Search for The Movie

Understanding British humor can be a vexing experience for some American viewers. Although the two countries share a common language, comedy doesn’t necessarily translate across the ocean. Absolutely Fabulous, a hugely popular TV hit in England...

Put The Angry Birds Movie 2 into the basket of sequels that no one was asking for. Three years ago, it made (business) sense to release The Angry Birds Movie. That film helped boost the Angry Birds brand, which had already infiltrated almost e...

Calling The Angry Birds Movie an “animated film” is giving it airs. It’s a cartoon. Deal with it. Family-friendly motion pictures, whether live action or computer-drawn (the hand-drawn versions are no longer being made), fall into one of sev...
