Movie Reviews

J

Cute idea, and Robin Williams is hilarious as always, but the middle to near end gets a little long and inappropriate.  Jack is aging at 4 times the rate a normal person ages physically, and at the tender age of ten decides he wants to go to school.  His personal tutor is Bill Cosby, and he is also good in this film.  Not a movie for kids, they will not appreciate or understand the implications of the situations.  Rated PG-13

Scary thriller about a giant great white shark that is terrorizing a beach community.  Excellent acting, directing, and musical score add to a great story.  Too scary for little kids, great for older kids!! Rated PG
*****

Sequel to Romancing the Stone, and a disruption to the happily ever after image we are used to.  Joan dumps Jack on his boat and runs off to North Africa to write a book.  The book deal isn't what she thought, and Jack has to come to her rescue once again.  Not as great as Romancing the Stone, but an ok movie.  Rated PG
