Jumanji

Robin Williams

1995

My kids wanted to know what the movie was, and I described it for them as "Zathura with rhinos and lions" when actually Zathura (which came after) was really "Jumanji in Space."

I saw this movie when it came out in '95 and I'm glad it's held up so well (special effects-wise) over the past 12 years. It's a fun movie that occasionally gets a bit creepier than you expect, has moments of genuine fright.

. . . and those monkeys, frankly, are pure evil. Nasty little bastids!
