The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Either you're into this sort of stuff. Or you're not. »
Grown Ups
Plot lacks. Movie disappoints. »
'Toy Story 3'
It's delightful. »
'The Karate Kid'
New version doesn't quite measure up »
'Get Him to the Greek'
The new Judd Apatow flick isn't quite as funny as 'Superbad' or graphic as 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall,' but it's in their neighborhood. »
'Sex and the City 2'
Sequel is a lesser film, but fans won't mind »
'Shrek Forever After'
The magic, sadly, is gone. »
Letters to Juliet
It's predictable, but the film is still a nice escape. »
'Iron Man 2'
The much-awaited sequel is pointless, yet entertaining. »
Furry Vengeance
Little ones might find it fun; adults won't. »
'If You Give a Cat a Cupcake'
The Rose show is colorful, imaginative and fun. »
'Legally Blonde'
The frothy musical got loud applause. »
'How to Train Your Dragon' is a treat
Check out what Bob Fischbach has to say about other movies out now for teens and kids, too. »
'Kick-Ass'
The movie is an absolute hoot, a giddy deconstruction of caped crusaders and men of steel. »
'Date Night'
Two funny people with great comic chemistry take us for a night on the town. »
Review: 'How to Train Your Dragon'
Cuddly cartoon characters can't overcome the emphasis on message over comedy. »

Moms and dads will appreciate this movie made for tweens. »

But it's forgettable. »
Burton's 'Alice' better left down hole
The movie rants and raves, sputters and squeals. »

Another original children's show at The Rose »
Percy Jackson & the Olympians

Harmless date movie but not very good. »
'Dear John'
Acting makes weepy movie passable »
'Extraordinary Measures' fine for kids
But probably too talky »
