  • Fred Claus Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 12, 2007 10:44am EST
    Fred Claus is pure Vince Vaughn hijinks—but the PG, family-friendly mode may not be his most advantageous venue.
  • Stardust Review
    By: Robert Sims August 13, 2007 11:38am EST
    Stardust is so witty, enchanting and romantic, it’s destined to become The Princess Bride of the Harry Potter generation. 
  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 23, 2007 10:07am EST

    By: Kit Bowen January 27, 2006 9:32am EST
    As far as movies about enchanting nannies go, Mary Poppins is certainly the classic favorite. But the delightfully quirky and heartwarming Nanny McPhee could be a close second.

    By: Kit Bowen May 06, 2005 4:52am EST
