SOFIA THE FIRST: ONCE UPON A PRINCESS - DVD review
This one is aimed at girls, but the inclusion of a brother and practical jokes and a Hogwarts-style school for royals might be enough to interest very young boys as well. I think it should be a hit with children ages 3-6.

DJANGO UNCHAINED - Blu-ray review
"Django Unchained" is a vibrant example that Quentin Tarantino doesn't just make movies, he makes pop art.

GANGSTER SQUAD - Blu-ray review
Read into “Gangster Squad” at the level you desire. Just know that, depending on your chosen areas of emphasis, you may hit the bottom of the well sooner than you anticipate.

DELHI SAFARI - DVD review
So much work goes into animation that you have to wonder why directors don’t start with a stronger premise or script. That’s the main problem with “Delhi Safari,” an animated feature from India that, for the time being, is only available at Walmart.

COUNTING CARS: SEASON 1 - DVD review
This show is a lot like a ’76 Honda Accord. It’s not the prettiest thing in town, but it’s reliable, and you just can’t bring yourself to part from it.

Despite a few slow spots, "Dragon" gets a recommendation due to a few unique elements and strong fight scenes.

CRUSH - Blu-ray review
More a laundry list of contemporary teen dreads than a compelling thriller, “Crush” handcuffs a sympathetic performance by Crystal Reed with a sputtering narrative and wafer-thin supporting characters.

PHILIP ROTH UNMASKED - DVD review
Though uneven and parched at times, “Philip Roth Unmasked” is a reasonably effective, wide-not-deep portrait of one of America’s greatest writers.

DISNEYNATURE: WINGS OF LIFE - Blu-ray review
“Wings of Life” will fascinate science nerds, but it’s too slow-moving for a general audience who will find themselves squirming impatiently at least as much as they’re captivated by the impressive cinematography.
