Sometimes I feel this place is becoming ncmhp's (useless) movie review site. Fear not - this will almost certainly be one of the last few, after which it's back to the books over in cold Boston.

Two reviews for the length of one - I mean, not much to talk about these.

Bewitched - Despite what certain publications may say, and what your friends might say about this movie, I believe that this movie is better than Charlie. For one, it achieves the goal of being light-hearted and humorous, unlike Charlie, which is horrendously dragged down by the sub-plot of Willy Wonka's dad.

Although I think most of the plot is expected to frequent movie viewers and critics, the execution is decent and provides many laughs.

This was never a movie which was intended to be deep - it's goal was to be a humorous, fast-paced comedy that didn't dwell too much on serious themes, and in my opinion, it is done pretty well. 3.5 / 5.

Valiant - This animated flick about hero carrier pigeons is slated to come up August 18, and well, what I think, is that if you miss it you aren't missing much.

For one, the movie is TOO SHORT. It's barely over an hour long. Even Madagascar was longer!

Secondly, what is this movie trying to achieve? Is it trying to be funny? Is it trying to be a take on the toughness of War? Is it trying to teach a moral about the (human or pigeon) spirit? In my opinion, it tries to do all three, and in the end falls flat on its face trying to do too much in a short period of time.

Other than that, this is a decent movie to bring the kids to, but no more than that. 2.5 / 5.
