Twice the fun, double the trouble. Hallie Parker and Annie James look exactly alike and are sisters. Hallie is a cool, laid-back gal from California, while Annie James is a proper rose from London. Neither of them has met the other parents who were divorced after their births. By the chance of luck, the twins meet at summer camp and uncovered the mystery behind the ripped picture. After realizing that they're twin sisters separated at birth, they decide to switch places as they're eager to meet their respective parents - their wedding gown designing-mom and their wine-making dad. At the same time, the selfish gold-digging Meredith gets in the twins' way as she's going after their father's money rather than love.

The Parent Trap is directed by Nancy Meyers and features good acting performances from the following cast members:
1.) Lindsay Lohan (Hallie Parker/Annie James)
2.) Dennis Quaid (Nick Parker)
3.) Natasha Richardson (Elizabeth James)
4.) Elaine Hendrix (Meredith)
5.) Lisa Ann Walter (Chessy)
6.) Simon Kunz (Martin)
7.) Ronnie Stevens (Grandfather)

As one of my favorite childhood films, I've heard all about this familiar story of what's awesome about being a twin even though you never knew it. That's the case here. The acting performances here are excellent, including Lindsay Lohan, who definitely copied Hayley Mills' original Parent Trap child star performance well with her more cute red-haired, freckle-faced looks added in. I thought of her as a future Julia Roberts/Meg Ryan/Jodie Foster, though not aware of her being a paparazzi/tabloid target. Plus, I once thought Lindsay had a twin sister but later learned that special effects (SFX) cloned her! Including it within the family film, comedy drama, and romantic comedy lists, I also ranked The Parent Trap as my third favorite LL film after Freaky Friday (#2) and Mean Girls (#1). I know that siblings could never stay apart forever and thus have the family they longed for.

While weekend movies on TV were part of my free TV viewing time when Life-Size was first broadcast on The Wonderful World Of Disney in 2000, I probably saw some or most of this. Today, I get to watch all of the movie and saw how Casey performed a magic spell to bring a doll back to life when she's supposed to bring her dead mother alive. As her human self, Eve - a statuesque Barbie clone - tries to survive in the real world, far different from her doll world of Sunnyvale. Things get worse when Casey's dad, Ben, develops a crush on the living doll. I liked the film for the young Lindsay Lohan, fresh from her cuteness in The Parent Trap, whose Casey role as a football player hints me of a tomboy trait even though she's really a girl. Also in the film are supermodel and actress Tyra Banks and Jere Burns as Eve and Ben, respectively.

Trust no one. Question everything. Get A Clue. The pampered rich Lexy Gold spends her life amongst the wealthy and elite of Manhattan, boasting herself on her ability to write on the school newspaper's gossip column. When Mr. Walker mysteriously goes missing, Lexy and her working-class friends Jack, Jenn, and Gabe set out to solve the crime case that would eventually save their favorite teacher's life.

Get A Clue features great acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Lindsay Lohan (Lexy Gold)
2.) Bug Hall (Jack Downey)
3.) Ian Gomez (Mr. Walker)
4.) Brenda Song (Jenn)
5.) Ali Mukkadam (Gabe)

Not only that I'm amazed of the film's featured espionage, I'm also surprised that it takes place in Manhattan, and the kids are rich and are into the latest fashions. Still fresh from her cute and clean child star appearance, Lindsay Lohan does her good job in acting while doing Lexy's job as a gossip columnist, making her an original Gossip Girl for the junior high set, minus the queen bee personality, thank goodness. Get A Clue is a great old school Disney Channel film, in an early 21st century era untouched by the tween school music madness.

Every teenager's nightmare is turning into her mother. Dr. Tess Coleman and her 15-year-old daughter, Anna, aren't getting along over tastes and preferences on clothes, hair, music and certainly not in each other's taste in men until their disagreements peaked when they are given two identical magic fortune cookies. By Friday morning, they discover they aren't themselves. Tess is hopeless in guitar and algebra while Anna is inept in psychology. Meanwhile, the good-looking Jake accidentally seduces Tess's body when he was actually falling for Anna. As they learn to respect each other they are looking for ways to switch back their bodies back fast.

Directed by Mark Waters, Freaky Friday features the finest acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Lindsay Lohan (Anna Coleman)
2.) Jamie Lee Curtis (Tess Coleman)
3.) Mark Harmon (Ryan)
4.) Harold Gould (Grandpa)
5.) Ryan Malgarini (Harry Coleman)
6.) Chad Michael Murray (Jake)
7.) Stephen Tobolowsky (Mr. Bates)
8.) Christina Vidal (Maddie)

Though I watched Freaky Friday a number of times since its 2003 release, I recently have skimmed the pages of the original Mary Rodgers novel and watched the 1977 original film with Jodie Foster (and I can say that this is really a good remake). I'm surprised that many critics loved Freaky Friday through favorable reviews - thus going down in history as, right next to Mean Girls on the top, my second favorite film from Lindsay Lohan. Which, of course, reminds me of the fact that Lindz was so amazing here - she was like a real drama queen when she conflicts with her onscreen mom and a rock star when she performs on her electric guitar. With some comedic and romantic moments that excited me, Freaky Friday is a great family-friendly chick flick that shows a weird but good example of role-playing each other's personalities, especially when the duo are doing it once the eve of the mom's wedding day.

I liked this teen/chick flick, which is titled "Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen". What's more, I'm so delighted that Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox- two of my favorite actresses- team up and act as two opposing characters, who are a drama queen (Lola Cep) and a rich, popular mean girl (Carla Santini). Lola moves from metropolitan New York to suburban New Jersey, where she yearns for popularity by taking the role of a character in an updated version of "Pygmalion" and meeting the lead singer of the band Sidarthur. This movie has comedy and drama at the same time, thus making it as a "dramedy" for a notable film credit for LL showing her talent for dramatic acting.

"Please take care of Herbie. Whatever your problem he'll help you find the answer."
- Maggie Peyton

There is a legend with mysterious powers and a magical past. And when a family is in trouble, the one person who needs him most is about to unlock his secret: Herbie's magic has been unleashed to the world! Maggie Peyton is a member of a third generation racing family famous for never winning a race. She hopes to become a NASCAR legend like her father, who believes that women and car racing don't mix. When Maggie meets up with Herbie the amazing talking Volkswagen, the two form an unlikely bond that could send her to the top of the racing world.

Directed by Angela Robinson, Herbie: Fully Loaded features great acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Lindsay Lohan (Maggie Peyton)
2.) Justin Long (Kevin)
3.) Breckin Meyer (Ray Peyton Jr.)
4.) Michael Keaton (Ray Peyton Sr.)
5.) Matt Dillon (Trip Murphy)
6.) Cheryl Hines (Sally)

Herbie: Fully Loaded is all good racing fun under the hood, a family-friendly film that is enjoyable for them. Lindsay Lohan, fresh out of Mean Girls, did a great acting performance here, looking great in her trademark red hair and race car driver uniform as well as giving "First" as the film's theme song. She and #53 are perfectly the main stars of the film. While Herbie is LL's last Disney role, she was now transitioning to serious roles. As this movie is part of The Love Bug movie series, I need to find more of that cute Volkswagen Beetle in the other films.

"There's nothing you can't get from a book that you can't get from a television faster."
- Harry Wormwood

Born to completely unsuitable parents, Matilda Wormwood discovers her true destiny as a gifted girl who is anxious to go to school and read books above the elementary school level. She was often ignored by her parents. When Matilda was sent to Crunchem Hall, where Ms. Trunchbull severely punishes schoolchildren through her javelin and hammer-throwing skills and a detention chamber called the "chokey", she befriends the very sweet Ms. Honey. Hoping to put up with the cruelty of her parents and the principal, she exhibits telekinetic/psychic powers that could move objects.

Directed by Danny DeVito, Matilda features very good acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Danny DeVito (Harry Wormwood)
2.) Rhea Pearlman (Zinnia Wormwood)
3.) Pam Ferris (Agatha Trunchbull)
4.) Embeth Davidtz (Jennifer "Jenny" Honey)
5.) Mara Wilson (Matilda)
6.) Brian Levinson (Michael Wormwood)
7.) Paul Reubens (FBI Agent Bob)
8.) Tracey Walter (FBI Agent Bill)

One of my top favorite films that I frequently watching during my childhood years, I find Matilda as a good film adaptation of the children's novel by Roald Dahl (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, James And The Giant Peach). The subplot with our titular character gaining telekinesis as a result of bad authority reminds me of Carrie, although no bloody horror acts are involved, thank goodness. While I find her punishments insane, the discipline of the Trunchbull is too rigid, too Nazi in fashion. I got surprised when I saw that Pee-Wee Herman guy spying at the Wormwood residence and Jon Lovitz hosting the Million Dollar Sticky; after viewing Matilda, I found it interesting that Mr. DeVito and Ms. Perlman are married in real life. As for Mara Wilson's appearance, she was sweet and cute in this memorable film role, and I'll never forget that. As a notable '90s family-friendly release, Matilda is worth viewing for entertainment.

"When a person is bad, that person has to be taught a lesson."
- Harry Wormwood

As what the movie poster of "Are We There Yet?" says, it's the funniest family comedy since "Home Alone". Smooth operator Nick is trying to land a date with a divorcee, and he takes her kids on a trip from Portland to Vancouver on one bumpy ride. Playing Nick is rapper Ice Cube, who delivers us the funniest dialogue. Who says gangsta rapper can't act in family flicks? "Are We There Yet?" is a great film!

I got past the syrup and molasses just to see "Secondhand Lions". It's about 14-year-old Walter spending the summer with his great-uncles Garth and Hub who tell him adventurous life stories. Yes, it's silly when shotguns instead of fishing poles were used for fishing, and yes, there is a lion in the story. Haley Joel Osment, Michael Caine, and Robert Duvall did a good job in their acting performances as their respective characters. This film is enjoyable for the whole family....and I give it four stars.

When I watched "The Kid", I had to take a peek how an 8-year-old boy sees his grown-up self. I can't believe that the main character whose name is Russ Duritz is not only a rich 40-year-old image consultant, but he is also single, doesn't fly planes, and doesn't have a dog?! Darn....what a loser, and I mean to Russ himself. But there's no need to feel bad about all of what Russ doesn't have as he had to define who he is. Flashbacks of Russ's childhood appear in some scenes that would later shape his life. What a great story!

"The Kid" is directed by Jon Turteltaub. Spencer Breslin (yes, that's Abigail's brother) plays the 8-year-old Russ- or his real name Russell- as the titular character. Playing the grown-up kid is Bruce Willis; out of the action genre, he did a nice acting performance in a family film. Also in the film include Russ's boss Janet (by Lily Tomlin) and his love interest Amy (by Emily Mortimer). The film's spoken dialogue is very good- the "Holy Smokes!" line is very memorable!

In conclusion, "The Kid" is an enjoyable film intended for the whole family.

I've heard all about this familiar tale here: Separated twin sisters meet, by coincidence, at summer camp and plot to reunite their parents. The movie? It's the 1961 original version of "The Parent Trap that the young blonde child star Hayley Mills starred in, and having watched the 1998 remake already, I found some similarities and differences in it. Other than the twins' camp meeting, the twins' names are Sharon and Susan- and not Hallie and Annie. Their father lives in California, while their mother is from Boston (and not London). And of course, there's always an evil fiancee whom the father was planning to marry. With the featured clean, polished early '60s environment and fashion, I find the original "Parent Trap" drama great for viewing for the whole family. And I definitely knew that, by three decades later, it would be long until Lindsay Lohan takes over the twins' role in the remake.

Audiences, get ready for the big fat fun and action. Fourteen-year-old Jason Shepard has a reputation for stretching the truth. No one believes him. He is failing class. So when the famous Hollywood producer Marty Wolf steals his class assignment and turns it into a scripted movie, Jason travels all the way from Michigan to Los Angeles to claim his credit. I'm surprised by all the humorous film moments here, most of them Jason and Kaylee - and everyone in the studio, too - do revengeful tactics just to force the deceitful producer to reveal his truth. And part of "Big Fat Liar" makes it look like a Blue Man: Marty becoming blue-skinned is definitely the most memorable moment ever! Whatever Jason did in his class essay, titled "Big Fat Liar" as a movie within a movie, I think he definitely deserves the grade. Good effort, Shepard!

Directed by Shawn Levy, "Big Fat Liar" has good acting performances from the following cast members, including a "Malcolm In The Middle" star and former Nickelodeon star:
1.) Frankie Muniz (Jason Shepard)
2.) Amanda Bynes (Kaylee)
3.) Paul Giamatti (Marty Wolf)
4.) Amanda Detmer (Monty Kirkham)
5.) Donald Faison (Frank Jackson)
6.) Lee Majors (Vince)
7.) Sandra Oh (Mrs. Caldwell)

Oh my goodness, until recently, I didn't know John Cho (of "Harold & Kumar" fame) is in the film, playing a film director! But I know Jaleel White, formerly of "Family Matters", is playing himself here. One line of dialogue always kept me remembering all the time for so long, spoken by a tow truck driver in one scene: "They told me to pick up a little blue car. They didn't say anything about a little blue man."

"Big Fat Liar" taught us viewers a valuable lesson that the truth is not overrated. The film, too, isn't overrated, either, and I liked it.

Tim Allen definitely plays a doggone-to-be-memorable role in this feature film. The fun is unleashed in the story of a lawyer who occasionally transforms into, well, read the film title: "The Shaggy Dog". Injected by lab serum, Dave Douglas explores life as man's best friend while hoping to go back to fathering. His kids love Shaggy and see their dad in him. A very great movie for the family (and dog lovers) to enjoy, "The Shaggy Dog" definitely raises the woof, and marches.

By Halloween, with spooky mishaps the ghosts come out in this haunted adventure. "R.L. Stine's Mostly Ghostly" has Max Doyle playing magic tricks while befriending two spirits and battling a wicked ghoul. He's the only one in school who can see ghosts. It's very surprising for me when I get to spot Ali Lohan and Noah Cyrus - celebrity sisters to their respective Lindsay and Miley - here, while Sterling Beaumon is the newest child star on the rise. This all-new movie is definitely worth viewable for the kids and family. I chant out this magic spell: "From the light of Earth the dark descends, should they return it all depends...."

As an afficionado of West Highland White Terriers myself, "Greyfriars Bobby" - in its original UK release, it's also known as "The Adventures Of Greyfriars Bobby" - tells the true story of a little dog that refused to leave his owner's graveside in Edinburgh. And despite the passing of a new dog law, Bobby struggles for his protection under his friend Ewan. How cute.... Just wish I can watch this film title again so I can get my own furry Westie. :-)

Dang, the last time I watched Bridge To Terabithia I thought that this was the lamest fantasy film I've ever seen. Too dramatic, that's what I first thought of it. But then again, I went back to the story by skimming the chapters of Katherine Paterson's original 1977 novelization and, of course, watching its film adaptation. I'm now satisfied with it.

This great fantasy adventure is based on the kids' imaginations that were all drawn on paper and envisioned by their youngest thoughts. Jess Aarons wanted to be the fasted kid in school until he met his new next-door neighbor, Leslie Burke. As friends, they open their imaginations to the fictional kingdom of Terabithia. In Terabithia, the duo rule the kingdom and fight against the Dark Master and weird creatures. I think the story was fine for me, since a combination of daydreaming for fantasy and a good friendship is a way to escape the hardships of reality, including the bullies. It's sad in the middle of it due to a tragic event and how Jess coped with it, but I understood it well. Plus, the imaginative special effects (SFX) of wooden forests, fortresses, bridges, vultures, and trolls were so impressive and real-looking to me, as well as some action scenes.

Bridge To Terabithia was directed by Gabor Csupo and features good acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Josh Hutcherson (Jess Aarons)
2.) AnnaSophia Robb (Leslie Burke)
3.) Robert Patrick (Mr. Aarons)
4.) Zooey Deschanel (Ms. Edmunds)
5.) Bailee Madison (May Belle Aarons)
6.) Lauren Clinton (Janice Avery)

While the quality of the story for Bridge To Terabithia may not match with The Chronicles Of Narnia or Lord Of The Rings due to the main emphasis on the thematic themes over the fantasy and action, at least it was fine enough to be a family-friendly movie. It's worth watching - which what I'll conclude with this film experience. I'll always remember what Leslie delivered us in the best of this film's dialogue: "Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open." Okay, and I will - I'll keep my mind free to the visions of an imaginary world.

Zathura isn't just some "dumb old game", as what brothers Walter and Danny dismissed when they found it hidden. Rather, it's another sort of a Jumanji game but with an outer space twist. When a game card is drawn or the dice is rolled, any space peril like meteors, robots, and aliens gets in the way during a lead to the planet Zathura. A good appreciating cooperation kept Walter and Danny from fighting at this time of danger, and the astronaut was a good help to them. Like Jumanji, Zathura was another children's book (from the same author, Chris Van Allsburg). Its story and special effects (SFX) were fine even though it started at home and blasted off into space as if it were a dream. And I find that and its retro game look too weird.



Directed by Jon Favreau, Zathura has good acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Josh Hutcherson (Walter)
2.) Jonah Bobo (Danny)
3.) Dax Shepard (Astronaut)
4.) Kristen Stewart (Lisa)
5.) Tim Robbins (Dad)



Overall, Zathura is a good film, exciting and enjoyable for the whole family. I wonder what board game we're going to see next when it gets adapted into film.

Roll the dice and unleash the excitement! It took around 26 years (1969-1995) to finish playing a board game that brings out all the action from the jungle whenever a player rolls the dice and read a card. When a 5 or an 8 is rolled, Alan returns to the real world after disappearing from sight to Jumanji (and hence the game's title). The two kids, Judy and Peter play the Jumanji game and bring out all the perilous things such as wild animals, rain, quicksand, and the villainous hunter Van Pelt as a result of taking turns. I find the film action great when it comes to the special effects (SFX) that created the wild gone onto town. Plus, I even read the original children's book from Chris Van Allsburg; the film makers must have made the story even better through the addition to different time settings and good action sequences.



Jumanji is directed by Joe Johnston and features good acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Robin Williams (Alan Parrish)
2.) Kirsten Dunst (Judy)
3.) Bradley Pierce (Peter)
4.) Bonnie Hunt (Sarah Whittle)
5.) Bebe Neuwirth (Nora)
6.) David Alan Grier (Carl Bentley)
7.) Jonathan Hyde (Van Pelt/Sam Parrish)
8.) Adam Hann-Byrd (Young Alan)
9.) Laura Bell Bundy (Young Sarah)



Overall, I say that Jumanji is a good film, exciting and enjoyable for the whole family. Seeing this film makes me want what to yell out whenever I want to end the game: JUMANJI!

Welcome to the spy-house: Harriet M. Welsch writes private thoughts on her notebook while sneakingly spying on other people, all encouraged by her nanny and friend Ole Golly. She's hoping that she would be an aspiring writer someday. But one day at a park, Harriet's notebook was taken by a clique - headed by Marion Hawthorne - who reads all of Harriet's secrets. Such comments were hurtful for Harriet's best friends, science geek Janie and the sport-loving Sport, so her classmates shun her. The film's fine, but when I read the original Harriet The Spy from Louise Fitzhugh, I knew there are some differences between this and the novel; the story order and the racially diverse class are a few of these. Is it because the original novel was too long? Fitzhugh wrote a few other books about the titular character so I thought Harriet The Spy could have been a TV show with all the chapters to follow along.

Directed by Bronwen Hughes, Harriet The Spy has good acting from the following cast:
1.) Michelle Trachtenberg (Harriet M. Welsch)
2.) Gregory Smith (Simon "Sport" Roque)
3.) Vanessa Lee Chester (Janie Gibbs)
4.) Rosie O'Donnell (Ole Golly)
5.) J. Smith-Cameron (Mrs. Welsch)
6.) Robert Joy (Mr. Welsch)
7.) Charlotte Sullivan (Marion Hawthorne)
8.) Eartha Kitt (Agatha K. Plummer)

The film version of Harriet The Spy may be too short - and I therefore stick to the novel - but at least it's fun to watch. A treasure from the '90s golden heyday of Nickelodeon (their first film feature), it gave me the real definition of "spy" trained for espionage, not to mention learning secrets from others.

Get hip. Get wild. Get a clue. In the town of River Heights there's no mystery that Nancy Drew can't solve. Now, with her magnifying glass and fingerprint powder in her hand, this small-town girl is moving to Los Angeles on one of her father's business trips. But not to meet that guy on Smallville, as her boyfriend Ned fears. While trying to fit in with life in Hollywood Nancy comes across her latest mystery about a long-unsolved crime involving the mysterious death of beautiful actress Dehlia Draycott.

Directed by Andrew Fleming, Nancy Drew features great acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew)
2.) Josh Flitter (Corky)
3.) Max Thieriot (Ned)
4.) Rachael Leigh Cook (Jane)
5.) Tate Donovan (Carson Drew)

Nancy Drew is a great film adaptation of the Carolyn Keene book series as our leading star, Emma Roberts, does a good job in playing the character. As I can agree with others, she's definitely following in the footsteps of her world-famous aunt Julia. The film works like your average teen flick with the electronic-savvy teen queens of mean walking around and their own sense of lifestyles. Plus, even in the 21st century world, some scenes involving hat-wearing men makes it look retro. What a fun sleuthing flick for the whole family...and I'm glad I wasn't bored by it.

They're on a mission without permission. Twelve-year-old Maddy and her friends, a computer genius and a mechanical whiz kid, to pull off a risky heist. They plan to break into the local super-high-tech bank, which holds a vault suspended 100 feet off the floor, and get to its safe. To complicate matters even further, Maddy's mother works as the bank's security chief. Regardless of what obstacles she faces, Maddy is determined to get to the funds her father needs for the expensive operation through the climbing skills he taught her.

Directed by Bart Freundlich, Catch That Kid (Mission Without Permission) features very good acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Kristen Stewart (Maddy)
2.) Corbin Bleu (Austin)
3.) Max Thieriot (Gus)
4.) Jennifer Beals (Molly)
5.) Sam Robards (Tom)
6.) John Carroll Lynch (Mr. Hartmann)

After five years of waiting since its theatrical release, I recently got the chance to see the film where I first discovered KStew and her fine acting abilities. Teaming up with Corbin Bleu (High School Musical) and an unknown named Max Thieriot, the future Twilight actress does a good job helping out for her on-screen dad to finance the surgery while doing her acting performance. Catch That Kid has its good moments kids could do to toy around with high tech just like similar flicks like, say, Spy Kids. I heard that this film title is a remake of a Danish film, but I never saw it and would like to find out what that really is.

As part of a secret teen CIA program, "Agent Cody Banks" fights evil scientists of ERIS developing a fleet of deadly nanobots while posing as a prep school student. From runaway cars to high-speed snowboard chases, Cody has lots of action. And these featured gadgets are definitely more than being real - the high-tech sunglasses that can see hidden articles through people are so hilarious. Stars such as Frankie Muniz and Hilary Duff give us very good acting performances here. I give four stars for "Agent Cody Banks".

Returning from the first "Agent Cody Banks" is our titular character going undercover as a boarding school student in London. Like the original movie, the spy action still remains with lots of fighting. And the featured gadgets are still in high-tech quality, especially with the exploding Mentos candy. Oh, and I also give four stars for "Agent Cody Banks 2 - Destination London" and the great acting from stars such as Frankie Muniz and Anthony Anderson.

The Evil Thing is not real unless you think about it. For 13-year-old Cassie, fitting into a new school and neighborhood isn't easy, but she entertains herself and by playing pranks on the popular kids and her little brother, Max. As Halloween approaches, Cassie's search for scares leads her to a mysterious Halloween store and an unusual book called The Evil Thing. When Max begs her to read the book to him, Cassie ignores its warning, "Do Not Read Aloud", and the spooky adventure really begins.

Directed by Alex Zamm, The Haunting Hour Volume One: Don't Think About It features very good acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Emily Osment (Cassie)
2.) Cody Linley (Sean)
3.) Brittany Elizabeth Curran (Priscilla)
4.) Alex Winzenread (Max)
5.) Tobin Bell (The Stranger)

Goosebumps author R.L. Stine brings us the film straight from the horror sub-genre that is scary but family-friendly, but still too scary for the younger children. Here is The Haunting Hour, featuring a goth girl who likes to enjoy the horror stuff...wow, that character really fits into the story background. Although Emily O. comes from the tween-targeted Disney Channel pop culture that I despise, I can say that her acting here is very good while she proves herself to be more popular than her big bro Haley Joel (who saw dead people). If I thought queen bees are only seen in high school movies, then I'd better think again: BEC playing Priscilla totally represents one for junior high, and she's really bratty for a queen bee, you know. The film has good horror fun when our characters go after the monster, and they'll do everything to save everyone's lives before it's too late.

I'd got to sit down and watch the museum exhibits come to life!
