'RACE TO Witch Mountain" is the first kids' film in ages to have action beats that measure up to Hollywood's grown-up action fare. Inspired by, but not really a remake of, Disney's much milder 1970s children's hit "Escape to Witch Mountain" (based on Alexander Key's novel and rereleased on DVD this week), this "Witch Mountain" has a lot more in common with "Men in Black," "WarGames," "E.T." and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." In a breathless first hour, we meet the ex-mob "wheelman" Jack Bruno, played with toothy, kid-friendly sarcasm by Dwayne "No Longer the Rock" Johnson. The mob still wants him, but he's content to drive a cab in Las Vegas. He'll live to rue that day. That would be the day that two teenagers, Sarah and Seth (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig), pop into his taxi for a long, long ride. www.mercurynews.com/movies/ci_11889363

I'm really looking forward to this movie. The trailer was pretty cool.

It looks like an interesting movie... One that I wouldn't mind seeing. But in this economy, I don't think I can spare to.
