The Spiderwick Chronicles

If you enjoyed Bridge to Terabithia you'll probably like this.

I didn't like either.

This isn't a bad movie, but it's not a good one. The plot revolving around some two-dimensional kids who discover a secret magical book. Before too long mythological creatures show up and predictable plot complications ensue. It's not that I don't recommend this movie. It's that it doesn't give me a reason to recommend it.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Howard Ford (2007)
Should I see it?
Nope.



They've turned the Wild West into the Wandering, Talks Too Much West.

If you think the title is needlessly drawn out, wait until you see the movie. It has now been proven, you can take one of the most interesting and infamous criminals in American history and turn him into a yammering, and boring she-male. The intentions when making this film may have been good but the results are dismal. For those of you looking for a traditional Western, you're clean out of luck. This isn't a Western, it simply takes place in that time frame. If you're looking for a headier work, you're still going to come up dry. All this movie is offering is two hours and twenty minutes of talented actors drawling through long tracts of dialog for no real purpose. I kept getting the feeling that this was the result of a bunch of effete snobs wandering in the woods telling each other how smart they are.
