Inkheart

Fantasy
3 ½ stars
Fun movie! Dusty old books whispering secrets on the shelves; crumbling medieval towns with a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone passageways; creepy storybook characters that escape the written page and emerge from a dark and stormy night. How cool is that? Brendan Fraser takes his daughter and Helen Mirren on an adventure amongst storybook escapees (Paul Bettany is one). May be too scary for sensitive little ones. If you like this sort of thing, go for it!
