My review of the new animated movie Valiant for Science Fiction Weekly is live at SciFi.com. The film purports to tell the story of the celebrated homing pigeons that saved thousands of lives during WWII.

Caveat emptor:  My original grade for the movie was a C+, but apparently the text of my review contained too much that looked like praise to editorial eyes. That's fine because I did spend a while deliberating between a C+ and a B-. But as The Unemployed Critic wrote of Valiant at imdb.com (more succinctly and successfully than I put it), it's "good eye candy that suggests a stronger, more enthusiastic time than it actually provides."
