Ice Age
Ferdinand movie review: no bull, it’s wonderful
Goofy, charming, faithful to its sweet source material, and all while advancing the standard “Be yourself” message with fresh challenges to gender expectations.
Ice Age: Collision Course movie review: where is a mass extinction when you need one?
The Ice Age flicks are the cinematic equivalent of drive-through nuggets of reconstituted chicken slurry served by a bored teenager in a cardboard hat.
Two by Two: Ooops… The Ark Has Gone (aka Two by Two: God’s Little Creatures, aka All Creatures Big and Small) movie review: global apocalypse, you know, for kids
This spectacularly ill-conceived movie is what happens when a cheap ripoff cannot even rise to the level of crass Hollywood junk.
Epic review: you can’t stop the rot
Ironically, nothing feels organic here, and certainly nothing feels magical…
fun stuff from FlickFilosopher stats week of Dec 22-28 2012

It’s movies like this one that make me despair. Because it is going to make a bazillion bucks at the box office around the world, and there’s absolute nothing here that warrants such success.
Ice Age… on ice! you know, for kids
See lovable contortionist acrobats in squirrel costumes on skates, singing Ice Age favorites including “Ode to the Glacier (My Heart Is Melting)” and “Top of the Food Chain, Ma!”
deep thought (re a necessary ‘Ice Age’ sequel)
After next year’s Ice Age: Continental Drift, I demand Ice Age: Mass Extinction.
