Hoodwinked! (2005) Play Streaming

An efficiently amusing and unsurprisingly polished blend of traditional hand-drawn and computer-generated animation techniques.. Offers a few laughs but overall is pretty tired.. A movie carefully engineered for an audience of exactly nobody.. . Fantastic images aside, Sinbad isn't much more than the tale of a 'bad' guy getting in touch with his good side, as well as a love story that makes monster-loving little boys go 'yuck!' And that's what's too bad about Sinbad.. Sinbad is rich with ideas a...

Hotel Transylvania (2012) Watch Streaming

There's enough here to entertain - and gross out - the kiddie crowd, and parental units, too..

Buddy films have always been about balancing opposite urges. Here the balance mirrors not only what's needed for great art, but also for mental and spiritual healing.. "Hotel Transylvania" never becomes the great monster mash...

This fourth installment featuring the computer-animated, prehistoric critters is aimless and derivative. While the fi...

WALL-E is a classic, but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible.. What could have been an epic Disney misfire is saved by the charming Adams.. WALL-E is Pixar's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial or its Pinocchio: an archetypal fable about loneliness simple enou...
