Cher Johnson
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 20 and 21
COMMENTS: Being a big Stephen King fan myself, this movie was pretty much what I expected. It was scary throughout then closed with a surprising ending. It was predictable but enjoyable. I would not take anyone under 15 to see it because of the terrifying scenes. It opened slowly until the star (John Cusack) checked into room 1408 at the hotel, then it got going quickly. It was hard (but not confusing) to tell if things were real or imagined, but everything was answered at the end of the movie. The only disappointment was the little amount of time that Samuel L. Jackson and Tony Shalhoub (2 of my favorites) were on the screen. It was definitely a John Cusack movie. The images of his dead daughter were creepy but moving. Overall, I totally enjoyed the movie, and actually jumped with fright twice during the movie. See it if you are a King fan. |

COMMENTS: My husband and I enjoyed this movie very much. A slice of history, a true tale of the underdog and his battle for right, very relevant to these times. Our daughter thought it was OK, long and boring. Nothing objectionable for the younger set (apart from some low cut gowns) but recommended for older kids who are interested in history. A well filmed movie, so strange when you could see an overhead microphone. |

COMMENTS: Atonement is an English costume drama with a twist. It explores the English class divisions shortly before WW II. There is a love story
woven through with sibling rivalry that encompasses WW II. The story weaves forward and back in time through the eyes of the protagonists. There is a twist that is not formulaic at the end of the movie with Vanessa Redgrave. |

COMMENTS: Very cleverly done! My kids didn't get some of the older jokes about Larry King or Ray Liotta, but the adults in our group laughed out loud. Seinfeld should create another kid's movie, because his humor is clean and all about observing the world around him. A definite purchase on DVD.
Leticia Brito
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 3
COMMENTS: Jerry Seinfeld and Renee Zelleweger are great together in this movie. Seinfeld is Barry B. Benson, a bee who does not want to settle for a standard bee job that he will have to stay in for the rest of his bee life. When it comes time to choose his job, he decided to venture out to the world. There he runs into some trouble and gets involved with Vanessa, a human (Zellweger). They are cute together. Barry and Vanessa then create a few problems by suing humans for stealing honey. They win the case but the problems are not over. Barry and Vanessa have to make it better again for humans and the bees. I think this movie is adorable. Great for kids and adults. There is not a violent scene, bad language or any sex in this movie.

Be Kind Rewind 030308
Lyn Grove
STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES: 18, 13
COMMENTS:‘Be Kind Rewind’ starring Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover, with Mia Farrow is a cute, entertaining movie that children and adults/parents will
both enjoy! My children(ages 13 & 18), and I (40-something), viewed it at Ultra Star Mission Valley last week and thoroughly enjoyed it, which can sometimes be challenging considering our age differences! Set in New Jersey, an “old school” video store faces foreclosure. Jack Black, a regular who hangs out at the store accidentally de-magnetizes all the VHS movies while owner Danny Glover is away on business. Realizing his wrongdoing, he and clerk Mos Def, set about to re-shoot every movie in the store’s inventory. We especially found their “remakes” of ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘Lion King’ hilarious! Mia Farrow (yes, Mia Farrow!), plays the role of a customer who frequents the video store every day. Adults and children of all ages will find this movie worthy of seeing. We give it 4 STARS!!! |

CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: I liked the movie. It's animated and a bit violent but the overall message of the film is good: children pay for the mistakes their
parents make. I have to admit, though, that I have not read the book and many people who did seem to be dissapointed with the adaptation made to the story in the film.
Leticia Brito
STARS: 1
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: This movie is horrific. I am a grown adult and I will probably get bad dreams from watching the gruesome, disgusting evil monster named Grendel. The amount of gore and blood is way too much and it should come with a special warning not PG-13. I am not a person to leave a movie but I couldn't stay because the story line did not make it worth staying for loud, obnoxious, bloodied violent scenes. |

COMMENTS: Funny and awesome! Will Ferrell at his best! I laughed so hard during this movie that it was all I could talk about with my wife afterwards. I recommend it to anyone who's a Will Ferrell fan OR who loves comedy in general.
Jonathan Bennett
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: A stupid(in a good way), but incredibly hilarious film. I've never been a big fan of Will Ferrell(besides Stranger than Fiction) and I hate Jon Heder with a passion, but both of them have great chemistry and made me laugh so hard everytime they were on screen together. But the main thing that keeps the film going is the fantastic supporting cast including such incredibly talent comedic actors, such as Will Arnett(from one of my favorite shows, Arrested Development), Amy Poehler(from SNL and Upright Citizen's Brigade) and Jenna Fischer(from the Office), even when the film lags, they still keep it funny enough to forgive some of the film's flaws.
Now onto the negatives, it's a bit too short, there was a fair amount of people that were extremely underused, mainly Craig T. Nelson, Romany Malco, and William Fichnter(possible spelling mistake), while they add a fair amount of extra humor to the film, they still aren't used enough, but besides that, this movie had me in stitches for almost the entire running time. In terms of content, profainity is minor, but there's a heavy amount of crude humor and sexual references(Mainly the fact that Will Ferrell's character is supposedly a sex addict), and there's a scene of sexual content (although it's interruped, before it actually happens) which shows some partial nudity, there's also a disturbing image seen on a tv, that while it's intended for humorous, it might be a bit disturbing for anyone who's under 12. If you aren't easily offended and you're looking for a good laugh, then this one's definitely worth seeing. |
The Brave One 100107
Leticia Brito
STARS:
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: I enjoyed this movie, not only because I think that Jodie Foster is a really good actress, but because I like the role that she plays. She is a strong, independent, career woman who manages to find love and is living a good life. This movie quickly turns from happiness into trajedy. The couple is attacked in their local park while walking their dog. They were not doing anything wrong and they were not in a bad place. The attack is brutal and senseless. I was tearing up. When they are taking them into the emergency room there is something unique that happens in the movie that is very touching and the way that they filmed it with the scenes switching back & forth between the hospital and... |

STARS: 4

COMMENTS: the bucket list was an entertaing movie aimed at older adults. it dealt with doing things you always wanted to do when you find out you are dying. good performances by morgan freeman and jack nicholson, but kids under the age of 18 will probably find slow-moving and unintersting.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian 061608
Sheryl Neal
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 20, 22
COMMENTS: Good movie. More battle scenes than the first one, less story, which is true of the books too. So they had to add material to flesh it out. Most of the additions are fine but for big fans of the books a couple times they went too far. Caspian's Spanish accent works most of the time, but can you say Inigo Montoya, anyone? Battle scenes are borderline PG-13 although bloodless. Special effects outstanding.
Zecha
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: none
COMMENTS: I haven't read the book either but I loved the movie. I only wish I had re-watched the first Narnia movie again before watching this one. I was a little confusing but all my questions were answered by the end. The ending is a bit sad but good. There is quite a bit of violence so I would caution against bring young children - several young children were crying throughout the movie in the theater. The movie went really fast for a 2 hour + movie. |

COMMENTS: Martin Lawrence plays a more serious role in College Road Trip - but not that serious! He had his heart set on Northwestern, his daughter wanted Georgetown. A LOT OF LAUGHS
Anna Wong
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 13, 16
COMMENTS: I thought the movie was a good movie about when to let go of your child. I have a daughter who is looking at colleges right now and watching the movie made me realize that life goes by so fast. You can't stop trying to protect your daughter from danger because it closes the relation gap. It is best to let time run its course and overall it was a pretty good comedy with laughs here and there.

would be like when he leaves the nest. Good movie. |

Dan in Real Life 010708
Julio Sanchez
STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 2
COMMENTS: This movie was funny but it did have a few times throughout the movie that you wondered why they had bothered with a particular scene. The storyline about Dan and Marie carried on for too long. Steve Carell played Dan, a widowed father who has 3 girls. The family gets together for a reunion and Dan meets a woman but he doesn't know that she is his brother's new girlfriend. Now here's my problem because it was clear to me that the brother was into the girlfriend so I really don't understand why Dan and Marie kept on with the games. It made it worse for the family and I think it made it bad for Dan's girls. At the end, all is resolved and everybody gets what they want but real life doesn't work that way. It's a good movie to rent for the funny parts.

There was no cursing and no sex....a story about a family that worked together to accomplish a goal....a good lesson for families of today.
Teamwork should be touted more. It was also an opportunity to teach your young ones the names of some of the many animals that appeared in the movie. I loved it and I'm 60 years young! |

STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 11
COMMENTS: Very clean! I felt comfortable taking my nephew (11) to see it. I would take my 2-year-old to see it. There was no foul language that I could recall or any overly sexual references (there was some flirtations, but that was all). I felt that the relationship between a child and a
single parent were played out very well and the acting was very good. It's nice to see actors like 'the Rock' playing parts in family films.

Cher Johnson
STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: The main reason I went to see this movie is because The Rock is the star, but I knew it would be enjoyable because it's a Disney movie. I was right! This is the cutest, funniest, most entertaining movie that I have seen in a long time. The Rock, as Joe the football hero, was great. He is not only good looking but can really act. I have enjoyed him in action movies, and now he proves that he can do comedy, too. The little girl who plays his daughter, Peyton, was wonderful. The supporting actors, especially Joe's agent and the football team players, added a lot to the humor. The story line was predictable because we have seen other movies where a dad discovers he has a child he never knew about. But The Game Plan is done with such creativity and freshness and humor that I was rooting (silently) for a happy ending. The funniest scene was when Joe ate one of Peyton's cookies and couldn't talk right because he was allergic to the cinnamon in the cookie. The whole audience at the theater was laughing or giggling all the way thru the movie. There was never a dull moment. I would recommend this movie to all ages, and I will be one of the first to buy it on DVD.

COMMENTS: The movie was great. I saw it with my 8 year olds. They loved it. It was a bit scary here and there, but they couldn't get enough of it. I love Nicolas Cage and he is never disappointing in a movie.

CHILDREN AGES: 6
COMMENTS: Wasn't sure if the movie was appropriate for my 6 year old daughter, but she enjoyed it. Once she realized the skeleton lookin dude was a good guy fighting evil and protecting the one he loves, it got 2 thumbs up from me and her! Great effects along with action pack scenes that kept us on our seats throughout the film. Marvel rules! |
Golden Compass 011408
J. Wong
STARS: 2
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: I was a bit disappointed after all the hype. One of those movies where the previews make the movie seem better than the it is when you watch the whole thing. Story had a unique ending - not what I predicted and the acting was good and so were the computerized effects. I didn't bring my child as I wanted to review it first and I don't plan to take her but maybe when it goes to video. |
The Great Debaters 011408
Brian Berlau
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 4/5
COMMENTS: The Great Debaters is based on a true story. It is the story of a small African-American Texas College putting together a debate team that was a national powehouse in the 1930's. Denzel Washington directs and appears as Professor Tolson. It is a good story and shows how blatant discrimination used to be. |
Hairspray 081707
Hazel DeSoto
STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES: 15, 13 and 11
COMMENTS: This movie is very entertaining not to mention the featured songs are very catchy. There was never a dull moment. John Travolta
playing a woman was really weird but he pulled it off. My daughters and I watched a premier of this movie and we do think its well worth watching. Nikki Blonsky was perfectly casted as Tracy Turnblad. This movie proves that if you set your heart on something, eventually you will get it.
Lillian Prado
STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES: 13
COMMENTS: This is a fun-filled, get-you-going, shake-the-blues kind of movie. It is packed with so much entertainment. John Travolta is fantastic! We laughed and wanted to get up and dance (I don't think the rest of the audience would have appreciated it) Not a big fan of musicals myself, I found this movie to be engaging as well as believable! I recommend everyone to go see this movie.

STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 16, 19
COMMENTS: A very cute movie. The music was good too. Musicals are better live, but this made me want to see it on stage. John Travolta in drag and fat suit was unsually weird, especially with his low voice. But when he danced--which is what he does best, after all--he was a scream. I don't think young kids would like this movie unless they are into musical theater. Teens might like it, especially girls.

STARS:
CHILDREN AGES: 9
COMMENTS: My husband and I took our 9 year old daughter, and although she was the only 'real' fan, the show entertained all 3 of us! We liked how
the concert showed Miley both as her character Hannah and her true persona, and we finally got to see what all the fuss was surrounding the Jonas Brothers! (We all think Miley is much more talented!) We were glad to have taken our daughter to see it, and are thankful stars such as down-to-earth Miley still exist for our daughters to look up to.

CHILDREN AGES: 6, 3, 10
COMMENTS: I really enjoyed this movie, Hannah Montana can go a long ways with her career. She has her parents behind her every step of the way.
This was a enjoyable movie for kids and adults. My grand daughter sang through out the entire movie.... lots of fun and laughter and good music.
George Yee
STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 13, 16
COMMENTS: The movie was just okay. It wasn't exceptional and it wasn't too bad. The movie focused on the concert and not much on the behind the scenes parts. It was funny in some parts but my daughter is a big Jonas Brothers' fan but it showed them singing 3 songs. It was alright if you didn't see the concert and your kids wanted to see it badly.

CHILDREN AGES: 12, 15
COMMENTS: the movie wasn't something I expected it to be. For Harry Potter Fans the movie storyline didn't come close to anything like the book. But how many times has a movie been the same as a book? never. So the movie was good overall. The Special Effects were creative and cool. A good movie to see whether you love Harry Potter or Not.

CHILDREN AGES
COMMENTS: the movie was funny, but unfortunately, there were a number of explicit sex scenes which i could have done without. it's too bad that movies today have to incorporate tasteless scenes which ass nothing to the story. it could have been a really good movie if they had toned down the sexual aspect of the film.

STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 5 1/2
COMMENTS: This was an OK movie, but Horton acts sort of spastic and it was a turn-off. My 5 year old son thought it was good but he hasn't talked about it since the first night, which he normally would if he was really pleased with it. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

COMMENTS: Will Smith is great in this movie. This movie is interesting and has a lot of good action but you have to pay close to the story line because it is slow in unraveling. It is about a scientist and his dog who will stop at nothing to find a cure for a virus and get back to his family. Will Smith is a scientist who is immune to the virus but still has to worry about his dog and getting attacked by the creatures who come out at night.

042307 Anna Wong
STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 12, 15
COMMENTS: I thought the movie was very lame and boring. It's not what I expected at all. It has some love scenes that are somewhat passionate but other than that there were so many blanks. The plot line didn't make complete sense since it kept jumping from one scene to another. You get lost throughout the movie. I'd give it half a thumbs up for trying. |

Maggie Adams

STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES: 0
COMMENTS: Juno is a beautiful, witty movie about teen pregnancy. All of the actors, especially Ellen Page, were perfect for their parts. My favorite part of the movie was the script. It was so quick and clever, but what is most impressive is that it is written by someone (Diablo Cody) who is completely new to the Hollywood scene.

| Knocked Up
061807 Margie McGuigan
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 17
COMMENTS: Knocked Up is a not-to-be-missed comedy, but only for (at least) 14+ yrs and up. After graphic sexual images and numerous drug-partaking scenes....the movie does deliver the message that new parents need to be responsible,committed,caring partners. The viewer, however, needs to have maturity to enjoy the process and get the message.
Jonathan Bennett
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: Judd Apatow has another winner with Knocked Up, combining raunchy humor with believeable characters and alot of heart to go along with it. The performances are fantastic, although none of the actors are gonna get oscar nominations, obviously, the characters are both sweet and at the same time, flawed. The writing is near-perfect, the film is filled with plenty of quotes that you'll be saying non-stop once the film ends. It isn't without it's flaws though, it's a bit too long at 129 minutes, and because of that, it starts to drag a bit, but aside from that, this is one of the best comedies I've seen in years. This movie will appeal to both teenagers (14 and up) and adults. If your kids are under 14, I'd recommend hiring a babysitter, the film has an extreme amount of content that may be offensive to a lot of parents, mainly the heavy amount of profainity, the somewhat explict sex scene, the brief scene of nudity and the drug use, plus a lot of the jokes will go over kids' heads. If you liked any of Judd Apatow's previous stuff (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared) then you'll love this one. |

041607 Jennifer Benefield
STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 7 and 10
COMMENTS: I took my two children, ages 7 and 10, to see The Last Mimsy and they were captivated by the story. Science fiction, kids saving the world, and a cute bunny kept their attention the entire time. As the mom, I found the story interesting in a quiet, gentle sort of way and the movie's message about preserving our humanity to be wholesome enough for my kids. I would recommend this movie as a good spring break diversion! |

Cher Johnson
STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES: 22
COMMENTS: Can Bruce Willis be any sexier, even at his age? This movie was enjoyable as expected. It had action and humor which is a great combination for an action movie. I knew most of the stunts that were portrayed in the movie could never happen in real life but who cares? It was great entertainment. Every moment of the movie was exciting and entertaining and it went by quickly. If it was too long, I didn't notice it. I could have watched more. Great action movie, great Bruce Willis movie, great movie all around!

STARS: 1
CHILDREN AGES: 13
COMMENTS: It was a terrible movie whose message is gambling is okay. I normally like Drew Barrymore but this movie does not do a good job of showing her bubbly, inspiring personality. Lucky You was a big dissapointment and a waste of money dont even waste your time watching it on TV. It also is a boring movie, kids will get bored fast

COMMENTS: Great Fun! The 3D effect really impressed my grandson. I loved it to as it took me back to when I was a kid and saw my first 3D movie. And seeing Chip 'n Dale and Donald Duck from 1953 was especially enjoyable for me. The orphans are sweet and life is sad but then life gets better as it
often does.The Robinsons to the rescue on a great adventure into the future. Inspirational, exciting, funny, and scary. As usual a movie with a good message and a happy ending is fully entertaining. Don't miss this one.

COMMENTS: When my Aunt, my mother, and i went to see the movie Mr. Bean, we loved it. Every part in the movie was just so funny. How Mr. Brean makes his face is just another funny movie by itself. So many people were in the movie theatre to see Mr. Bean, that there were no available seats for my Aunt, my mother and myself. But finally we did find some seats at the very front of the theatre. We loved the movie. And i hope there are more to come. |

looking forward to seeing a movie - finally! It was a little bit slow at first but really started to pick up about halfway through. Emma Roberts is a cute actress and my girls really enjoyed her.

Tom Anglim
STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 2 and 6
COMMENTS: Next is an intriguing who-done-it meets Doctor Who... appealed to Dad the Sci-Fi fan, and Mom the murder mystery fan (wishing it was Tom
Sellick, not Nick Cage with bad hair). As it turned out, we needed to bring our 6-year-old son (that wasn't plan-A) and he LOVED it, but only because we entertained his 500 or so questions. There is alot of gunfire but no blood, but despite that I do NOT recommend you bring a kid younger than 13 or so. It's a very complex plot, and YOU don't want to be too distracted. I am anxious to watch it again on DVD. |

Cheryle Charlonne
STARS:
CHILDREN AGES: 2
COMMENTS: The movie was one of the greatest movies we have seen this year! Easy for a 5 year old to follow along the plot was great the movie was not
to long or to short, just right. We just love Jodie Foster I remember her when I was a kid.We are the same age.
Gay Mason
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: nine
COMMENTS: Nims Island is James Bond meets Disney(for the cute animals and children). The lead actress is charming, engaging and a good example, so. The plot involves some rather far fetched ingenuity on her part that my nine year old twins questioned. However implausible the plot, it was weell done. Jodie Foster was a little too intense and the father, Dennis Quaid appeared shy on the brains, but was a adequate parent example. The boys enjoyed the action layered on the character plots. Who does not like trained seals and bearded dragans and pelicans?

CHILDREN AGES: 4 AND 7
COMMENTS: NIM'S ISLAND WAS AN ENJOYABLE FILM AIMED FOR KIDS AND PARENTS ALIKE. MY 7 AND 4 YEAR OLD BOYS ENJOYED THE MOVIE IMMENSELY. THE ACTING BY ALL MAIN CHARACTERS WERE GOOD. THE HURRICANE SCENE WAS NOT AS BAD AS ANTICIPATED. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE ENDING WHICH WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH.

STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 2
COMMENTS: This movie about a young girl who's mother is died, and her father takes care of her is heartwarming. Nim lives on an island with her father who is a marine biologist. He leaves for 2 days to search for a new species of plankton. While at sea, his boat is destroeyed by a storm, and he tries to find his way back to his NIm. Meanwhile, Nim's island is invaded by tourist, and her favorite author is her only link to getting help. This movie was adventureous and exciting. Though caution to lillte ones
for the movie can be frightening to them, and should be for the older children. The movie has a wonderful seal, and lizard to bring laughs. The battles are for any boy to rave about. Overall, Nim's island is a movie about where books can take you, and how facing your fears can make you stronger. My kids loved the movie, and were on the edges of their seats for most of it between the laughs.
Emily Tarntino
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 9
COMMENTS: I took my nine-year old daughter to see this movie, and she was engaged the whole time. Although I found it to be predictable, it was a great movie for children her age because she could relate to Nim and the frightening feeling of not knowing what's going to happen next. It was entertaining, and I'd highly recommend it.

CHILDREN AGES: 8 & 4
COMMENTS: My eight year old daughter and I really enjoyed this movie. There were good lessons about how much you can learn from reading and researching, also about self-sufficiency and staying calm in a crisis. We loved watching the Alex character overcome her fears (of everything). A nice break from violence, sex and dirty humor - nothing objectionable here. This was a great family movie, both kids and dad enjoyed it. |

COMMENTS: My daughters and I liked this movie however it was more drama than comedy. I appreciated that there wasn't any sex or foul language. The movie was slow at times.

COMMENTS: The movie was good and left everyone with tears in their eyes. The kitchen cooked up romance, comedy, and the joys of life. It shows you that you don't have to live a perfect life to be happy. Appreciate what you have before it's gone before your eyes

Ocean's 13 081707
Tom Anglim
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 6
COMMENTS: It has been said of the Hollywood film industry that a strong film sequal is needed to create a film series (James Bond, Star Trek,
etc.), but the second sequal better be VERY good to create a must-see, dynasty series. Ocean's 13 IS very strong. This surprisingly non-violent film does require the audience to pay attention (I kept my 2-year-old at home!) and also a working knowledge of casino games... but the pay off is a smart movie with a surprise waiting for you.

STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: Not as good as the original (of this series) Ocean's 11, but brings the series back to the humorous and fun antics of Daniel Ocean's group of guys trying to carry out a nearly impossible robbery that was lacking in Ocean's 12. 13 is definitely worth the $10 you will pay at the box office. |

CHILDREN AGES: 11 weeks
COMMENTS: A lot of action and not any sex, which I LOVED! A lot of movies today have too much nudity and profanity. This was a very good film that had neither. It kept me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out who the invaders were. |

| Pirates of the Caribbean--At World's End
053107 Sheryl Neal
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 19, 15
COMMENTS: Another very exciting episode full of special effects. Much like the second one, some confusing plot lines, scary creatures, and violence. Low cut gowns on some women. Leave the young kids at home but for the rest of you, enjoy. And like the first two, watch through the end of the credits.
Julie Nacar
STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: won't let them see
COMMENTS: Too many plots. Two plots could have been dropped and still have had several plots to make the movie interesting and entertaining. Instead, a muddle of confusion develops. Definately for older children. Marketing to young children and having too many scary scenes seems like they don't know who they make the movie for.
Rosy Lopez
STARS:
CHILDREN AGES: 6 and 12
COMMENTS: It was too long and the plot was confusing and hard to understand. My kids loved it, however. They thought it was awesome, adventurous, romantic and Orlando Bloon was really hot! They want to watch it again.

CHILDREN AGES: 22
COMMENTS: Once again, this was an enjoyable, fun Pirate's of the Caribbean movie. I got hooked on the first one, couldn't wait until the 2nd one, and quickly went to see the 3rd one. Could there be a 4th one? I didn't really understand the ending - I didn't like that Orlando Bloom (yummy!) died, so I guess we'll have to wait for the next installment to see what happens to him. It was a bit too long during the fighting sequence - about 30 minutes of that could have been cut out and no one would have missed it. Plus, it was so loud. During the first one, I loved Johnny Depp's character and hoped he got the girl, but Depp got goofier and more bizarre, so it was expected that Bloom would get her. Depp is an amazing actor, and I can't see any actor playing this part. Overall, the special effects (especially Davey Jones), the costumes, the acting, the scenes, all made this an enjoyable movie and I will be adding it to my DVD collection when available. Go see it if you liked the other 2 or like Johnny Depp or just want to have a good time at the movies.

STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: It is an interesting plot line. It is similar to the movie Momento. It really encompasses the decision to change your life when the moment comes. Major themes include the element of fate and the value of time. The ending avoids typical Hollywood endings.

CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: I am a Sandra Bullock fan and always look forward to her movies. This is a sad waste of her acting talent. The movie is so contrived that it comes off as ridiculous. The ending left me feeling cheated and sorry I wasted my time. I can not imagine teenagers enjoying this movie. |

STARS:
CHILDREN AGES: didn't go
COMMENTS: Starring Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler. I enjoyed most of the movie but I think it is one that you can rent instead of going to the movies. Hilary is a good actress and does a good job but the storyline is hard to believe and long... it is about a couple who have worries and concerns and argue about couple's things but she does come off as somewhat selfish and needy even from the beginning of the movie. Although, who is too say that when one's loved one dies you can't be needy or depressed for however long it takes you? How one should react or how long it should take to...
Wendy Werner
STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: This was a great film-a very good depection of the sadness and withdrawl a bereaved spouse may go through. Having several friends who've
lost their spouses, I can totally understand the actions of 'Holly' in the movie. I saw this with a guy friend and he loved it too. I won't lie-it wasn't much of a comedy as it was a tear-jerker, but it was well done nonetheless. I'm going to buy this movie when it comes out on DVD!

COMMENTS: This much awaited movie was great! My four year old and I (as well as my 58 year old father) loved the film! After seeing this animated flick, she has been commenting about my time in the kitchen, which was what drew me in in the first place. There is truly something for everyone, and some great lessons, too!

Sylvia Esqueda
STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES: 4 ,5, 13
COMMENTS: We enjoyed the movie it was a very cute and funny movie about a rat. Although I would not want any of my kids bringing rats home to cook for us it was cute. I think Kermit and Ms Piggy were in a scene where rats were cooking and sliding on squares of butter on a griddle to make pancakes or something at a local grill in New York. It was cool to watch them cook because they were puppets. A parent had to remove her toddler from the scene where all the rats fall from the ceiling in the old grandmother home. That sort of gave me the creeps also to see so many rats in one place looking for a place to hide. The color could have been improved, such as, in the movie Nemo, that was really awesome color! Although this movie with its alleys and streets did'nt lend itself to the brillance of color shown in the movie Nemo.

STARS: 5
CHILDREN AGES: 10years and 7years
COMMENTS: This movie is destined to become a true classic. The storyline was hilarious. My children loved it but what made it so fun for me was I was laughing as hard as they were. For a movie to appeal to different generations like this is rare. Watch this movie and prepare to love all the endearing characters and comedy.

RUSH HOUR 3 HAD TOO MUCH SEXUAL INNUENDOS, AND THERE IS ONE SCENES THAT WAS NC17 (No Children 17 & under). DUE TO THIS SCENES, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE FOR ADULTS AND MATURE, OLDER TEENS (17+).

COMMENTS: We saw this movie on Mommy Thursday. The movie was entertaining, but didn't have more than about 5 parts that really made me chuckle. Having the women of the movie save the day was new and interesting. My daughter said it was a very good new mommy movie. I thought it showed a very real side to the big green guy. P.S. I thought for sure the new king was Prince Charming's son. Maybe in # 4. Well worth seeing, amazing what they can do with a cartoon now a days!

STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 8 & 13
COMMENTS: The overall movie rating I gave was 3 stars, due to the length of the film and the dead area at the beginning of the movie. I did enjoy the later half, with all of the fight scenes. Not as good as the first two in the series.
Richard Espiritu
STARS: 3
CHILDREN AGES: 6
COMMENTS: Well the movie started off strong but seemed to taper off with emphasis on characters emotions. My daughter who is 6 doesn't identify with that kind of content too much. She was looking forward to alot of action and fantasy that has her going WOW! At times she seemed a little scared with some scenes but for the most part enjoyed the film in general. Hopefully there will be a 4th installment to make up for it with all of the original cast returning...
George Yee
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 12 + 15
COMMENTS: The movie was good. It was an action packed movie full of thrills and heroic adventures. You don't have to be a comic book lover in order to get the message. there were many valuable life lessons that would help how you determine life and the actions you take. If you want to make an impact on your kid's life this one would be good. It's sort of a vicious movie, so viewers beware. You have been warned.
Stacey
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 7
COMMENTS: The movie as a whole was very good, but there are far too many scenes that I feel just stretched the movie out timewise without truly adding anything to the plot. At least 45 minutes could have been cut from the movie without losing any of the action or plot.

CHILDREN AGES:
COMMENTS: Definately more adult than the old cartoon I used to watch. Plot was not as involved as I thought it was going to be. It was more about the boy and girl than about the struggle between the evil and good Transformers. Some good humour though and clever dialogue. Definately a show to be seen in a theater. Don't wait for it to come out on rental, it just won't be the same.

STARS: 3

COMMENTS: The Visitor is a touching movie that addresses both the injustic of the US immigration system and personal discovery. The main character, Walter is just going through the motions of life rather than actually Living life. He encounters a couple living in his apartment, who are fearful of being caught by immigration. With this couple Walter awakens, reconnecting with his love of music. The Visitor is a sad story, that is at the same time, hopeful.

COMMENTS: I thought the movie was excellent. It showed true friendship between the kid and his sea creature. A good movie to get a laugh out with your kids.
Joy Reyes
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 6 and 7
COMMENTS: I thought the movie was dark in the Narnia/Willie Wonka sense as are many movies set in Europe circa 1940. But the overall bonding between
the main character and his sister and a very good looking groundskeeper/handyman was charming. I got the Free-Willie euphoria seeing the Water Horse (Lochness Monster) escape the pursuing army. Some humor, not very musical or colorful but my kids liked it because of the animals (Water Horse and bulldog).

Tom Anglim
STARS: 4
CHILDREN AGES: 20-months
COMMENTS: My wife, 20-month-old son and I saw this at the UltraStar Cinema in Hazard Center, and before the movie was over we were sore from
laughing. It really seemed like the four main actors were having alot of fun filming, similar to the Rat Pack movies of yesteryear. Additionally, the more-than-cameo roles provided by Marissa Tomei and Ray Liotta added more laughs. John Travolta seems like he was having fun, although his near-constant state of anxiety got a bit old. Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence were their usual funny selves, and Bill Macy was a surprise hit playing a slightly over-the-hill comedic second banana with gusto. The recurring homophobic episodes were starting to get annoying, but overall the movie was a very fun event.
