  REVIEWS
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN
A more grown-up trip to Narnia yields some impressive visual results, but the magic never quite coalesces despite offering plenty of entertainment.

THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI
Beautifully produced film set in 1930s China is a delightful sort of throwback.

MONGOL
Spectacularly produced, visually lush film about the rise of Genghis Khan could, with luck, hit big with the Crouching Tiger and 300 crowd.

WAR, INC.
Iraq War satire tries way too hard to hit its targets.

WARNER BROS.
Guillermo del Toro was confirmed as the director of The Hobbit, New Line's two-part adaptation of the prequel to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Del Toro will shoot the movie in New Zealand, working closely with executive producers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh. New Line will manage production, with Warner Bros. distributing domestically.

UNIVERSAL
The newest member of the Indiana Jones exploring team, Shia LaBeouf, will have a different kind of adventure in Universal's Dark Fields. In the adaptation of Alan Glynn's sci-fi novel, LaBeouf will plan a man who possesses the ultimate "smart pill." Neil Burger (The Illusionist) is directing the script by Leslie Dixon (Hairspray), who is also producing.
