It's officially the second half of the 2008 movie year. Here are the Top 10 Family Films I'm looking forward to seeing over the next 6-months (not counting "Hancock" and "Kit Kittredge", which I'll be seeing and reviewing this week):

10) "Igor" - Sept. 19. John Cusack voices Igor, a monster trying to win a contest. 9) "The Express" - October 10. The true story of former college football star Ernie Davis. 8) "Bolt" - Novemeber 26. John Travolta does the voice of Bolt, a dog who acts in a TV show who thinks he's a real crime fighter. 7) "The Tale of Despereaux" - December 19. Matthew Perry voices the lead character, a mouse. The movie is based on the award-winning children's book. 6) "Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D" - October 24th. It's a LCJ tradition. 5) "Journey to the Center of the Earth" - July 11. Based on the classic book. See the 3-D version if you can. 4) "Space Chimps" - July 18. How can this not be funny? 3) "The Dark Knight" - July 18. The latest Batman film looks like it'll be great. Keep the younger kids home. 2) "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" - October 3. George Lopez does the lead voice. Could be hilarious or could be a bomb. And...1) "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" - November 7. Everybody's back for the sequel. Should be this year's big holiday movie.

Others to keep an eye out for: "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" - August 15; "Fly Me to the Moon" - August 22; "High School Musical 3" - October 24; "Opus: The Last Christmas" - December 19; "Bedtime Stories" - December 25.
