The Even Stevens Movie (2003)

The third DCOM movie to be reviewed on KidViews is presented, here is, in all of its glory and goofiness, here is The Even Stevens Movie. I've only seen a few episodes of the show, but I love the episodes that I did see and I love this movie. This movie is about the Stevens family, (obvious) that go on a vacation to a 'far away' island (which is really only like twenty-five miles away) and end up in disasterous situations, while they are, unknowingly, being filmed and put on a reality TV show. This hysterical movie provides laughs, unexpected twists and turns, and is one of the best DCOMs that Disney has ever made. I recommend to catch it when it comes on.

Coraline (2008)

This movie is definitely the scariest movie (or creepiest) that ever that ever hit the kid's and family genre. Based on the book by Neil Gaiman, the first stop-motion movie ever to be originally filmed in 3-D, KidViews presents the nightmarish phenomenon that is Coraline. The story is great, and the visual effects are magnificent. This movie is a pure phenomenon, but it is a movie to rent. However, one for everyone to rent. Rent it now! Go get it! It's good!

Shorts (2009)

I had really low hopes for this movie. I was dead wrong. This movie, with its unnatural title, all makes sense once you start the film...at least a little bit. This mildly confusing but hysterically funny kid's movie about a rock that grants wishes is one of my better catches. It is delightfully unique, as I'm pretty sure this is the only kid's movie that is in this style. All of the other ones are adult movies that get amazing reviews...from adults. So that shows you, this style of movies is rare and amazing. And I won't tell you what the style is because you have to see for yourself. So head down to the movies with a big bucket of popcorn and watch Shorts.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

As the final movie of my Alien marathon of reviews, I would like to say this: only watch this with a fast-foward button. There's an intermission AND an overture. So after skipping through that, let's get on with the movie. The first thirty minutes: GARBAGE! It's just wasted time. Ape costumes and no dialouge. That part stunk. Then, it started making sense, and smiles on my face. This epic battle between man and machine takes place here, in the true birth of science fiction. Thanks to the last twenty minutes of this movie, I can call this an alien movie. That was random. If you have two and a half hours, this is a great movie to catch. Watch Stanley Kubrick's true science fiction masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey

Race to Witch Mountain (2009)

I've never seen Escape to Witch Mountain or Return from Witch Mountain, so I can't compare the old to the new. But right now the new seems pretty darn good! In the next edition of the alien movie review marathon of KidViews, I say that Witch Mountain is really good. The movie, starring Dwaene Johnson and Annasophia Robb, is locked and loaded with the kind of effects that are only seen in PG-13 flicks. Take any alien flick take out the language and 'special themes', turn it around a bit, (a bit more, a little bit more, no that's too much, perfect!) and you get Race to Witch Mountain. This is one to get. Get it. Now!

Alien (1979)

As seen on A&E. You know, I really love those channels that take R and PG-13 movies into lesser innapropriate content. That is how I could see Alien, Fun With Dick and Jane, and The Matrix. (see July 2009 for the review of The Matrix; June 2009 for Fun With Dick and Jane) This movie is so so so awesome. It is understandable why this movie spawned 5 sequels. I would recommend this movie to anybody and everybody. If you even have a microscopic craving for the joy of science fiction, this movie is for you. And you. And you. Watch it. It rocks. A lot.

Aliens in the Attic (2009)

I'm going to do a big alien movie marathon of reviews here on KidViews. So, what movie better to start it off with than Aliens in the Attic? Actually, I could think of something and more, but I'll cut to the chase. Not that bad. The movie is sufficient if you're looking for a good family summer comedy, but an action-packed alien flick is not found here. As a child, I must say that I liked this movie. A lot. That's it. Go away! Go home! Or if you are home, eat a hot dog! Or something like that...
