A good, if wholly predictable, family movie. Having swam with dolphins in the past, I can't help but be in awe of the creatures. My wife cried at parts, which is the mark of a good movie for her.

A time loop mystery movie with plenty of intrigue and an extremely human element. Jake Gyllenhaal is great in his role, while the supporting cast doesn't get in the way. Some holes exist in the story, but the plot is brisk enough to overcome them.

Excellent baseball drama that resonates with fans (me) and non-fans (my wife) alike. We spent 20 minutes on Wikipedia after the movie learning more about Billy Beane and the A's once it was done - a sign of a great flick.

ET for those who were kids when the original came out in 1982 and want something fresh and updated on the same theme. A good mix of military conspiracy and hidden monster menace, with an excellent emotional payoff.

An unsettling look at racism and segregation in 1960's Mississippi. Almost painful to watch at times, but in a good way. Searing and heartfelt, my wife and I had to pause a few times to gather our thoughts. How was this normal only 50 years ago?

A completely average family movie only worth watching if you grew up watching the Smurfs cartoon. Some genuinely funny moments balanced out by painfully corny segments. Decent mix of CG and human actors.

Smarter than the average Hollywood fare, with a wonderful dystopian twist. Leaves as many questions as it answers, and makes for some great watercooler chats.

Strange, touching, and intellectually stimulating. Far better than the short story from which it was adapted.
