Search for Brothers

Although not as good as the brilliantly subversive The Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie offers a PG dollop of the same self-mocking humor that made Deadpool so successful. By rejecting the pervasive darkness that has shrouded the character since Tim...

Perhaps no duo has reached farther and deeper into current pop culture than Phil Lord & Christopher Miller. Their recent movies have plundered the DC Universe, an alternate version of the MCU, and even a little bit of the Galaxy Far, Far Away....

Legos. They seem to have been around forever (actually, since 1949). As a kid, some 40 years ago, I can remember playing with them: colored plastic bricks that snapped together. Since then, the Lego empire has expanded, venturing into arenas previ...

It’s taken two spin-offs to transform one of the most surprisingly delightful animated franchises in recent years into an obvious toy commercial. When The LEGO Movie debuted three years ago, it was hailed for being more than what many people...

The best thing that can be said about Life as We Know It is that it gets some of the details right when it comes to the experience of sharing a home with an infant. Still, all the poop, vomit, sleepless nights, and cute, joyous little moments can'...
