Lowest Recommended Age:Mature High Schooler
Movie Release Date:2005

Take a 1930′s movie detective, a guy who shoots straight and talks tough. You know, the kind of guy who may have a soft spot for a dame in a jam but that doesn’t necessarily mean he believes what she [...]

Because of Winn-Dixie

Lowest Recommended Age:Kindergarten - 3rd Grade
Movie Release Date:2005

This story of a girl, a dog, and the lessons they teach a small southern town is appealing but a bit heavy-handed, starting right at the beginning. It leads off with the sugary cliche trifecta: voice-over narration telling us how [...]

Diary of a Mad Black Woman

Lowest Recommended Age:Mature High Schooler
Movie Release Date:2005

Three separate movies collide in this uneven but heartfelt drama of a woman done wrong who has to learn to rely on herself for the first time. The first movie is a soapy, syrupy, over-the-top “women suffering in fabulous clothes” [...]

“Is Hitch a noun or a verb?” Sarah (Eva Mendes) asks Alex “Hitch” Hitchens (Will Smith). “It depends,” he answers. It’s actually a little of both. Hitch is a “date doctor,” a sort of Straight Eye for the Straight Guy [...]

Fast & Furious 6
The storylines of the "Fast and Furious" franchise may be preposterous, but what's even harder to believe is that, contrary to the history of just about every other multi-sequel series and what I thought were the laws of nature, these keep getting better. There's something of a pattern at this point

What Maisie Knew
She has the face of a flower and she still believes that the world is an enchanted place that cannot hurt her.  She does not understand what is going on around her, but we do. Her name is Maisie (the exquisite Onata Aprile).  She is seven and she lives in New York with her parents, a fading roc

Interview: Scott McGehee and David Siegel of "What Maisie Knew"
"What Maisie Knew" is a touching, beautifully acted new movie starring Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan as a couple breaking up but the story is seen through the eyes of their little girl.  I spoke to the directors, Scott McGehee and David Siegel, about the film.  Remarkably, though it is set in th

Contest: Bink & Gollie
I am always especially excited to have one of the fabulous Scholastic Storybook DVDs to give away, and this one is extra important for families because it is about what it means to be a friend.  This all-new compilation is headlined by “Bink & Gollie” from Kate DiCamillo, the Newbery Medal
