CATS & DOGS 3D* (PG)
Sometimes, when there is a movie we haven't seen yet, we let a national critic tell you about it...

"Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" - Dogs and cats, living together ... mass hysteria? Maybe not. While these animals were resourceful and well-equipped enemies in the original "Cats & Dogs" from 2001, now they must band together to fight a common foe. As you can tell from the name, this is a spy send-up, specifically of James Bond movies - the opening titles alone are super clever, an indication of the kind of eye for detail that's in store throughout - and from there, the jokes fly fast and furious along with the fur. Surprisingly, most of them work. But as directed by Brad Peyton, the 3-D sequel is a mix of live action, puppetry and computer animation, and the jumbled look is its chief weakness: The animals are cute, but the visual effects that suggest they're talking too often look a bit jumpy .  Still, it's a delightful idea that cats and dogs not only enjoy a rich interior life while humans are away, but also function as highly trained super spies, complete with elaborate gadgetry. Bette Midler is deliciously over-the-top as the voice of the diabolical Kitty Galore, with James Marsden, Christina Applegate and Nick Nolte among the vocal cast. PG for animal action and humour. 87 minutes. Three stars out of four.

- Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

CHARLIE ST. CLOUD (PG13)

>From the popular book comes ZAC EFRON in a heartfelt story of love and life and...death.
KIM BASINGER plays his mom in this (are we really getting that old? Not me!).
Here is the official synopsis:
Charlie St. Cloud is a young man overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother. So much so that he takes a job as caretaker of the cemetery in which his brother is buried. Charlie has a special lasting bond with his brother though, as he can see him. Charlie meets up with his brother (Sam) each night to play catch and talk. Then, a girl comes into Charlie's life and he must choose between keeping a promise he made to Sam, or going after the girl he loves.

THEY WON'T GIVE THE VALIDATION FORM TO YOU UNLESS YOU ASK!
SO, MAKE SURE YOU MAKE THEM GIVE IT TO YOU!!!
(...and if they give you any trouble, come get me and we'll whup their butt! Ha! Ha!)
