1 .GET SMART:
Carrell is Agent 86 and Anne Hathaway is 99 in this big-screen version of the 60s TV series that starred Don Adams. I liked the way Carrell tackled the role, paying appropriate respect to the original, but putting his own stamp on it as well. Siegfried and KAOS are at it again while Smart bungles his way through … although this Max is more adept at the spy game than was his TV predecessor. Has grossed $230 million against an $80 million budget prior to DVD release. Rated PG.

2. KUNG FU PANDA:
The voices of Jack Black, Jackie Chan, and Angelina Jolie among others make this a delightful romp. An overweight panda in ancient China wants to be a great warrior but seems relegated to a life working in his father’s noodle business … until a series of events suggest that he might be The One foretold in ancient religions. This one works for kids at one level and adults at another level. Great fun! Rated PG.

3. . KIT KITTREDGE – AN AMERICAN GIRL:
Abigail Breslin is the title character here in a family-friendly movie that captures Depression-era America perfectly as young Kit, who wants to be a newspaper reporter when she grows up, becomes involved in solving a mystery. It has “sequel” stamped all over it, which is fine – perfect for viewing by “tween” girls aged six to 12. Rated PG.

Hang em High (1968):
A great lesson in what Clint Eastwood learned working for Sergio Leone on spaghetti westerns – and the very first film from Eastwood’s Malapaso Company.
