Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Sometimes Tim Burton is just a bit too strange for me although I admit he has done some darkly delightful stuff. Johnny Depp is fine in his weird part; I have come to have great respect for him as a screen actor.

And yes, Freddy Highmore is indeed adorable.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

Charlie St. Cloud (2010)

An extremely touching premise, that of a unique relationship between older and younger brother, was almost totally ruined by the film's heart-throb emphasis on the older brother and his girlfriend. But that's just me in the new-age Disney era.

Unfortunately, the book has the same problem, although book and movie have some beautiful moments.

Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

Poor enough but...Wayne Newton on the soundtrack?? Were they deliberately trying to kill this movie?

Le Chiavi di casa (2004)

Beautiful but often painful film. So easy to identify with the father character. I thought some scenes were overlong - but the ending is overpowering.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

A Child Is Waiting (1963)

pretty good. Bruce Ritchie is a heart-stealer.

Cassavetes directed, but thank heaven someone kicked him out of the editing room.

Child's Play (1988)

Children of the Damned (1963)

Les choristes (2004)

Beautiful. Jean-Baptiste Maunier has a face and singing voice that are unforgettable.

A Christmas Carol (1938)

A Christmas Carol (1999)

A very good screen treatment, well acted. Just about every male actor under age 15 is a total charmer.

My Movie Rating:

7 / 10

A Christmas Story (1983)

Your age group might determine how highly you rate this movie. For me, the period detail delighted me almost as much as the boys. I have to admit, my eyes turned to Scott Schwartz more often than to Billingsley.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

I have to admit up front that I find it hard to criticize boy actors as attractive as the two boys here, since their acting is more than adequate.

Actually I was most moved by the magnificent figure of Aslan, the savior lion with Liam Neeson's voice. Incredibly good voice casting, and it is remarkable that computer effects have come so far that one could respond emotionally to a creature who was mostly a digital creation in key scenes.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

The Cider House Rules (1999)

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

A Circle of Children (1977)

Its been many years but I still remember how adorable Matt Laborteaux looked and acted in a TV film I haven't since seen a trace of.

My Movie Rating:

La cité des enfants perdus (1995)

The Client (1994)

I wonder how many others besides myself were first attracted to the tape or DVD by Brad's face on the box. :-)
