Monster's Ball
|
A corrections officer (Billy Bob Thornton) and a single mother (Halle Berry) find each other to get through a horrible time in each others life.
|
MB has some top acting, its main characters are some of the two loneliest and down on their luck people you'll ever see. MB isn't love story, more like pity romance. You hate their characters at first then feel sorry for them by the end. Also MB has a few gratuitous sex seines that are really unnecessary or uncomfortable. I lightly recommend MB only for the top acting performances and its twisted characters.

I Am Sam
|
After a mentally disabled man and a homeless woman have a baby together, she runs away and leaves him to take care of the baby girl. He raises his daughter for seven years then social services takes her away due to they think he's not smart enough to take care of her.
|
Sam is a lovable drama/comedy that has almost a Forest Gump Quality to it. The acting is all well performed, especially by Shaun Penn and Dakota Fanning (the little girl). The only real complaint I can give Sam is the foggy ending, it's just a little unclear on the outcome. Sam is a sweet uplifting film that is worth your time.

Black Hawk Down
|
Based on the true events in 1993 during the civil war in Somaliana, on a UN mission to capture Mohamed Farrah Aidid's leaders goes terribly wrong. Most of the city becomes a war zone with thousands of enemy soldiers, trapping
several US Rangers within the city. They fight to stay alive and bring every soldier home, dead or alive.
|
A wonderful and gory war film. There hasn't been a war film of this quality sense Saving Private Ryan. Almost the whole movie of BHD is like the first 20 minutes of Private Ryan. Tons of edge of your seat action and the true look to a bloody conflict. If the sight of blood make you queasy, some parts you'll need to turn away. The only complaint I can give BHD is there really is no plot or memorable characters, the basic plot is get out alive. I do highly recommend BHD, for nothing else you'll learn how bloody a simple mission became in Somaliana.

In the Bedroom
|
Two loving parents try to cope with life after their teenage son is murdered by his girlfriends ex-husband. Then has to deal with the fact he gets a light sentence and is released on bail.
|
ItB feels like it should have been a TV movie of the week. While the acting is all award winning, and many characters get lost after the murder. The plot is predicable and feels to be missing some pieces. Something good should have come out in the end, but instead it's a quick fix to a serious problem.

The Royal Tenenbaums
|
Three child geniuses are brought back together after hearing their uncaring father is dying from Cancer. Their father want to make things right with his children and get his family to love him once again.
|
TRT is a wonderful and funny film. All the characters are full mental problems, enjoyable to watch and well acted out. The whole set and feel of the film is colorful and at times funny. You'll be watching the backdrops as well as the characters on the screen. So if you want to see a family who's more screwed up then your own, I highly recommend Royal Tenenbaums.

A Beautiful Mind
|
An eccentric genius has a natural ability to crack codes. He believes he's helping the US government to decipher codes from Russia. But in reality they are slowly destroying his mind.
|
The plot is full of twists and turns that you'll won't know what to believe half way through the film. The acting is all Oscar worthy and Russel Crow's performance is beyond good. I highly recommend this film.

Ali
|
Will Smith plays the legendary Muhammad Ali in his life from his first professional fight to the Rumble in the Jungle fight with George Forman.
|
Will Smith pulls all the punches in his performance as the Great. But the story left out a lot of the champions life and sometimes goes of track. Ali is a great film but there's little to be learned about Ali's Life. The beginning and end of his carrier was left out. Ali is worth seeing, but don't expect to learn much about the legend.

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
|
An evil Ring that can enslave the world falls into the hands of a simple Hobbit. He, a few of his Hobbit friends, a Wizard, an Elf, a Drawf and a couple knights must take the ring to the valcano where it was made and destroy it.
|
A great fantasy tale has just begun with the first in three of the Lord of the Ring series. If your a fantasy fan you'll get more enjoyment from this film then the average movie buff. LotR follows the book vary closely and may have some people feel that the ending needed more. Over all I loved LotR and recommend it to every RPG fan.

The Majestic
|
Jim Carrey plays a screenplay writer who is accused of being a Communist. After a car accident, he loses his memory and is taken in by a small town who thinks he's Luke, an MIA lost in W.W.II. He believes the story himself and help rebuild the movie theater he loved as a kid. But when he starts to remember his past, it may ruin the life's of everyone in the town.
|
The Majestic is a sweet audience pleaser. The plot is predicable from the get-go, and falls into a formula story all the way to the end. I do lightly recommend Majestic, but only as a sweet feel good movie.

Vanilla Sky
|
A handsome wealthy young tycoon (Tom Cruise) has it all until a car accident caused by an ex-girlfriend disfigures him and ruins his life. He fights to regain his old life back, and soon finds outs the dream of a perfect life is more of a nightmare.
|
VS is a highly original film. The plot can be confusing early on, but by the end it will all be explained. The story is almost a sci-fi, and reminds me a lot of Total Recall's story with weird plot twists that Fight Club had. At many times you won't know which way this story is taking you. (unless you really pay attention). I do highly recommend VS.

Not Another Teen Movie
|
Several high school teens must make a homely girl the prom queen, get laid, have the ultimate party, win a football game, get her first kiss, and get her brother to sleep with her all before prom night.
|
A spoof on the Teen movies, What a great idea! Too bad this film isn't it. NATM is a waste of your time, most of the jokes are repeats of the original films and over used. There's way to many characters that clutter the story. and the only funny character was the "token black guy." I hope to see another Teen spoof in the future that puts more thought in their jokes then just shocking potty jokes and poor remakes of classic teen movie moments.

Ocean's Eleven
|
An ex-con gathers up eleven of the smartest thieves to break into the vault in a high security casino for the ultimate score. But the owner of the Casino just happens to be a mobster and dating the lead thief's ex-wife.
|
O11 is a smart heist film but does have many plot points that are a touch convenient. But these thieves are flawed and smart. The all-star cast are enjoyable to watch and funny at many times. While the Score and Bandits are way better thieve movies then O11, it's still is a great film to root for the bad guys.

The Man Who Wasn't There
|
A simple barber bored with his life gets an opportunity to get out of his boring life, but he doesn't have the money to invest. So he blackmails his wife's boss, (who he thinks is having an affair with his wife) but everything backfires on this poor barber.
|
If your lucky to get this movie in your town This is worth seeing at least once. This black & white film feels like it should have been made in the 1940s. The plot and dialog is ingenious, The acting is all Oscar worthy. This movie is vary depressing, if your depressed already this film is not an uplifting experience. But if you want to see an intelligent movie with so many twists that you'll never know where it will take you. TMWWT is definitely worth seeing at least once in your life.

Behind Enemy Lines
|
An American Pilot is shot down after he unknowingly takes pictures of a secret operation of human cruelty in Bosnia. Now he's on the run from Bosnian troops who are hunting him down for what they think he saw.
|
This is a film I like to call "dumb entertainment". While the action and story pulls you in and want to see how it ends. The dialog, forgettable characters, editing and goofy camera tricks makes this movie forgettable. If you see Behind Enemy Lines leave your brain at the door.

Spy Game
|
It's a C.I.A. offical's (Redford) last day on the job and he finds out that a man (Pitt) he trained gets captured in China during a covert mission. So he fights and plays games with the government offical's to rescue him from being executed.
|
Spy Game is an intelligent political thriller. Robert Redford's character is writin smart, and the mind games he plays to save his agent is smart and well preformed. If you loved movies such as Patriot Games or 13 Days you'll want to see Spy Games.

Domestic Disturbance
|
John Travolta plays a loving divorced dad whose son is always lying to get his mother and father back together, after his mother marries a new man. But his new step-dad has a mysterious past and after he witnesses him committing a horrible crime, no one believes him but his natural father.
|
This is a formula Thriller. A new person enters a family and he ends up to be a psychopath and only one person believes the truth. DD is entertaining but you'll have to leave your brain at the door or you'll notice a lot to mistakes and coincidences in the plot. While DD isn't the worst thriller ever made, it's a cheap thriller at best.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
|
A orphened young boy finds out he has magical powers and is invited to attend a school for witches and wizards. And learns he is famous for surviving the wrath of a evil wizard who murdered his parents.
|
Now I never read any of the Harry Potter books. But if they are anything like the movie, I can see why they are popular. All the characters are charming and well acted. Especially the child actors. The plot is well thought out and the special effects are top notch. This is a fun movie for all ages to enjoy.

Shallow Hal
|
A bachelor looking for a perfect "10" girl gets stuck in a elevator with a hypnotist. He hypnotizes him to see girls for their inner beauty insted of their outer. He falls in love with a large woman, but sees her as the thin perfect girl he's been looking for.
|
Shallow Hal is more of a sweet romance then a off-the wall comedy as in the writers last films Something About Mary and Me, Myself and Irine. Its a lovable comedy with the message don't judge a book (or woman) by it's cover. Shallow Hal does offer many laughs, but if you think it's all fat jokes, then you'll be a bit disappointed. And if you are looking for a sweet romance comedy, I do recommend Shallow Hal.

13 Ghosts
|
A family inherits a weird glass house after their uncle dies. But their uncle was capturing ghosts and entrapping them to work a strange machine that's within the house. The
Tortured spirits get loose and harm all those in their path as all of them look for an escape.
|
Okay, this film takes a lot of "Okay I'll buy that". Like goggles that allow the living to see the dead. And a machine built with in the house with spells on every wall to trap the ghosts. The acting and dialog are poor, and the plot is so silly and unreal you have to be dead your self to believe it. This film is mostly running and screaming from people in ghoulish make-up. I'd only recommand this film if you have no life of your own.

Monsters Inc.
|
In a another world, monsters teleport through children closet doors and collect their screams as energy so they can power their world. The monsters are terrified of the kids and think they can contaminate the monster world with their power. But when a little girl sneaks into the monster world, two lovable monsters must get her back before the Decomtamination patrol can destroy her.
|
Pixar has another master piece to be proud of. Monsters Inc. This film is funny, full of eye candy and likable characters. The story is original and hilarious. The two main monsters "Mike & Sully" are a classic duo as Buzz & Woody was. The detail in the animantion is some of the best ever seen, especially in Sully's hair. This film is a must see for all ages.

The One
|
A alternate universe criminal is hunting down and killing himself in other dementions so all the energy being used by their souls can be all for him. Only the last version of himself fights back and learns the powers of being the One.
|
While the special effects with Jet-Li's "slow motion" fighting is wild to watch, the story and characters are bland and emotionless. If you want to see some way over the top its in outer space fight scenes, then The One is fun to watch. But theres little else holding this movie up. It feels like a bad Terminator wannabe with characters you have no care for. It's far from being "The One" film to see.

K-Pax
|
A mysterious man appears from nowhere and is brought to a mental ward. He claims to be from a planet called K-Pax and has traveled to Earth by a beam of light. The kind "Alien" helps all those in the ward while a Psychiatrist tries to find out his true past and bring him back to Earth.
|
K-Pax is a kind and almost spirtitul film. The characters are enjoyable and well acted. (thanks to Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges) The story of K-Pax is belivable and there is a mystery behind this strange man. The ending may be confusing to most, it has a ending that doesn't exactly tell you straight out what's the truth. (but if you put the pieces together you'll figure it out) The "Alien" does have a good message to tell and is worth encountering.

From Hell
|
It's London 1888, and the legendary killer "Jack the Ripper" is butchering prostitutes on the streets. A detictive who gets psychic visions of the crimes is hunting down the killer and instead uncovers the conspiracy behind the murders, and gets close to one of Jack's future victims.
|
This a grim, dark, and gory film. And its one of the best horror movies this year. Based on the graphic novel, that is like a adult comic book. Its theory on the background of Jack The Ripper is one of the best ever seen on screen. It's dark gloomy look at London looks as if Tim Burton created it. The Hughes Brothers must be a fan of Burton's work. If you want a good thrilling horror, then your movie of choice is From Hell.

Bandits
|
Two escaped criminals become famous as the Sleep Over Bandits. One being smooth and tough, the other being smart and paranoid about his health. They team with a wannabe stuntman and every thing goes as planned, until a woman tired of her life and marriage joins the gang. But she is pulling the two apart and could ruin their perfect crimes.
|
The two bandits are fun to watch, especially Billy Bob Thornton's character as a smart bandet with a germ phobia. Every character has their flaws and this is why its fun to watch these characters, everyone is screwed up in the head. Their bank heists are smart and funny. If you want to see a fun and smart "bad guy" film I recommend this fun caper.

Training Day
|
A beat cop signs up to be a N.A.R.C. and finds his first day on the job the worst day in his life. The training officer turns out to be crooked thug, who has a street justice look on life that makes him belive he's doing the right thing. But the rookie N.A.R.C. soon finds out his trainer is more of a criminal gangster then a rogue cop.
|
This is one of the best movies this year. Top proformences by both Denzel Washington and Ethen Hawke. Denzel's character "Alfonzo" dialog is so great, that he makes it sound he's doing good when he's really doing wrong. Ethen's trusting good natured character is also tops in the acting field. The story and plot is flawless and has many twists and turns. If you like cop dramas, this is a movie worth your money.

Joy Ride
|
Two teens play a joke on a truck driver over a CB radio, only to find he's a psycho who can't take a joke and terrorizes them every where they go.
|
This is a horror movie worth seeing, not to over the top and keeps you on the edge of your seat. If you ever seen the classic Steven Spielberg film "Duel", this movie is a modern day version of that thriller. Joy Ride will give you a scare and make you think twice next time your on the highway.

Don't Say A Word
|
A Psychiatrist's daughter is kidnapped after a strange woman is brought into a mental ward. The kidnappers demand he get some numbers from the disturped woman (who's mind has erased her past) or his daughter dies.
|
This is a wonderful thriller. Michael Douglas leads a well acted cast in this heart pounding suspence. Douglas' character is smart and cool headed, His Wife who being immobile from a skiing accident is a nice touch. And the kidnappers who are high tec master minds, you'll just have to assume they have unlimited funds for all thier expensive equipment even though they just got out of jail. That aside, this film is worth seeing and worth your time.

Hearts in Atlantis
|
A Mother and her young son rent a room to mysterous man who has a special gift and changes the lifes of every one around him. He hires the boy to read to him and watch for the Low Men who are after him.
|
This film is a coming of age movie with a twist. It reminds me of another Stephen King movie called "Stand By Me" (A better movie I might add) While the characters and acting is great. The story needed a lot, The mysterous man needed a more depth and the Low Men should have been used more. Also a better update on the characters in the future would have been nice. This movie is worth seeing for a puzzling coming of age movie, just expect a few missing pieces.

The Glass House
|
A young teenage girl and her younger brother partents are killed in a car wreck and are left in the care of some old family friends. But the girl finds out the "Glass" family are not the caring loving gaurdians they appear to be.
|
This is a smart, down to earth thriller. The characters are smart with human flaws. The sespence and plot will pull you in and keeps you wondering who is on whos side, the villians fool proof plan backfiring due to a smart teen is thrilling to watch. My only complaint that stops this film from being highly recommended is the last five minutes. The ending is out of a bad horror film. (maybe this is why it starts with her watching a slasher film) I do recommend this film, but just ignore the dopey ending.

The Musketeer
|
A young boy witnesses his parents killed by a evil mercenary. He grows up and joins the Musketeers and defends a King and Queen from a evil carninal and his mercenaries.
|
The stunts and fight scenes are the only thing that makes Musketeer worth seeing. The acting, dialog and story is extremly weak. You'll see some fun sword play and wild stunts with nothing in between.

Jeepers Creepers
|
Two teenagers on a trip home from college gets a scare of their lives from a crazy truck driver. But when they witness him at a old church, they investigate and find a horrible secret. The "driver" chases them and wants something from the two, and kills all who get in his way.
|
This movie starts off on the right foot, extremely creepy and horrifying. The build up gives you the willies but once the "driver" gives chase, the movie becomes a goofy monster movie. The first half will really pull you in and give you some good scares, but the last half is laughable and campy.
This movie has great build up with no pay off in the end.

Ghosts of Mars
|
In the far future, man colonize Mars. Five Mars cops go to a mining town to transfer a prisoner, but find the town is empty. They discover the town is overcome by ghosts of the past that possess their victims that kill all who are not like them.
|
This movie would have made a better video game then a future film. This movie is mostly shooting undead creatures with a dull B-movie plot. The undead humans possessed by the ghosts act like a hostle tribe, and the heroes are idiots that think shooting every thing that moves is the answer. This movie has nothing to offer but a bad plot, stupid characters, horrible acting, and a lot of explosions, gunplay and gore.

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
|
The two Jersey dopeheads return with almost everyone from the past four View Askew movies. Jay & Silent Bob find out there's a "superhero" movie in the works based on them. They also find out they're not getting any royalties and its a joke on the internet. So the two hitch rides to Hollywood to stop the film from being made, but get into many troubles along the way.
|
J&SBSB is extremly funny, but only if your a fan of Kevin Smith films. J&SBSB is the fifth in the Jersey series (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy & Dogma) and if you missed any of those films you'll miss half the jokes in J&SBSB. There's also many jokes for comic book and Star Wars fans as well. While Jay & Bob and their cast from past films are vary funny. The parts of the "Charle's Angels" chicks and the moron cop pursuing them will make you cringe in your seat. If you have seen the last four Kevin Smith Jersey movies (and liked them) I highly recommend J&SBSB. If you havn't, rent them and then see J&SBSB. While J&SBSB is no Clerks it's definitely far better then Mallrats.

The Others
|
Set in the early 40's, A mother and her two sunlight allergic children hire new help to take care of the house. but soon descover they are not alone when house has been invaded by spirits from the other side.
|
This is one of the best suspences of the year. The Others is not just a simple ghost story. but somthing more far complex. This movie seems to have taken the idea from another famous "from the dead" movie but added a better twist. You'll be guessing all the way to the stunning ending.

Made
|
Two men of the mob take on a job that they don't know the details of until they get to the each step. While one takes the job seriously the other is a smart mouthed hot shot who makes the job more difficult then it should be.

While Made has a basic mob story, the characters and well written funny dialog makes this one of the best pictures of the year. If you liked films like Swingers or Snatch and are looking for a "smart" comedy I highly recommend Made.

American Pie 2
|
The sex crazied teenagers are back. While on summer break from college, the boys rent a beach house to hold the party of all parties just to get laid.
|
AP2 is one of the funniest movies this year. Every one returns from the first AP and everything that made the first one great hold true in it's sequel. Many jokes require that the movie goer to have seen the original AP. If you plan to see AP2 rent the first one before you go. The only complant on AP2 is it's goofy plot that is beyond the real world. But that aside, AP2 offers a lot of laughs that makes it worth seeing.

The L.A./Hong Kong cop duo have retuned in their second rush. While vacationing in Hong Kong counterfeit smugglers kill all who get in their way. Only a street smart and a kung-fu cop can stop them.

while the plot, dialog and villians in RH2 is bland and recycled from many cop buddy films. Jackie Chan is enjoyable to watch and works well with his smart@$$ motormouth partner (Chris Tucker). RH2 will give you many laughs and fun fight scenes but everything else is a basic formula cop buddy movie.

|
An Air Force pilot crash lands on a planet ruled by apes and humans are slaves and are threaten to be wiped out. With the help of rebel apes, the pilot fights to have humans coexist with the apes and return home.

This is one of the best movies of the summer, great action, villians, characters, make-up and a classic story. This version stays closer to the book more then the original did and There's even a few tributes to the original movie for the true fans. The only complant on this version is the ending. While it is a shock (even over the original) it's a little on the depressing side.

Jurassic Park III
|
A couple cons grant and some merc's for hire into going to the dinosaur infested island to save their son.
|
This is one of the worst movies of the summer. A plot that's so ridiculous you'll laugh, with an ending that goes beyond stupidity. They take three armed merc's and not one shot is fired. I guess they only came along to feed the dinos. It took three writers to create JP3 and all they have done is make one of the worst sequels ever made.

Not only is The Score vary suspencful but has a great twist and turn plot. Great acting by Robert Deniro and Edward Norton really pull you in to root for the thiefs. the heist for the scepter is smart and well thought out. The Score is worth stealing a couple hours of your time.

The story sounds like it came right out of a FF game doesn't it? The animation is some of the best ever seen in a movie. Although some of the supporting cast looked like they needed some improvment. Any one into RPG stories will like FF, but others will get confused or lost in the plot. Some seines are copied off Aliens, five space marines and a scientist kicking alien butt. I would have liked to see some more action and the ending a bit smarter, but overall I did like FF, and would recommend it to RPG fans.

Jet Lei is amazing to watch in KotD, His character and fighting style is the only thing that makes this film worth seeing. The story has many plot holes and the villians are stupid and clumsy. Even the prostitute character is as stupid as the villians. Jet Lei's character is the only smart thing in this whole film.

Scary Movie 2
|
A spoof on supernatural horror films. A bunch of numbskull teenagers have to sleep in a haunted house and are chased after by a ghost.
|
Scary Movie 2 does offer more laughs then the last one. But many jokes just repeat other famous movies. When they stick to the supernatural it works, but when the movies strays off into MI2, Hannibal, Charlies Angels, etc. they lose the whole idea of the film. Theres many "bodily fuild and genitalia" jokes that are mostly for shock value and a cheap laugh. There's some good fun in Scary Movie 2 to lightly recommend it.

A secret group of Spy Dogs protect the world from Cats taking over the world.

A highly original sci-fi story. A.I. is a sad dark sci-fi where humans are dying out and robots are treated like trash. The acting and special effects are some of the best seen this year. My only complants on A.I. is a few plot holes and the dragged out and unnessary ending.

This film was original when it was called Ghostbusters. This film is enjoyable and has many laughs, maybe becuase its follows the script of Ghostbusters down to the letter.
This film was made by the people of Ghostbusters and they must have taking the Ghostbuster script and changed the Ghosts to Muntant Aliens.

Terroists mislead a computer hacker to steal billions of dollars from the government.

With some of the wildest plot twists, You'll never know where this film is taking you. My biggest problem with this film is some of the action seem forced and unnecessary. And for anyone who knows how a computer works will be insulted by this movie. While it was fun thrill ride it was far from a perfect thriller.

In this wild musical, a "performer" in a 1900 burlesque house wants to be famous. A writer and a Duke fight for her love while producing a play.
|
I had a love hate relationship with this movie. One minute in awe with the visuals and music, the next annoyed by its campiness and song choices. All the songs are modern pop songs. When a fat guy starts singing Like a Virgin, your ready to upchuck in your popcorn. But other times they mix several pop songs together into one fun song. MR is a fun little ride that can hit a speed bump here and there.

|
What if the Japanese bombed the Titanic? Thats what this film feels like. The bombing seines are some of the most intense moments you'll see sence Private Ryan is is the best part of the film. The love story is more like a soap opera and is vary predicable. I highly recommend this film of the war seines alone. But overall Titanic did a better job on the love story.

Memento
|
A man with no short term memory is hunting for the killer of his wife. He only has pictures, tattoos and scraps of paper to go by to find the killer.
|
This is one of the most original movies I've seen in a long time. The movie plays backwards. You start at the ending and work towards the begining. Shady characters and you'll even get a luagh here and there. With many twists and turns in the plot you never know what to believe. Its shocking "ending" will really get you talking. This a must see, one of the best films you'll see this year.
