TYLER
PERRY'S - MEET THE BROWNS Review by Crystal Turner Normally a big fan of Tyler Perry, but this one fell a little short. Also a fan of Angela Bassett, but she seemed too old to play the part of the mother. Some humorous moments, but jokes heard over and over. Not a definite must see, but alright. Rated PG-13 - Sexual innuendo, language |

PIRATES
OF THE CARIBBEAN - AT WORLDS END Loved it! Not as good as the first, but much better than the second. Was cool to see Keith Richards as Capt. Jack Sparrow's dad. Johnny Depp is truly the coolest ! The special effects were awesome in this one. Don't care what the critics say, see it for yourself and be the judge. Rated PG-13 - Maybe for the piratirical (is that a word?) violence. |

APOCALYPTO Okay, will admit this. Watched in on DVD, and I couldn't figure out how to get the subtitles so I ended up watching the whole 2hours and 18 minutes in Mayan ! I loved this movie, even though I didn't understand the language: you still get the gist of what is going on. The movie is very violent, but a great story. Personally I think ole Mel did a great job. High adventure, good story line, and great scenery. Rated R - Graphic violence, Can't tell if there was cursing *grins* |

THE
PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS
One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Will Smith gives a great dramatic performance of a man struggling to make a better life for his son and himself. Never giving up the dream of pursuing his goal, and finally achieving it, even though all the odds are stacked against him. A great film for people of all ages. A feel good movie that makes you want to cheer for the underdog. Rated PG - Some Language (very little) |

INVINCIBLE
Disney pulls it off again! Exceptional movie, with a message of hopes and dreams realized. Mark Wahlberg plays the part of Vince Papale to a tee. Movie about football? Sure. Movie about life? Absolutely. This is one of those movies that: 1.) You wish was longer, and 2.) makes you smile when you leave the theater, and 3.) stays with you long after you've eaten that last kernel of buttered popcorn! Rated PG - Not sure why, nothing particularly "offensive" ! |

THE
DA VINCI CODE Thought provoking mystery regarding the Holy Grail. I can see how many religious zealots might be upset with the content of the movie, I just saw it as a great mystery. Tom Hanks was excellent, and the twists and turns of the plot kept me guessing all the time. The character of the psychopathic albino monk totally creeped me out ! Rated PG-13 - Disturbing images, some nudity, violence, and some sexual content. |

RV
Certainly not one of Robin Williams best, but mildly entertaining. Actually the supporting cast of Jeff Daniels and Kristen Chenoweth were good choices to play wacky on the road acquaintances to Robin Williams dysfunctional family. Even though I have seen better movies it's a good clean family movie, and will give young people a good laugh. Rated PG -innuendo, and crude humor |

RENT
Loved it! Although this movie might not be for younger teens. The subject content is a little mature, and some of the language a little raw. But the music is awesome, and some of the actors stand out more than others. I particularly like Rosario Dawson's role as Mimi. Something so vulnerable about her role. It's basically a movie about LIVING. You won't be disappointed! Rated PG-13 - Language, mature content |
