Latest Review: Ramona and Beezus Sometimes I get into discussions with various older people I know and they constantly wonder why Hollywood doesn’t make movies like they used to. Movies that were clean. Fun. Suitable for all members of the family but not overtly dumb either. I suspect that when they talk about movies like this...More

Latest Editorial: Did Disney Do Right To Tamper With Miyazaki's Dubs? People complain all the time when they listen to dubs of some of their favorite anime and foreign films.  Generally us fans of the original version prefer the original language tracks, but we still like to complain about them now and again.  When it comes to anime I tend to watch it in Japanese...More

Great Director of the Month: Robert Zemeckis He’s helped pioneer special effects in film. He’s created revolutionary techniques that the movie world is still benefiting from. He’s directed both critically acclaimed dramas and pop corn entertainment. And sadly the average person doesn’t even know his name. He is Robert Zemeckis, an Academy Award-winning director who also happens to be friends with big shot...More

Great Movie...Until They Screwed Up The Ending: The Golden Compass Everything was set for “The Golden Compass” to be a modern classic. There was an all-star cast of veteran actors sharing screen time with new faces that showed great potential. There were great special effects. The story of a rebellion fighting higher authority led way to an epic battle between good and evil...More

Overlooked DVD/BluRay of the Month: The Plague Dogs When you think of great animation the works of Disney, Hayao Miyazaki, and the Warner Bros. cartoons usually spring to mind. Works by these companies (and director) are certainly very good works, very inspired works, and deserve to be seen by anyone...More

In Memory
Brittany Murphy (1977-2009)

Roger Ebert once said Brittany Murphy was a star in the making, and that all she needed was the right movie to realize that potential.  Though his remarks may have been true the world is likely not to know whether she had that potential.  For today, December 20, 2009, Brittany Murphy suffered cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at...More

Ask The Movie Wizard A Question

Spirtuality In Film
By Chris Monks


Humility breeds humility. The most humble act a person can do is sacrifice themselves in some way for another human being. That humble act then breeds humility in that the one receiving the sacrifice is now brought to humility just by standing before the one who sacrificed for them. That is ultimately an act of redemption...More

Please Keep This Site Free...By Paying For It

While I would love to be one of the big sites that makes money just through advertising I'm sorry to say that I have been paying for this site out of my own pocket for years. Now I am asking for support. It used to work that if you requested a review I would go by or check out the book and review it. Now I'm asking for your support and giving you something at the same time. What I have here is a Google Checkout button that you see on each page. There are three donation options. The first is 'Here's A Tip' for $1.99. This one is pretty self-explanitory: You are giving me a tip to help keep the site running. You can still request a review and I will do my best, but no promises. The next one is 'Request a Review' for $4.99. If you choose this option your title is getting reviewed. It may still take awhile, but it won't take longer then a month, and your review request goes near the front of the list (sorry, but screeners are still the top priority). The third option is 'Request a Video Review' for $19.99. This means a Spaceriffic video review of your title will go up in one of the above boxes. These reviews are time consuming so (aside from the initial one to let you know how it will look) this feature will only be updated when this donation is made.

This site costs a couple hundred bucks a month to run plus the costs of the books themselves. That means to keep this updated on a weekly I need monthly donations/sales of $500 a month. Since I'm still unemployeed I can only cover these costs myself for a couple more months, at which point the site might have to be shut down. Now keep in mind that you don't need to make donations to keep this site afloat. Simply advertising with us through Project Wonderful or buying merchandise through my eBay and/or iOffer store will also go towards this goal. But this is it folks. I need the help. I can't keep these sites going forever. So I'll do what I can to keep the site up through Christmas, but if the site doesn't generate money and I still don't have a full time job then (getting work is tough right now), then the site will most likely close on January 1st, the 5th Anniversary of the site. Now we don't want that to happen do we? Oh, and on a final note I don't accept PayPal anymore. Sorry, but I don't. They are a scumbag company who ripped me off. In fact, they are a major reason as to why I'm having financial difficulties right now. I do accept Amazon Payments, mpayy, and Money Bookers, so if you would rather donate that way then feel free to. Thanks in advance for the support, and here's hoping for many more years of The Movie Wizard.com.
