One kid spells trouble, dirtiness and disorder for fathers that have just lost their loving wives. Imagine that same task with seven rowdy children. Not easy! Who is there to take care of the children? Nanny McPhee. Set in a place somewhere between the early 1900’s and the land of make-believe, the story of the father, seven children and an ugly nurse come together. Families across America are in need of this type of movie. A movie that shows the strength of what being together means. A movie that shows children that their parents love them, no matter what the circumstances are. Universal’s rendition of Emma Thompson’s original screen play brings back memories of the old, great classics that have endured the ages, minus the singing, of course. Overall, a great effort, a good story and a few good actors make this a great family movie for anyone that has gone through a rough time. Rating: 4 stars
Based on a tale of the human heart, End of the Spear is much more than a story. It is a movie that speaks to the mind and the emotions. Missionary families living in Ecuador in the 1970’s having been trying to contact the Waodani tribe for many years now. The Waodani are known for their aggressiveness, labeled the most ferocious group of people in history. The aggressiveness is displayed when the tribe takes the lives of the male group that is trying to bring the words of the Christian religion to the tribe. Instead of packing up and leaving the country, the families see no choice but to continue the work of their husbands and fathers. They go to live with the Waodoni tribe. The sheer fact of living with the people every day that killed someone you loved is mind-boggling. Amazingly enough, friendship and happiness are found. Being a low budget film, the director (Jim Hanon) did well with what he had. Some of the native actors are extremely talented, and the script is one that is capable of being Oscar-worthy. This is a good movie for the heart and mind, a definite go see. Rating: 4 stars
Continuing the saga began in 2001 by Underworld, Evolution brings nothing new to the table. The last movie ended with a lot of questions balancing in the air. A sequel was a no-brainer. There is a point when questions left unanswered are fine. There doesn’t need to be a whole second movie about the werewolves and vampires and other things that go bump in the night. Yes, seeing Kate Beckinsale in a tight leather suit for the length of two hours is fine for some people. But, if that is all a movie offers, you can bet a lot is missing, such as character complexion, or even dialogue that penetrates deeper than surface conversation. This has become an age of action movies that has only action and nothing else. For that type of movie, Evolution is great. However, every action movie of this day and age just lack a lot to be desired. Rating: 3 stars
