A group of discontented rabbits decide to leave a warren and search for a better life. Animated film successfully captures the imagination, adventure, characters and atmosphere of the classic book. Exceptional soundtrack integration. Graphic realism may be frightening for younger audiences. (Rating: A)
Emotionally handicapped teen with telekinetic power encounters hostility from frightened townspeople. Fair-to-good performances and interesting premise damaged by sentiment, predictable plot and average direction. Viewers may also enjoy "Phenomenom" (1996), "Edward Scissorhands" (1990) and "Carrie" (1976). (Rating: B+)
A 14th-century English monk and his assistant attempt to solve a series of murders at an Italian monastery. Murder-mystery wrapped in a film about corruption among the religious elite during the Middle Ages. Colorful characters and a strong script touched with humor provide relief from grim atmosphere. Solid, though not inspired direction, and good performances throughout. (Rating: A-minus)
