Race To Witch Mountain

[Dan1089]

After enjoying the relative emptiness and quiet of the "Watchmen" theatre,we found ourselves crowded by trumpeting bloodthirsty tweens and their maniac mothers.The children in this movie however were a joy,great performers and the Rock?Well put him in a tight tee and I could very well give him an Oscar.This one is an adaptation of a much older (and more eerie) movie and I believe the diff is the extraterrestial element in this one.In fact,the extraterrestial part plays a very significant role in the storyline.Dwayne Johnson plays a taxi driver who tasks himself with job of protecting siblings from a really dangerous threat and in doing so save humanity,how original.Like I said,the plot might not been original and Dakota Fanning already has the t-shirt for the "adolescent in alien invasion" experience but theres something diff about this one,it must be the performances from the kids.Don't go to see this if you're on a serious date or dating Anderson Cooper for that matter but if you were feeling just like I was today (silly,quirky & a bit hungry),please do!

Not even heard of the original version, Dan.... Don't know that it would be my cup of tea. Anyone heard of or seen The Lair???

[COLOR="Purple"]The original was a very well done Disney... nearly made for tv but still well done flick Escape to Witch Mountain (1975)

How was the CGI Dan? ANY DICK [/COLOR]
