This final showdown between Harry and Lord Voldemort – we can actually say his name now – will keep you on the edge of your seat with its nonstop action and unraveled secrets. But there is very little of the early magic that penetrates the gray darkness casting its pall on this ultimate battle between good and evil.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a smorgasbord of a film filled to the brim with old favorites and new delights. The splendid Hogwarts School sparkles with medieval majesty and mayhem, the eccentric professors inspire awe, that piquant dish of wonder peppered with dread, while tried friends and old enemies test the murky waters of adolescence.
Julia Roberts, that coltish beauty with the 100-mega watt smile, is the perfect actress to play the lead role in Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir about her yearlong spiritual quest. Ms. Roberts transforms what otherwise might be seen as self-indulgent into the stuff dreams are made of, just as she elevated prostitution to a higher plane in Pretty Woman.
Shrek the Third is like that Happy Meal overloaded with salt, fat, and calories. Your kids will love it, but you know better. What you see as stale jokes are endearingly familiar to the tots; creativity turned to cliché doesn’t bother them at all, and wandering story lines are not unlike their own hiking habits.
Sometimes it takes a four-legged creature to remind us what it means to be human, to pursue our dreams and to reconnect to those who never stopped loving us. You’ll find something for all ages in this timeless tale of a crippled racehorse and how she heals a family that is, in a sense, as broken down as she is.
