UNDER THE MOUNTAIN (2009) - Sept. 13, 2009
A kind of mediocre adventure movie about two twins who find out that New Zealand -- and the entire world -- are at risk of being destroyed if they don't do something. The film was reasonably well made, and it was well acted (particularly Sam Neill as the twins' grizzled mentor) but it just wasn't all that interesting. It was kind of dull and slow-paced, and felt remarkably free of adventure for an adventure movie (there was a LOT of set-up -- most of the film felt like it could have been compressed into about twenty minutes, to set up a much more exciting adventure movie). **
