Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Starring Josh Hutcherson, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Michael Caine Directed by Brad Peyton Rated PG As a movie reviewer, when I sit down and write my thoughts on a particular film, I sometimes need to alter my process.  I really can't rate something like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island on the same scale as last year's Drive , or 50/50 , or anything with a deep or complicated plot and characters.  But as a family film, it does its job really well...
