Chicken Little

This is the classic story of one little chicken who thought the sky was falling, but with a twist. What if Chicken Little not only was hit by a piece of the sky, but it wasn't just a piece of the sky? What if it was a piece of an alien space ship, and then the alien parents left their kid behind accidentally? Well, this is what happens, and Chicken Little, and his gang of outcast friends, are the only ones who can return the kid to his parents, even when there is a full-blown alien invasion looked for the adorable fuzzball.

This movie is a quality family film. Kids will love the town of talking animals, along with the aliens who look like Furbies mated with Trolls. Parents will enjoy it as well. I still love watching this movie, and I've seen it tons of times. Highly recommended.

I, Robot

In a world in the near-future, robots are common. These robots protect humans, serve us, and are completely devoted. Nothing could go wrong, and everyone knows that. Except for Detective Spooner (Will Smith). Spooner doesn't believe that robots are as nice or benign as the media would believe, and he is determined to prove it when the top robot designer and inventor "commits suicide" in the company of Sonny, the only robot with seemingly human intelligence. Sonny can even dream. With a shipment of a new model coming out into the public, Spooner does everything he can to prove he's right about the murderous robot.

I'm going to come out and say it: I love this movie. It is a typical action movie in some respects, but in others, it shows creativity. Smith plays the strong, handsome rebel desperate to prove what he knows is right. Sonny is the villian who is just plain misunderstood, or cunning and evil. There isn't the typical blonde bombshell in this film, but rather a plain but brilliant doctor, Calvin, played by Bridget Moynahan, which is very refreshing. Once the movie is over, the viewer will realize how unique it is. However, don't be tricked. There is no mention of Apple products in this movie.

Rated PG-13
