Race to Which Mountain?

Boy, have Disney films changed!  Decades ago, the only "action" films Disney produced were the Herbie the Love Bug and animal adventures.  But as times and tastes differ, so did Disney, and all for the best!!  I recall a time when going to a Disney film meant you were a "baby."  Now, going to a Disney film means a guaranteed "thrill" ride from your theatre seat.  I must say I was impressed, entertained and charmed by the latest Disney live-action entry, Race to Witch Mountain.  Dwayne Johnson (even though kids still call him "the Rock") is a likable hero in this film.  He's funny and can pack a wallop.  He can also be loving and show some TLC.  The kids were cute; I guess they are the "blondes" some UFO groups talk about.  I think they will show promise in future Disney features as well as other films.  Disney is probably a great training ground for a lot of child actors.  It was nice to see the original children, now grown ups, in small parts.  Iake (Ike) Eisenmann and Kim Richards, the sheriff and Tina the waitress, are still good looking and I bet they had a blast working for Disney once more.  Of course, now it is a SFX laden film, with a scary assassin creature-thing.  Of course, the government has to meddle and act as if nothing happened and all heck breaks loose.  It was fun to watch a lot of the action occurring at a Sci-Fi convention.   Carla Gugino was delightful as Alex, the scientist who believes in ET life and is agog when  she meets and has proof of their existence.  And Garry Marshall is funny with his wry delivery.  Overall, this film may not be the films of the inteligensia but once in a while it is fun to watch a frothy, light-hearted action film and just have FUN!!   And who knows what new mountain may be in the offing at your nearest Disney theme park- Matterhorn mountain, Mt. Everest, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and who knows...Witch Mountain...Imagineers- start imagining!!
