Let me just say two things right from the beginning. I did not see this with Thing One or Thing Two, and I did not pick this movie.
This was a heavy handed, preachy movie with a twist that was given away in the trailer. This took away what little fun might have been available. You [...]

The Bank Job

OK. Let me be honest, I saw this movie with two other people, Thing One and Thing Two. And they had completely differing opinions (as they usually do). Thing Two was pleased by the amount of naked women in the movie, and Thing One was bored by the fact that this was just another ‘Dig-under-the-bank-to-get-in’ [...]
Vantage Point

OK, let’s be clear – this is a movie about a complicated conspiracy, told from several different view points. So, if you hate seeing the same thing repeatedly, or have trouble suspending your disbelief over large bizarre conspiracies – then clearly this in not the movie for you.
If you can suspend your disbelief (or [...]

A sci-fi movie set in the not too distant future in which a team of astronauts is on a mission to the sun. Well, not actually to the sun, but very close to the sun. Close enough for them to launch the “payload” which is a nuclear device intended to re-ignite the sun and save [...]
The Lookout (2007)

I enjoyed watching this movie but it was not too noteworthy. It felt like a watered-down retread of a few other movies. (Amnesiatic Thriller genre). Joesph Gordon-Levitt is definitely the best part of this movie.
Between this and “Brick,” it’s like he is trying to convince the world that he can really act; that he’s more [...]

This is another that slipped by me.
When I hear Kevin Costner and Demi Moore, my thoughts are: Is it 1992 again? Already?
But…

I admit freely and openly, I still don’t really understand the title of this movie. But if you are looking for a fun little movie, with no really explanations of what is going on – this is the one to see.
It was a great creature feature, with lots of action and plenty of excitement. But [...]
