I will try to go back to my movie reviews...
This being a new favorite!

INKHEART


Inkheart is a book that has changed a family's life forever. The family torn apart at the beginning of the story must find a way to get back together... and it means an adventure of a lifetime.
Have you ever read a book that was so powerful to you, you could feel the characters come to life in your mind? What would you do if they really did 'come to life'? And what kind of book were you reading? 'Peter Pan'? 'Wizard of OZ'? Some books really do come to life... if the right person is reading them.
Enjoy the adventure as a family.
A good clean film that everybody can enjoy, except those who don't like ticking crocodiles!
some mild violence, mild language, a guy that does not wear a shirt for like a minute, and some Egyptian dude who wears a vest.
