“Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story” is a heartwarming tale about an injured race horse who is nursed back to health by a little girl (Dakota Fanning) and her father (Kurt Russell.)  Breathtaking panoramic views of the Kentucky countryside frame this sweet story about second chances, and how bleak situations can turn around when people come together with faith, tenacity and determination. In an obvious parallel, the horse must recover from a broken leg, and the father must re-invent himself after losing his job. Meanwhile, a youngster lives out her fantasy about having a horse in the backyard. Yep, this is every kid’s dream come to life. It’s also every man’s dream about making a small investment and quadrupling your money.

Bottom line: "Dreamer" is a little slow moving at times, but anyone who loves horses will enjoy this movie. It is recommended for families with children ages 8 to 13.

If you're in the mood to laugh yourself silly, Wallace & Gromit’s “Curse of the Were-Rabbit” is a jolly good show.
It’s about a dimwitted inventor named Wallace and his sidekick dog, Gromit, coming up with a solution to the flurry of rabbits destroying the community’s vegetable gardens. If something isn't done quickly, the townspeople will have nothing to show for at the local Giant Vegetable Competition.

As a quick fix, Wallace and Gromit develop the Bun-Vac 6000, a contraption that enables them to remove rabbits via remote control as they patrol the neighborhood in their van. What initially seems like a good idea backfires when Wallace hooks the Bun-Vac up to his latest invention, the Mind-O-Matic, hoping to brainwash the rabbits into not wanting to eat vegetables at all. The experiment results in a giant "were-rabbit" -- seen in classic horror movie-style only as a shadow and footprints at first -- starts ravaging the town's gardens, turning the locals into a rowdy mob.
 
What’s fun about “Curse of the Were-Rabbit“ is its nutty, offbeat British humor. Adults will understand it on a deeper level than children. For instance, the Were Rabbit—half-man, half-hare—piggybacks off King Kong and old werewolf movies, but children will just see it as wacky and fun.

Bottom line: “Curse of the Were-Rabbit“ is a “doolally” movie that is absolutely fabulous. Go on, and give it a whirl. You won't be disappointed!
