So at least "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" has a lot more on its mind - and a much more beneficial message for girls - than last summer's candy-coated movie-based-on-a-doll, "Bratz."Heck, "Transformers" did, too, for that matter.That's also precisely why it's such a letdown when this tale set in the Depression rushes to wrap things up with a neat, pretty bow at the end.It is encouraging, though, to see women in lead roles both in front of and behind the camera.

"Kung Fu Panda" is one beautiful-looking movie. If only the story and comedy were half as absorbing. With the latest computer animated feature from DreamWorks, directors Mark Osborne and John Stevenson have delivered an entertainment in which it's obvious that attention has been lavished on the composition of each frame. The colors are subtle and enticing. The lighting sublime. The character animation little short of spectacular. More
