  Snooping Through Little Black Book

If you recall the teen-targeted Mean Girls from a couple of months ago, then you'll understand when we say the best way to describe Little Black Book is "Mean Girls for adults." This is one book you should crack open before heading to the theater with your teens.

  This Guy's Got A Big Hairy Secret

If someone peeked in Wilby Daniels little black book, they might have found some interesting entries... like an appointment with the vet! Seeing as secrets are on the big screen this week, we wanted to come up with a family friendly film that features a secret revelation. Check out our Family Movie Night review of Walt Disney's The Shaggy D.A., and see what happens when Wilby decides to take a bite out of politics.

  The Puppets Have Been Let Loose!

If you enjoyed the 1960s British television series featuring marionettes who used amazing vehicles to save the world, then you're likely going to love the Thunderbirds. Featuring real human actors in place of the puppets, these guys are ready to GO... especially now that their strings have been cut.

  Should You Visit The Village?

Director M. Night Shyamalan is back with his usual selection of cinematic creepies: Eerie sounds, ghostly reflections, and trademarked twists in The Village. But while he plants fear in your mind as opposed to using on-screen violence, this master of suspense may be too intense for most children.

  When Politics Go Wrong...

No, it isn't a Michael Moore documentary... but this 1962 classic, The Manchurian Candidate, could spark an interesting discussion about our abilities to keep control of our actions. It also our Family Movie Night pick as an alternative to the film of the same name playing in theaters. NOTE: Although this is a family movie night selection, we recommend the film for ages 16 and over.

  Bourne is Back

Jason Bourne is the black-ops super-spy who can't be stopped... and that likely applies to the box office as well. Check our review of The Bourne Supremacy for complete details.

  Meee-OW! Clawing Her Way to the Top

Here kitty-kitty. Uh... on second thought, this is one feline you may want to leave out for the night. Halle Barry plays the latest superhero with claws in Catwoman, opening at a scratching post near you.
