OCTOBER 2015 Flick Picks Goosebumps

(In Theaters: October 9, 2015)

They're back! R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps book series and TV series were popular in the 1990's, and the new "Goosebumps" movie brings the old stories back in a new way: R.L. Stine (the author) is a central figure of the movie's story. R.L. Stine is played in the movie by Jack Black, a comic actor whose on-screen antics are often appreciated by both kids and adults alike.

Have you ever wondered how Peter Pan ended up in Neverland and became the leader of the Lost Boys? "Pan" is the liveaction adventure story of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. The story revolves around how Peter Pan and the pirate who later becomes Captain Hook started out as friends, when Hook was one of the pirate crew on Blackbeard's pirate ship.

After moving into a small town, Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) meets his new neighbor, Hannah (Odeya Rush). He learns that Hannah's father R. L. Stine (Jack Black), not only writes the Goosebumps stories, but also keeps all the monsters in the series locked up in his books!

As an orphan, Peter (played by Levi Miller) is taken to the magical world of Neverland, where he encounters both fun and dangers, and where he rescues the natives and leads a rebellion against evil pirates.

When Zach unintentionally releases the monsters from the books, the three team up in order to put the monsters back into the books from where they came.

The main bad guy in the story is Blackbeard (played by Hugh Jackman), while Hook (Garrett Hedlund) is Peter Pan's close ally before Hook turns against him. The striking sets and cinematography offer a visual treat for kids and parents alike.

Rated PG (for scary and intense creature action and images, and for some rude humor.) 1 hr. 43 min. (Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures.)

Rated PG (for fantasy action violence, language and some thematic material.) 1 hr. 53 min. Warner Bros. Pictures.
