WAR HORSE (2011, Disney, PG-13, $30) -- A story about the ways in which animals can connect people, Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's children's' book is a robust adventure that perfectly blends charm and gravity. At the center of the action is Joey, a fiery colt trained by a young man named Albert (newcomer Jeremy Irvine) and eventually sold, against Albert's wishes, to the British army. Albert joins the Army in hopes of tracking down his beloved companion. "War Horse" might be too episodic to be a great film, but there's no denying its power, sincerity and beauty. Extras: seven featuretttes.

When children embark on the safari of learning how to read, they have a friendly guide in Jan Brett, a world traveler with the imagination of a 6-year-old.
If your kindergartner or first-grader has an Author of the Month program in her classroom, or orders from the Scholastic book clubs, or brings home picture books from the library, chances are good she's read one of the 31 million Jan Brett books in print. Maybe she's read "The Mitten" (1989), Brett's classic adaptation of a Ukrainian folktale about shivering animals who squeeze into a comfy lost mitten. Or maybe Junior has carried home one of Brett's stories about Hedgie, a spunky little hedgehog with a knack for adventures.

* "CHARLOTTE'S WEB": HHH Marquee Cinemas, Park Place Stadium Cinemas. This live-action, computer-animated adaptation features an A-list cast providing the voices of the talking animals and stays mostly faithful to the beloved book. It may be somewhat corny and overly simplistic, but it gets the meaning behind the message right as the story reaches its heart-tugging conclusion. Rated G.
* "ERAGON": H 1/2 MC, PPSC. The movie plays like a script written by a teenager - a smorgasbord of fantasy plot points, character types and brawls. The experienced actors earn the big bucks just for keeping a straight face. It's not the worst dragon movie ever (that would be "Dragonheart"), but chalk this one up as strictly for kids. Rated PG.

A couple of caveats on the list that follows.
It is not complete, but it is fairly comprehensive. Some smaller films may not open when they are slated to or at all, although the dates for big-budget films like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" or "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" are carved in stone. And, conversely, a few films may open unexpectedly.

To avoid extinctions and other harms to ecological health from escalating climatic change, scientists, resource managers, and activists are considering and even engaging in "assisted migration" -- the intentional movement of an organism to an area in which its species has never existed. This article explores the profound implications of climate change for American natural resource management through the lens of this controversial adaptation strategy. It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US. The article explains why contemporary natural resource law's fidelity to historic baselines, protecting preexisting biota, and shielding nature from human activity is increasingly unte...
