Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Those sword-swinging, ninja star-slinging mutant turtles are back for another rough-and-tumble rumble.
The Karate Kid
A quarter-century after Mr. Miyagi schooled Daniel LaRusso in the ways of “wax on, wax off,” The Karate Kid is back … with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan fleshing out the story’s key roles.
The Perfect Wave
Clint Eastwood’s son Scott is Ian McCormack, an aimless surfer who impulsively decides to travel the world’s most exotic surf locations in this faith-based flick.
Earth to Echo
A direct descendant of E.T., The Goonies and Stand by Me, this rollicking old-school adventure about four tweens and their new alien friend offers up some themes that will make your heart glow … and a few things to talk about before you phone home.
How to Train Your Dragon 2
So while How to Train Your Dragon 2 is every bit as entertaining and engaging as its predecessor, it’s traded some of the whimsical, childlike wonder for a more nuanced examination of good and evil.
Zathura: A Space Adventure
What’s Zathura? If you’re playing the game, it’s the place you land on to win. But really it’s the place brothers end up at after they finally stop bickering.
Million Dollar Arm
At least the flick does eventually find its way ’round all the right bases. It crosses home plate with a long-ball message of scorning lust and lucre for family and friendship.
A Long Way Off
It’s once again wine, women and song for the Prodigal Son. But this guy adds hot stock from a video game company and hip modern-day threads to the mix.
Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return
This pic looks much more like a direct-to-DVD tyke trifle than anything approaching feature film fare. But it’s still a little emerald bauble that deserves a second look from moms and dads.
Moms’ Night Out
In fact, this pic works so well that I’ve got a feeling Moms’ Night Out will make many a real-world date night or girls’ getaway into a chuckle-worthy time.
