Quick 12 Movie Round-Up
The Terminator (1984) - (6.9/10) - I still like T2 better.
Deja Vu (2006) - (6.8/10) - I am a sucker for any thing that has to do with the possibilities of time alteration...Makes you actually use your head!
Pucked (2006) - (3/10) - I should have known how bad this movie would be once I saw Bon Jovi on screen. Really avoid.
Dead and Deader (2006) - (4/10) - A cheaply made and poorly written zombie-military movie. Avoid.
Night at the Museum (2006) - (5/10) - I can understand how this movie is considered to be really "bad"...Some movies just have that negative feel to them from the first time you see the trailer to the last time you take the dvd out..(Godzilla...Pearl Harbor..etc). It's a decent single viewing good concept but poorly executed popcorn flick.
Bridge to Terabithia (2006) - (6.8/10)
Watch Trailer:
The Holiday - DNF - I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes. Even I have my limits.
Van Wilder 2 The Rise of Taj (2006) - (4/10)
Pervert! (2005) - DNF - Thought it was a comedy..I was wrong. Bunch of seriously unfunny sexual innuendo and nudity. Turned it off after 15 minutes.
Stranger Than Fiction (2006) - (7.1/10) - I am not a fan of Will Ferrell. I don't think he is funny. I also don't like Jim Carrey...But Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was one of my favorite movies of 2004. The same holds true for Stranger Than Fiction. It has a fantastic story with some pretty clever writing with a comedic star who is not trying to be funny. I really enjoyed this one...
Watch Trailer:
Running Scared (2006) - (5/10) - Paul Walker must love action flicks. It seems like every movie he does is an all-out action movie! This one is super slick and sometimes overly stylized...And good for a single viewing only if you're into that kinda stuff. Oh, and really cool end credits - best I've seen in a while.
The Prestige (2006) - (6.19/10) - Two good actors - Christian Bale (Batman Begins) & Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) + Talented writer/director - Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins) = A Solid movie about 2 magicians trying to one up each other that is really entertaining to watch and requires you to actually pay attention all the way through.
