Spiderwick Chronicles, The
horizontal line

Creative special effects and fantastical creatures highlight this dark, imaginative, mystical, star-studded (Martin Short, Seth Rogen, et al.) fairytale about a naturalist (David Strathairn) who wrote an arcane and mysterious field guide that is discovered 80 years later in the rundown house of his great aunt (Joan Plowright) by a young boy (Freddie Highmore) who then tries to convince his disbelieving twin (Freddie Highmore), older sister (Sarah Bolger), and divorced mother (Mary Louise-Parker) of the existence of the magic world filled with fairies and goblins and the menacing ogre (voiceover by Nick Nolte) that seeks the coveted book; maybe too scary for young children.
