Review By JENNIFER KALI We took our seven-year-old to watch this delightful movie about a big friendly vegetarian giant and the entire family enjoyed it. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the live action and CGI cast bring this lovely story to life. The giant’s CGI features are so friendly and loveable. Based on the chapter book […]

February 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Movies
