This was a great film. Great characters and dialogue, it all worked great together. My whole family enjoyed this film and has watched it several times since we saw it. It is just a great film, the interaction between Fox and Badger was awesome. It is truly a family friendly movie. I even liked the sound track.

The film was slow I wanted it move faster. The acting was just not there. I went in with minimal expectations, and should have had them even lower. The only member of the cast that was worth the money was "Hit Girl". She was great, great action scenes and dialogue, other than that, just not worth it.

If you have kids and friends from High School, you should see this film. I have not been a big fan of Adam Sandler, but in this he works. All of them work its like they all really went to school together. the Cast chemistry was great. Lots of laughs and a little bit of adult humor. I enjoyed it and would see it again.

The story starts off slow and just never can pick up speed. In the beginning Dr Jones talks about some long time friends that have never been talked about in any of the other films. One of them is a college professor that Dr Jones looked up to. Funny he never mentioned him in the past. Now I must warn you there are spoilers that follow so be warned….

This time our Archeologist / adventurer is searching for the Crystal Skull, and who ever finds it and returns it will gain all the power of the city of gold. His adventure will lead him to South America and across the globe, all while being chased by the Russians who want it for there own purposes. This skull is no ordinary skull, its alien, and its crystal. Yes I said alien, and I am not talking illegal immigrant. Sorry I watched the film and had a hard time following it. Imagine Dr Jones trying to find an alien skull, being chased by the Russians, all while dragging along a new side kick it just made no sense. If you must see it then wait until it out on DVD and watch it. Trust me, save the theater ticket money and see something else.

This movie started of hot and just kept going. It had the action needed to keep you glued to the screen. Downey was great as the arogant womenizing Tony Stark. There were parts of the movie where I just hated him for being so rich (and getting all the hot girls) then he would put on the suit and I'm cheering him on. I enjoyed the interaction between Stark and Potts (Downey and Powltrow). The film is well layed out and the director even gets a cameo. Must be nice. All in all this one is one of the top comic book movies and deservingly so. Its worth the time and the money.

The entire cast is here in all there glory. Bigger and better than ever, if you are a fan then this is a must see. I will also say it is a little more adult oriented in the theater than on the TV. The film starts off with one of the funniest Simpson’s opening I have ever seen and never lets up with the laughs. I was in pain about half way through and that’s only 45 minutes, great story and all around pure Simpson’s fun. Like I said a must see for all the true Simpson’s fans.

This is a big special effects movie, and if you go into it expecting more, well to bad. It will not get any awards for acting, directing, or screenplay, but it was well worth the $10 ticket price. This movie was hyped-up for about a year, before it hit theaters. All I could think about was please just be GOOD, that’s it. Not only did it live up to the hype, it out did it. The story was original, not the same old battle for energon or getting the leadership matrix as in the old ones. I even liked the look of the robots, I was ok with Megatron as a jet and not a gun. The action was plentiful and the so were the laugh’s. It was all around a great movie. Sure there could have been more character development, but that would have taken from the actual robots, that’s what the movie was about, Transformers. For someone that grew up playing with these things and watching the cartoons, this is exactly what I wanted to see, giant robots fighting all around the place. For any fan of the original Transformers this is well worth it, and anyone with an open mind will also love it. So check it out……

Director Mel Gibson brings us an incredibly visual and compelling story of love, family, life, and survival. Apocalypto is a bit gory, but it also has action, heart and wisdom all of which out weight the blood shed. The reviews for this film had me hyped to see “Saw” style gore, and I was very happily disappointed, what I did see was a gorgeous culture of vividly colorful costumes, tattoos, and rituals. All together it gives us a looking glass into the Mayan world, from its class system, its warfare, to its religious traditions. The whole story is played out in Mayan with English subtitles, and don’t be alarmed, they are very easy to stay with and the majority of the time you are just watching the action unfold. All in all this a great film with a timeless story.

I mean you got Venom, Sandman, and Goblin, all fighting to destroy Spidey, what more could you need. How about a story? In Spiderman 2 you got a compelling story of the hardship of being a hero. At one point I felt sorry for him and really wanted to help him. This time you just get the hero fighting the bad guy. There is nothing to draw compassion from. It’s just a big fight. Unfortunately it fall’s short of the scale set by its predecessors. In general it was an entertaining movie, but rated along side the other Spiderman films this one was well below par.

From there the film just got all twisted-up in its own story. At almost 3 hours, the movie had fighting off sleep at times and then wanting to press rewind on the other, as soon as you realized the movie had made a right turn, you are already 4 intersections behind. I wanted to see more of Jack, he is the reason we watched part 2, and I thought Chow Yun-Fat’s role would be greater. All in all there were too many unanswered questions, and the fear of a 4th.

Guillermo del Toro’s screenplay is brought to the big screen by none other than Del Toro himself. When a great writer, directs his own screenplay the out come is usually incredible, and this is no exception, great writing and directing lead to a great visually pleasing film. With a normal cast of characters, the main high point of the film is its story. Throughout this movie I felt captivated by the amazing imagery and story telling, it contrasted the beautiful and sometimes eerie world of the Labyrinth with the purely sadistic and terrifying world of Captain Vidal. I know there are some people out there that feel the blood and brutality were not necessary, well I disagree, it helps us differentiate the real from the fantasy. All in all this is a truly visual film, not for the young ones, but I recommend it for any fan of great movies.

I like the way they tie a fictional character in to the story to give you something to connect with. It’s the “Titanic” style, a true story with fictional characters for personal reference. As in “Titanic” it worked well in this film also, James McAvoy who played Dr. Garrigan the personal physician to the president, was very believable. He great and he made you think he was part of the history. Director Kevin Macdonald in his first big directing position really showed his ability to capture the true feel of a war torn country blinded by its Leader. The true actor in this film is Forest Whitaker, who I think is a great actor in general just never got the role that showed his talent at its best until now. He comes to life as Idi Amin and makes you wonder if he too is as paranoid as the general. This film will definitely keep you there the whole time and is worth every minute of it, and at 2 hour that’s not bad. Of course to show the life of Idi Amin you need too show violence and that will get you an R rating, and they do show violence. Needless to say it was worth it and I would recommend to any one interested in seeing a really good movie.

Writer, director Jay Chandrasekhar, and writer Kevin Heffernan brings us a truly hilarious film on the world of drinking games. With a huge cast including Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan as Barry and Landfill, the quarters scene in the bar, and landfill’s attempt to save himself from drowning are classic. Also Cloris Leachman as Gam Gam possible the best grandmother ever, and Jurgen Prochnow as Wolfgang von Wolfhaus, and the infamous “Das Boot”. This movie will have you rolling on the floor and grabbing you sides in pain. I loved the pure comedy of it, no moments of drama or suspence, it is funny thru and thru. With an R rating for nudity and language, and a run time of 110 minutes, this is not for the little ones. So set back grab a beer and enjoy.

. Writer director Alonso Cuaron has put together a visually stimulating and sometimes unnerving view of the future of mankind. The film started off kind of slow, taking a little too long to explain the characters and the situations, Clive Owens role was outstanding as usual, but I had a hard time connecting with some of the other characters. I did like the character Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey) as the pregnant refuge I thought she was very believable. Her connection with Theo worked very well and added to movie. Over all the film was good, with well planed scenes to keep the audience involved in this over all bleak look of the future. I would recommend it just for the ideology of it, at least watch it once.

Director Kevin Munroe and the creators of the turtles, Kevin Eastman, and Peter Laird bring us the continuing story of 4 young mutated turtles and there fight to save mankind. This film has a lot to offer, humor for both kids and adults, great fight scenes for the action crazy, and a story of compassion and brotherhood. I really enjoyed it as did my kids from age 7 to 16. The CGI work was great, not like the puppet movie of the early 90’s. It looked as close to real as a cartoon could get while still being a cartoon. The fight scene on the roof in the rain was great, very well done. The only negative thing I could say about it is the time it took it to set up the big battle; it seamed to consume the entire show. Other than that it was a great way to introduce new fans to the turtles while keeping the original fans as well. It is rated PG and runs about 87 minutes, perfect for the younger ones, and also entertaining for adults. All in all a very good NEW start for the hero’s in a half shell…….

From the director of “Office Space” Mike Judge brings us this very funny knock at the future of mankind. I like the whole “Every thing revolves around sex” idea it just added to the pure idiocracy of this film. I liked it, it was funny and original, and it had a bite of truth to it. I especially liked President Camacho (Terry Crews) that’s not his Latino name that’s his wrestling name, he was great. The film kept me there and kept me laughing the whole time.

Director Zach Snyder brings Frank Millers graphic novel to incredible life on the big screen. This was a purely visual movie, like a comic book in live action. The battle scenes are very realistic and the cinematography is outstanding. The battles were great, no close up flash fighting so you could not make out detail, it was all right there for, and some time even slow motion to really get the point across. I even liked the acting, it was by no means over the top, but it worked well with the scheme of the movie. If I had to find thing to quibble about, and don’t get me wrong, it was hard to find that one thing; it would be the monsters in the Persian army. Could I have done with out them? No. Like I said the movie moved from scene to scene perfectly, if I had to find something that was it. Even the soundtrack was good; it worked well with the whole warrior scheme of things. All in all it was a delight to set thru, and visually pleasing to watch, and I will see it again.

Director Clint Eastwood brings us an incredibly visual movie of the battle of Iwo Jima; unfortunately he mixes in a little too much war bond promotion and life on the mainland. The film does a lot of jumping around, and never stayed in one time period long enough to keep the emotion going. After a while I began to ask my self “Is this before the battle or after?” I think it overshadowed the real story of those six men and there battle both at home and on Iwo Jima. The acting was average as in nothing over the top or spectacular; it worked with the movie. Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford, and Adam Beach play the three survivors of the battle that are paraded around the country in order to sell War Bonds. Of course with the graphic nature of War this film gets an R rating and with a story this complex at only 132 minutes, it falls short of Epic status.

When I first saw previews for this film back last year, I was anxious to say the least. As you know I love War movies, and any chance I can get to see a dog fight between French bi-planes and German Tri-planes with out having to be there is great. Director Tony Bill does not have a lot under his belt, as far as movie-cred goes, nor does Phil Sears, and Blake Evans, until now. I liked it and would have enjoyed it in the theater had I ever made the time go; this one will give them a little up’s in the movie locker room. It had a few little flaws nothing that I could not over look in order to like this film. The acting was on average, with James Franco as Blaine Rawlings, Abdul Salis as Eugene Skinner, and Jean Reno as Captain Thenault, you get exactly what you need to complete this film, nothing over the top. If you like War movies for the sheer impact of seeing a battle without being there, and a good story line, then this one is not too bad.

This is a truly beautiful film with a little darkness all rolled together to make a very magical movie. From the start of this film I was mesmerized by the scenery and the truly amazing style of the world it made. At times it was colorful and fascinating, and then would get dark and gloomy. It kept me entertained and wondering what was real...
