C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia" is one of the most beloved series of children's books of all time.
The film adaptations, however, just don't seem to be catching on. Though
well made and generously budgeted, the series just doesn't have that
epic sheen, that sense of wonderment that can engross an audience and

"The Next Three Days" is a gripping suspense drama, combining themes of
morality and rationality with the timeless intrigue of a prison break.
Well-acted and effectively shot, its narrative shortcomings are
overshadowed by standout performances from Russell Crowe and
Elizabeth Banks.

"Deathly Hallows" is one of "Potter's" more bittersweet entries - bitter
in the sense that it's somehow devoid of the inherent wonder and, well,
magic of its predecessors; but sweet in that its actors have literally
grown into their roles, delivering emotional and thoughtful performances
fitting for the material.

Director Tony Scott continues his love affair with Denzel Washington and

Funny enough, whenever I hear "Clint Eastwood," I think of the
subway scene in 'Crocodile' Dundee 2, where star Paul Hogan is mistaken by a couple Japanese
