(Merlin) Fun throw-away comedy movie. Bit of a "heist-movie" flavor with some good laughs.
(Michele) I loved this movie. It was fun. It was: see bad things do happen, this is how you can overcome it. My kind of overcoming. lol. Although seeing Téa makes me want to do situps to look as good as her!

(Merlin) SUPER effects. The CG effects in this movie are amazing! Excellent retelling of the classic tale. Jack Black's performance is awe-inspiring as the sleazy movie producer. Incredible feeling of being in the time. The only stumbling block I felt was Naomi Watts' interaction with Kong... seemed a bit off. Perhaps the challenge of working with a non-existant costar made her over-act it.
(Michele) Very cool movie. I loved the old style of it, but with new CGI. I cried. Even though, I know the story. I think Naomi was trying to portray that she understood Kong, that she really cared for him. Perhaps the director felt that needed to be said; not just some dumb blond that a great ape has an infatuation with. It's not about the looks, it's about the feeling.

(Merlin) Wow. Excellent vision of the classic book. Amazing effects, excellent acting. Tilda Swinton (who also played Gabriel in Constantine) is AWESOME as the White Witch, and Liam Neeson's voice is perfect for Aslan. I would say this movie's not for young kids, due to realistic violence and some intense imagry.
(Michele) I loved this movie. It wasn't long enough though. I think that it needs more. I want more! This is a movie for all ages, but, I wouldn't let young children see it in the theater; it's best to talk it over when bad things happen. :) Very intense! Really cool fantasy.
