Adventure
A Knight's Tale (PG-13)

Starring: Heath Ledger
May 2001
Brief nudity and innumerable anachronisms (most notably the score) nearly ground this medieval tale, but a serviceable storyline, colorful sidekicks and an adequate villain combine to produce a satisfying and inspiring film.
Rating: 2 1/2
The Mummy Returns (PG-13)
20/08/13 00:40 Filed in: 2001
Starring: Brendan Fraser
May 2001
Great special effects can’t compensate for a contrived plot. Little originality, excessive violence, grotesque creatures and a reincarnation subplot make this a mediocre movie at best.
Rating: 2
Dinosaur (PG)

Starring: D.B. Sweeney

I was blown away by the trailer but was less impressed with the actual movie. The latest in a long line of “mass exodus at the onset of the ice age” dino. movies, Dinosaur has a run of the mill story, but boasts startling, photo-realistic animation. D.B. Sweeny voices lead character, Aladar the Iguanodon, and Della Reese takes a memorable turn as a matronly Styrachosaur. Kids will love it…adults, maybe not so much.
