Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
|
Even though the secret of the skull is itself a bit of a letdown, this film has plenty of appealing surprises to compensate for its failings. If Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is not a great film, it's still more than good enough.

Movie Review: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
|
|
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian succeeds not by duplicating The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but by building on it, taking what could have just been “Battle for the Planet of Narnia” and instilling it with spiritual lessons about faith, courage and service.

Leatherheads provides a good natured, often hilarious look at a bygone era when pro football was more brawl than organized sport. With appealing performances by Clooney, Zellweger and Krasinski—and don’t forget those silly helmets!—Leatherheads scores.

Horton Hears a Who! is a great piece of entertainment—as relevant today as it was 50 years ago—filled with laughs and lessons suitable for the whole family.

Movie Review: Penelope
|
As a modern-day parable, Penelope serves as a clever and good natured reminder that it’s what’s inside a person that counts and that even a girl with the face of a pig can have the heart of a princess.

Movie Review: The Spiderwick Chronicles
|
Although The Spiderwick Chronicles isn’t the next Narnia, the movie succeeds as a delightful 98 minutes of family-friendly fantasy and is filled with stunning visuals, ample excitement and a surprising world where more exists than first meets the eye.
