Alvin and the Chipmunks / Night at the Museum

Alvin and the Chipmunks

Alvin and the chipmunks finds the chipmunks transported from their woodland habitat to the city, where they wind up in the home of Dave Seville. Dave realises the potential of a singing chipmunk pop act and becomes an unlikely mentor/father figure to Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. When a devious record executive enters the picture, however, Alvin and the Chipmunks must deal with both the trappings of fame and their loyalty to the amiable, hapless Dave.

Night at the Museum

Ben Stiller plays Larry Daley, a down-on-his-luck divorced father in this family-friendly tale. Larry has lots of ideas and dreams, but none of them come to fruition. In an attempt to prove his stability to his ex-wife (Kim Raver) and his son, Nicky (Jake Cherry), Larry accepts a job as a night guard at the Museum of Natural History. But the elderly night guards who hire him (played by entertainment legends Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke, and Bill Cobbs) fail to mention one crucial detail: when the museum is closed, everything inside comes to life. From Attila the Hun to miniature Roman soldiers, African mammals to Neanderthal men, and Egyptian mummies to dinosaur skeletons, the museum teems with lively activity. Now it's Larry's job to control the mayhem and show his son that he is, indeed, a great man after all.
