Books & Movies of the Month - December 2007

12/26/07
The Waterhorse. Good movie. Not as much a kids movie as I thought. Much more adult oriented plot then what the trailers portrayed. I'm not going to spoil it by giving any plot lines. Let's just say there are major characters and events that aren't even hined at in the trailers. The actual Waterhorse effects are done well.

Alvin and the Chipmunks. It's all about the Chipmunks. Forget Dave and his life crisis. That's just there to maybe appeal to adults. As an adult, OK, that might be debatable, it didn't do anything for the story. Nether did the eye candy girlfriend. It was fun, it made me laugh, it made me sing some old and new songs. It made my daughter giggle a lot. That's all that counts.

The Golden Compass. Although I liked the movie, I found it diverged or twisted the plot meanings from the book quite a bit. Also, the action flow was very stilted. Set scene. Stop. Switch. Set scene. Stop. Switch. Very annoying. OK, on second thought, maybe the movie wasn't as good as I thought.

I'll give it
