Race to Witch Mountain


1 hour, 39 minutes
Rated PG

The first few minutes were a lot of flashy UFO sightings and hurt my eyes. The movie has some good action scenes Disney style, but also some poor acting. It's a good movie for kids but the violence was high for this type of movie. The original was better. -Adam

"Race to Witch Mountain" is about a taxi driver in Las Vegas who ends up helping two aliens complete their mission. If you've ever seen to old "Witch Mountain" movies, those were better. It was kind of cheesy, but typical for a Disney movie. There were some funny parts and good action sequences. -Jenni

Rating scale: None, Minor, Mild, Moderate, Heavy, and Extreme
Drugs- None
Immodesty- None
Immorality- None
Language- None
Violence- Moderate

Has suspense and it's intense.
Slightly romantic.

The Soloist



116 minutes
US Rating: PG-13
Canadian Home Video Rating: PG

Some good orchestra music, but crazy movie. After the movie, I felt grateful I am not crazy or homeless. The main character is very kind to a stranger which is also good to learn from. It's a good movie to learn about schizophrenia. An emotionally moving film. -Adam

"The Soloist" is about a homeless musician and the renowned newspaper columnist who befriends him. -Jenni

Drugs - Mild
Immodesty- None
Immorality- None
Language- Minor
Violence- Mild

Music- Excellent

No climax in the story was apparent. Good character development and acting.
Weird. Serious but original.

17 Again

Starring Zac Efron
PG-13
102 minutes



It is a great movie that teaches good principles. There is even a light saber battle. -Adam

Good movie. I like. A man in his late 30's, whose life isn't going the way he had dreamed, is given the chance to relive his glory days of high school. -Jenni

Immorality Mild
Violence Mild
Bad language Mild
Immodesty Mild
Alcohol/Drugs Minor

Good acting by Efron.
Smart and inventive plot.
Funny.
Not terribly romantic.
The worst part of the movie was the mild language and occasional reference to sex.
