Meet The Robinsons

This movie is about Lewis, a 12-year old orphan who desperately wants two things, to get adopted and to make one of his inventions work. One day Wilbur Robinson shows up to warn Lewis about an evil villain (Bowler Hat Guy) that is from the future. This starts their journey to the future where you meet the rest of the odd Robinson family. Another cute Disney movie that the whole family will enjoy.

Ratatouille

In this animated movie a clumsy kitchen boy and an amazing rat team up to become the next great chef. Remy, a rat that has an amazing cooking ability knows he could never cook in a restaurant kitchen as himself so he uses Alfredo to disguise who is doing the actual creating. I thought this movie was really cute. I am a fan of the new Pixar movies and find them very creative and enjoyable.

Spiderman 3

Tobey Maguire is back as Spiderman in this 3rd movie about the famous comic book super hero. This movie is as much about Spiderman's battle with his own dark side as it is about his battle against the other evil villains. Not as good as the other Spiderman's, but an enjoyable movie that is worth watching.

Evan Almighty

Steve Carell plays Evan Baxter a new Congressman who is ready to "change the world". Morgan Freeman returns as God who asks Evan to build an Ark. Even tries everything in his power to resist complying, but finally gives in and does as he is told. I thought this was a very funny and cute movie. A great family film that will be enjoyed by all ages.

Transformers

In this movie based off the popular TV series, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) buys an old corvette and is surprised to see it convert into an alien robot. He then ends up in the middle of an alien robot war between the evil Megatron and the good guys who are trying to save the Earth. I really enjoyed this movie. It was action packed and funny at the same time. Shia LaBeouf is an outstanding actor that makes any movie enjoyable.

Fantastic 4 - Rise of the Silver Surfer

In this second Fantastic 4 the four super heroes come up against the Silver Surfer who is doing the evil bidding of Galactus, a planet devouring, meteor looking killer. If you like the comic book type movies you will probably like this movie.

Blood & Chocolate

This is the story of the loup garou or the remaining werewolf pack in Romania. In this movie they are led by Gabriel and every seven years he selects a new mate. His first choice is a young woman/werewolf who does not want to kill or become the next chosen mate. She meets a human male and becomes really conflicted between love and loyalty to the pack. I really enjoyed Olivier Martinez as Gabriel and thought this was a pretty good movie overall.

Next

Cheesy Las Vegas magician Chris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) leads a pretty simple life because he wants to hide his true gift, he can see 2 minutes into his future. When a Government agency needs his help to protect the Country from a dangerous terrorist event he has to put everything on the line. If you watch this movie for pure entertainment you will enjoy it. This is not Nicholas Cage's or Julianne Moore's best movie by any means, but I liked it.

Delta Farce

Three guys out for a "guys" weekend of fun get mistakenly joined up with a group of soldiers heading for Iraq. During a freak storm they accidentally get ejected out of the airplane somewhere in Mexico, but when they wake up they think they are in Iraq. They battle it out with a Mexican warlord and have to become real soldiers. I admit I thought this movie was so dumb I shut it off half way through.

Side Effects

In this movie about pharmaceutical sales, Katherine Heigl plays Karly Hert who even though she has no medical training successfully sells drugs to doctors. In the process she gets seduced by the money she makes even though she questions the ethics behind putting profit before patient care. This is a really good movie, because it talks about a real issue in an entertaining way.

Death Proof

Kurt Russell plays a deranged stunt man who decides he is going to go on a killing spree using his hot rod car. This works out okay for him until he meets up with the wrong group of girls. If you like Quentin Tarantino you will probably like this movie, but it was really one big violent car chase so I found it a little boring.

RV

Robin Williams plays Bob Murno, a workaholic dad who tries to take his family on a vacation and make it to a big presentation for work at the same time. He decides traveling by RV is a great way for his family to spend time together and allow him to get some work done on the sly. Of course there are some mishaps along the way and they meet some other crazy RV characters that make the trip extra interesting. I really thought this movie was going to be really bad when I sat down to watch it, but it was surprisingly good. Not an Oscar winner, but I enjoyed it.

Knocked Up

A one night stand ends up just like the movie title says with successful TV personality Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) knocked up. The interesting part is that the daddy-to-by is broke loser Ben Stone (Seth Rogen). To very different people who barely know each other try to see if they can make something work. A very funny movie but definitely not one for the easily offended. The movie is filled with lots of language, sex, and drugs but will make you laugh often and out loud.

Bobby Z

Paul Walker plays Tim Kearney who agrees to help the DEA by impersonating Bobby Z (a major drug dealer) in exchange for getting out of prison. He quickly realizes there is a lot more going on than he originally thought and fights to stay alive. I happen to be a huge Paul Walker fan so I don't know if I liked this simply because he is in it or because it might actually be a decent movie...probably because he is in it.

The Condemned

Steve Austin plays Jack Conrad a military black ops specialist who gets let out prison to participate in a "game to the death" against 9 other death row inmates. The game is being aired live on the Internet and millions of viewers are tuned in to see the violence unfold. A violent and action packed movie that tries to throw in a few life lessons about the world today.

DOA

Based on the video game, DOA is about a martial arts tournament held on a remote island. Of course the tournament leader played by Eric Roberts has some behind the scenes stuff going on that make the plot more interesting. Some of the contestants unite to get to the bottom of his evil plans and become friends in the process. I have to admit that I liked this movie. I always like Devon Aoki and I even thought Jaime Pressly was pretty good in this role.

Perfect Stranger

After the murder of her friend Rowena Price (Halle Berry) goes on a mission to find evidence that powerful executive Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis) is the killer. I was really disappointed in this film. With two great actors it should have been much better than it was. It does have a twist at the end, but not enough to save it.

The Ex

Zach Braff plays Tom a new dad who seems to have trouble holding down a job and finding a direction in his life. When he starts working for his father-in-law he comes face to face with his wife's (Amanda Peet) ex-boyfriend (Jason Bateman) and things start heading south. Not a very good movie, so I wouldn't waste the time watching it.

Lucky You

Eric Bana plays Huck Cheever a professional poker player who risks everything for the game. As he prepares for the biggest poker game of the year he meets Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore) and his priorities start to change. This movie is about poker, love and Huck's relationship with his father (Robert Duvall). Not an Oscar winner but not a bad movie. I prefer Eric Bana when he is kicking someone's butt.

We Are Marshall

Based on the true life events of Marshall University in West Virginia when in 1970 almost all of the University's football team and coaching staff were tragically killed in a plane crash. This movie is about the new coach whose goal was to breath life back into the community, college, and football program. A sad, but pretty good movie. I thought Matthew Fox stole the show!

Firehouse Dog

After famous Hollywood dog Rex gets separated from his owner and manager he stumbles upon a troubled teen (Shane). Shane and his single father Connor (who is also a firefighter) take Rex in and quickly realize that this is no ordinary dog. This is a cute movie that the whole family will enjoy.

Fracture

Anthony Hopkins plays Ted Crawford who masterminds a brilliant scheme to kill his wife without being convicted of the crime. Ryan Gosling plays Willy Beachum the cocky attorney who tries unsuccessfully to convict him for the attempted murder. This was a really good movie and Hopkins and Gosling had great on-screen chemistry.
