Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader | 89 | Wonderful. Beautiful, with a good story. The young actors were excellent. Georgie Henley (Lucy) has really grown. Skandar Keynes (Edmund) is a wonderful actor. And the 3D was immersive, not distracting. |
Inception | 93 | Complex, mystifying, excellent. I expect I will see it several more times. Will I change my mind about the end? Depends on how much I think Nolan cares about Point of View… |
Mamma Mia! | 74 | This was fun! It took a few moments to get going, but once it started, it kept delivering: smiles, laughs and songs. Stay through the first set of end credits! |
I Am Legend | 78 | Saw the alternate version. A completely different feel when the movie ends. Like both ways. Alternate makes some things fit more. Theatrical feels more like the story would have been. |
Star Trek | 90 | Initially reviewed in Edition 32.
A thrill-ride. By the time we were 30 minutes in, I was already convinced I want to see more of this cast in these characters. Yes, it’s a re-visioning of the characters. But it fits. It’s great fun! (Sarah needed to see this.) |
Joy Luck Club (The) | 70 | Four older women who came from China, each with a fully American daughter. Their stories, each hard in its own way. Very good. Touching. |
How to Train Your Dragon | 91 | Every bit as good as people said it was. I can forgive the Vikings with Scottish accents, because the rest of it was basically flawless. I wish I had seen it in 3-D. I will own this movie. |
