Look, I know that kids’ movies can’t always be expected to entertain the adults as well as the children, but with quality family entertainment almost consistently being pumped out by Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks, the n...
For the record, I hated the ‘Clash of the Titans‘ remake. The only thing worse than its acting was its awful screenplay. To this day, it also remains the worst example of post-conversion 3D. In fact, the 3D was so bad ...

Despite some stiff competition, ‘The Lorax’ held off every other opener with a second #1 weekend at $39.1 million, which brings its ten-day total to $121.9 million. Too bad Dr. Seuss isn’t around to see everyone ...
