Napoleon Dynamite 
By Karishma and Kashmira Patel, 12th grade,
November 18, 2004
Quite frankly, this is the funniest movie we have ever seen. However, not everyone will find it so amusing. It’s an original comedy about a geeky high school boy, Napoleon Dynamite. He has only two friends, a foreign kid named Pedro, and the girl he has a crush on, Deb
Spiderman 2
By Karishma and Kashmira Patel, 12th grade, September 23 , 2004
What’s up, Doc? Doctor Octopus, that is. Doc Oc plays the ultimate villain in this summer’s most anticipated movie. Apart from the whole saving-the-city-part-time job, Peter Parker is still madly in love with Mary-Jane Watson. He’s torn between being a hero and a normal person. The city doesn’t appreciate the hard work Spiderman puts into saving lives, and it sees him as a villain.

No cursed Firebolt, no butterbeer, and no Gryffindor team captain,
Oliver Wood. Although there are quite a few changes from the book
version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the movie is,
as Fred and George Weasley would put it, "spanking good!"
Mean
Girls Rated
PG-13

They're
everywhere: Mean Girls, that is. Lindsay Lohan stars in a PG-13
rated comedy about what it's like to be the new girl trying to fit
in. This movie depicts the life of a typical high school girl...except
for the fact that she's from Africa and has always been home-schooled.
In this movie, lots of laughs balance out a few valuable lessons
that many girls today don't realize. However, everyone who watches
this movie, not just girls, should remember this: It's not what
you look like on the outside, but who you are on the inside that's
important. Ka$h and Kari give two thumbs up to Mean Girls, a world
of catfights, name-calling, and pranks!
The
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring The Movie to Rule
Them All

The Christmas season, a time associated with peace, love
and . . . the release of multiple epic fantasy movies? Even though
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring burst onto
the screens weeks after that other fantasy movie—awash with
wizards, magic, and evil creatures hidden in the darkness—the
epic journey of Frodo and his Middle-earth companions seems anything
but second-hand.

Rated: PG By Lisa Fultz, December

When Director Chris Columbus
set out to bring the magical first book of the Harry Potter series to the big screen, he
had to depict a magical journey and adventure that even a name like his would have
difficulty living up to. But could a man with the same name as a famous discoverer unearth
the perfect solution to creating images exactly as every individual reader of the series
envisioned?
Third
time's not the charm - The latest "Crocodile Dundee" movie fails
to deliver
By Lisa Fultz, June 12, 2001
Australian Paul Hogan returns
to the big screen in the 21st century to headline another shot at success in Crocodile
Dundee in Los Angeles. The well-intentioned flick is aimed at a younger audience with its
lack of nudity and minor violence, yet this new generation of science fiction loving kids
is most likely unaware of the 1980's phenomenon that was the rough and tough outdoorsman.
