, while their brother Byron (Shad “Bow Wow” Moss) is pushed into returning to drug dealing after getting out of prison. Madea, however, is there for Shirley, along with Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis) if that’s a good thing and will get the family back on track no matter what she has to do, and she’s willing to do quite a bit.

Review:

Rio tells the story of a Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), a blue macaw that believes he is the last of his kind. Having led a cooped up life, but one that he loves, with his owner Linda (Leslie Mann), his only regret is that he can’t find love. But when they hear about a female macaw that lives in Brazil at a shelter, Blu has hope that they will one day meet and fall in love. Well, as luck would have it, a bird researcher Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), would like to see the bird for himself, and they all go to the South American country to find her. Soon after Blu meets Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and they really start get along, tragedy strikes when both birds, thought to be very rare and expensive, are kidnapped by smugglers. They escape, but aren’t safe as they wind up being chased all through the film by the bad guys and tracked by Nigel (Jemaine Clement), a cockatoo that belongs to the smugglers. With the help of some wise cracking city birds that they meet along the way, Jewel and Blu must stop their captors and return to live their lives happily ever after. Read more…

Review:

Arthur is a reboot of the 1981 film starring Dudley Moore and in any reboot, there has to be comparisons between the two. In short, Moore’s portrayal of the rich socialite, but always drunk playboy was an incredible role for him. He played it to the tee, treading that fine line between comedy and drama. It was no doubt his greatest role and Arthur was one of the most beloved films around.

So to have it brought back with someone else is bound to raise the ire of reviewers and we will admit that we are one of those. If this had been a different story, or perhaps even the same type of story with a different name, we might be far less judgmental, but you don’t remake a classic, twisting it around, and expect those who watch it not to compare it.
