• Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, The (1999)

  [4/10]

  "My two year old loved it, my eight year old liked it, the rest of my family tolerated it. Patinkin's performance provided, for me, the only real entertainment in the show. The songs seemed more contrived than usual for a Muppet movie. Noticeably missing: Kermit, Piggy, and Fozzy."

• Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)

  [7/10]

  "I have seen TPM three times and have liked it better each time, in spite of the problems I had with Lucas's execution of the plot. Lucas truly has a unique vision and talent for creating fun, visually pleasing movies that one rarely tires of seeing."

• Zathura (2005)

  [6/10]

  "If you've seen Jumanji, then you pretty much have seen Zathura. In essence, a couple of kids find an old game, start to play, and then realize that the game affects reality in quite serious and perilous ways."

  Average score: 5.67
