Don’t bother ~
Bourne Ultimatum
Matt Damon-Bourne races to discover the final mysteries of his past while a government agent tries to track him down after a shootout in Moscow. This was nonstop exciting from front to end wish there were more films as good as this one.
My Rating *****
Sunshine
The Sun is being destroyed from inside out by a type of highly stable form of matter that renders nuclear fusion impossible, by turning common matter on its own kind. The only hope is to send a team of astronauts to detonate a massive, highly energetic bomb, able to destroy this strange matter and restore Sun's natural state. This is just too far fetched mixing two genres didn’t quite fly.
My Rating **
Stardust
Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Peter O’Toole, DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer, In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm. Very strange role for DeNiro to play in odd setting Michelle can look fabulous and hideous in this film great make-up and special effects but the story lacks.
My Rating **
Rush Hour 3
Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan. While in Paris, Lee and Carter inadvertently get mixed up with the Chinese Triad crew. Excellent, funny a good spend of money.
My Rating *****
Who’s Your Caddy?
A famous rapper (Big Boi) and his entourage face off against the president of a posh country club who is reluctant to admit the star as a member. This was trying to hard to be funny and it didn’t take itself seriously.
My Rating **
No Reservations
The life of a neurotic, tightly wound chef (Zeta-Jones) changes when she unexpectedly becomes the guardian of her young niece (Breslin) and a new sous chef (Eckhart) appears in her kitchen. This is so a chick flick.
My Rating ***
The Simpsons
The plot (and the exact location of Springfield) is unknown, but we hear Homer's toxic slip-up causes the city to be evacuated -- possibly forever?! A No brainer as far as the type of antics it will have? Slow in some parts not something to watch more then once.
My Rating ***
Skinwalkers
Two packs of werewolves, divided by principles are signaled by the moon of the coming of an ancient prophecy. A small boy named Timothy approaches his 13th birthday, unaware this marks the time of his transformation. . They know that Timothy is a half blood, and will control the destiny of the family. But they also know that Timothy's power will put him in danger, for there are other werewolves that revel and embrace their blood-lust that are prepared to kill to preserve their way of life. Reminds me of BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE which was just out.
My Rating ***
Death At A Funeral
Peter Dinklage, Matthew MacFadyen, Keeley Hawes-Chaos ensues when a man tries to expose a dark secret regarding a recently deceased patriarch of a dysfunctional British family. There were parts of this that had me pissing meself; made you think if tripping can actually be that fun hey why not.
My Rating ****
Shoot Em Up
A loner who goes by the name Mr. Smith (Owen) pacts with an unlikely ally (Belluci) to protect a newborn baby from a determined criminal (Giamatti).Saw so long ago I can’t even remember it so I guess it wasn’t worth seeing.
My Rating *
Under Dog
Jason Lee, Peter Dinklage-A lab accident gives a hound named Shoeshine some serious superpowers -- a secret that the dog eventually shares with the young boy who becomes his owner and friend
My Rating *
The Invasion
Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig- A mysterious epidemic is sweeping the world, but it takes one Washington DC psychiatrist to discover that the disease is extraterrestrial in origin. When her son becomes infected, she and a colleague must work together to find a cure, before the entire world is lost...this is a typical run hide film and predictable and the hokey ending they could have done so much ore with this.
My Rating *
Bratz
During their first year of high school, four best girlfriends face off against the domineering student body president who wants to split them up into different social cliques. This was really bad.
