The Croods
Blu-Ray Round-Up: 10/7/13
It's been a while, but we're back with looks at new Blu-Rays for Iron Man 3 , Psycho II , Psycho III John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness , Monty Python's The Meaning of Life , Seconds , The Croods , Pain and Gain , The Spy Who Came in from the Cold , and Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing .
The Croods Review
Far from the ” Ice Age with humans” pitch made by the film’s ad campaign, The Croods is an exceptional family adventure that rises above a plot cribbed from countless Disney films to create something special. It’s a funny, vibrant, and surprisingly thoughtful and sincere effort from the makers of the equally great How to Train Your Dragon with action scenes as good as anything that wowed audiences in Rango .
