Zathura
Older brother Walter (Josh Hutcherson) and the younger Danny (Jonah Bobo) are constantly at war with one another, bickering over the mediating voice of their long-suffering father (Tim Robbins). When he has to go to the office to replace some papers the boys destroyed in their crossfire, he leaves them in the dubious care of older sister Lisa (Kristen Stewart), who is sleeping upstairs. When Danny discovers an old board game called Zathura stored in the basement, his excitement is lost on Walter, who has no time for such old, boring toys. Soon, however, the game becomes impossible to ignore, as the boys are transported into space, and one of them must win in order to make it home again...

Favreau and his effects team have fun with the retro-futurist stylings of the game....The relatively restrained use of computer imagery is refreshing...

In the enchanted limbo between waking and sleeping, ZATHURA feels both real and unreal, like a dream you could shake off at any moment.

A good children's film
A similar idea of a film as Jumanji: adventuros and entertaining. However, Jumanji works better as Robin Williams gives a funny approach to the film. Zathura is more of a boys film as it is a space adventure. Different from Harry Potter and Narnia, which appeal to several age groups, this film will probably work for up to 16 year olds. It contains beautiful shots and special effects and it was quite funny at times. At one point there is a twist with a good moral, which many of us can relate to. Other than that, quite predictable. Works once, but it is not a film I would watch a second time.

Iron Man
- 01 May 2008
Iron Man rocks. At least that's how it feels in a packed cinema, with the sound cranked up, for long swathes of the night. A kind of Batman-Robocop cross, but with a special interest in the international arms trade, Iron Man may not be as well known as some of the other Marvel superheroes ' he's making his film debut here ' but he's been around for nearly half a century. Stan Lee introduced him in 1963, in the person of inventor-industrialist Tony Stark. Stark fell into the clutches of the... Read more
