CW30 Movie Reviews

The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is not a special effects action movie, but more like a melodrama or a Greek tragedy, complete with a litany of moral dillemnas suited for the main characters and the audience. It's also one of the best films of the year.
Mama Mia!
For all of us who thought the movie musical died long ago, there's hope in the form of Mama Mia!, the new film adaptation of the broadway play based on the music of ABBA.
Space Chimps
To dub Space Chimps as "substandard" may be a little too generous.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Hellboy II is a masterpiece of imaginative special effects, humorous dialog and exceptional character development. It can be silly at times, but overall, it shows what can be done by people with talent and unique imagination.
Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
The 3D gimmickry in Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D does wear thin in a hurry and what we're left with is a movie rife with special effects, silly dialog and a pretty silly story (no offense to Mr. Verne).
