If Spider-Man’s creed is “with great power comes great responsibility,” the mantra of Thor could easily be “with great power comes great arrogance.” The latest superhero movie from Marvel Studios, Thor features an out-of-this-world arrogant, reckless and selfish warrior (Chris Hemsworth), who is about to be named king of the mystical kingdom of Asgard by …

Now available on DVD, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the new Voyage of the Dawn Treader opens with the two younger Pevensies—Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley)—being swallowed into a painting, transporting them back to Narnia along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter). They join the new king of Narnia, Caspian (Ben Barnes) in his quest to find seven lost lords to save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resides on a dark island.

Considering how ultraviolent 300 and Watchmen were, I was a little tentative to watch director Zack Snyder's first fully animated film—Legend of the Guardians: The Guardians of Ga'Hoole, now avilable on DVD.

Based on the first three books of the popular children's series by author Kathryn Lasky, Snyder's fantasy film has been described by several movie reviewers as Lord of the Rings with owls.

The film tells the story of Soren (Jim Sturgess), a young owl who grew up listening to—and loving—his father's stories about the Guardians of Ga'Hoole—a mythic band of winged warriors who once fought a great battle to rescue all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones.

Perhaps the most anticipated film of the year for Christians worldwide, the third movie in The Chronicles of Narnia series finally makes a splash in theaters this weekend.

And make a splash it does. Set years after the events of the second film, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader opens with the two younger Pevensies, Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley), being swallowed into a painting, transporting them back to Narnia along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter). They join the new king of Narnia, Caspian (Ben Barnes) in his quest to find seven lost lords to save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resides on a dark island.

Dawn Treader more than holds its own to Prince Caspian and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe as a fast-paced adventure with special effects that tops its first two predecessors. The first in the movie series in 3D, Dawn Treader makes good use of the technology with edge-of-your-seat action, featuring swashbuckling sword fights, a fire-breathing dragon and stomach-churning choppy seas.
