Inkheart

Was very pleasantly surprised by these. Was rather expecting an overdose of CGI and OTT effects but quite subdued. The story flows along quite well. And Brendan Fraser actually does a solemn take, instead of the wise-cracking clumsy action hero bit he's so good at. The books coming to life bits aren't that well executed. Still, as far as fantasy movies go, I liked this over the ilks of Stardust, which was a bit all over the place. The little girl does get annoying, though. Recommended, albeit not highly.....
