Today’s DVDs: American Girl, Tinkerbell
It’s a pretty quiet week for DVDs, but there are a couple of interesting offerings today:
Journey to the Center of the Earth: I heard reviews of this movie go two ways: “Entertaining junk” and just plain “junk.” The DVD is available in a 3D version, but beware: it uses those red and blue glasses that can cause a headache that’s this big.
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl: This very solid, unassuming little film, based on the much-loved doll line, should have attracted a bigger audience than it did last summer. It gets a little too silly by the end, but the movie is very charming, thanks to a strong cast led by kid actress du jour Abigail Breslin, who has been quietly proving her Oscar nomination for Little Miss Sunshine was no fluke. For more details, check out the full review, written by me and my favorite American Girl fan, Angela Allen, who, like Kit, is quite a talented writer. GRADE: B
Tinkerbell: Usually I turn up my nose at Disney’s direct-to-home-viewing titles, most of which are mediocre at best. However, I’m actually curious about this tale of Peter Pan’s little lady, because I’ve heard Disney’s creative chief, John Lasseter, talk it up, and I trust his judgment.
