Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

☆☆☆1/2

+
A Fun Adventure
Attention to Detail (cars, clothes, expressions, etc.)
Cate Blanchett can do anything!

-
Sometimes it's just too silly.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

☆☆1/2

+
Limited GRAPHIC violence.
The children have improved as actors.

-
The story doesn't have the same magic as "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
The special effects fell short of "The Lion..." as well.

The Visitor

☆☆☆☆1/2

+
"The Visitor" is my favorite movie of 2008 (as of May).
This is an original and moving story.
Richard Jenkins' performance is "real."

The ending is perfect.

-
Even though the ending is perfect, you'll want more.

Iron Man

☆☆☆

+
Robert Downey Jr. is well-cast as lead character, Tony Stark.
Comic book fans will be pleased.

-
Keep the little ones at home.
This movie is too violent for small children.

Baby Mama

☆☆☆

+
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make a great team.
Amy Poehler hits all the right "comedic notes."

-
A few confusing scenes with the doorman.
