ON [Mary Timony]'S FIRST TWO SOLO DISCS, Mountains and The Golden Dove, the former Helium frontwoman waxed poetic about ghosts, mythology and forest creatures. She asserted her grip on reality with artfully worded musings on the stuff of daily life: failed relationships and the complexity of human interaction.

The mythology here, taken from the best-selling novel by Cornelia Funke, is mind-bogglingly dense and, often, illogical. Maybe it worked better on the page; on the screen, from a script by Pulitzer-winner David Lindsay-Abaire, it feels like an onslaught.
Brendan Fraser brings his typically stoic demeanor to the role of Mortimer "Mo" Folchart, a bookbinder who's been trolling secondhand stores for years looking for the medieval adventure "Inkheart" in hopes...
