"Race to Witch Mountain" isn’t so much a remake as it is a movie built around the concept of the early movies. In the first 1975 film, two alien kids land on Earth and fall into the clutches of an evil millionaire who wants to exploit them. "Race to Witch Mountain" isn’t the best movie you’ll see this year, but it’s entertaining, has some pretty cool special effects, and is a fun family movie. In the trailer, you’ll see one of the coolest fx, in which Seth is able to go through objects and stop moving vehicles with his body. Dwayne Johnson as the ex-con cabbie is a good person for this role. He’s able to play the tough guy with a heart of gold, and I really like him in these funny, loveable roles, similar to what he played in "The Game Plan." There are plenty of action stars out there, but not so many tough guys (he’s a former wrestler) who can slide into these family movies so easily. He’s a character that movie kids can trust.
