Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Even from the beginning, you can tell it's a new director... but you won't care. Many have said this is the 'darkest' of the films, but I found it to be the funniest. Lots of clever & cute little moments. And no magic lost. A real treat! Go see it!

Shrek 2
Go see this with someone who thinks that movies can't be funny anymore. You'll laugh from beginning to end. More adult humor than kid humor - so beware of that before you go. I actually think this makes a great date film. So grab your honey & have a good laugh with our favorite ogre!

The Terminal
This was a big disappointment because it's nearly impossible for me to not like a film that Tom Hanks is in. I suppose my short review would be summed up as "A good film that lacks the *magic* to be a great film." Save for the rental.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Not Worth Seeing...

The Day After Tomorrow
I suppose you won't be disappointed if you like the 'typical blockbuster' that is 99% about special-effects and 1% about big stars and the other 1% story. There's a lot to make fun of in this one - so it'll be fun to watch when it makes its way to TBS on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
NONE

KEY:
4 PIECES OF POPCORN: EXCELLENT. RUSH OUT NOW TO SEE THIS ONE.
3 PIECES: GREAT. BETTER THAN MOST OF WHAT'S OUT NOW.
2 PIECES: WORTH SEEING.
1 PIECE: WAIT FOR THE RENTAL.
NONE: I WASTED MY MONEY ON THIS ONE, DON'T WASTE YOURS.
