Speed Racer

After the death of his racing legend older brother, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is determined to be as great of racer as his brother was. When some corrupt bad guys try to take over it is up to Speed Racer and another mysterious driver to save the sport. Even with a great cast this ended up being a very cheesy movie with way overdone special effects.

Transporter 3

Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is called on again for another death defying transportation job only this time the bad guys don't really give him a choice about doing the job. Of course along the way they realize the hard way that Frank Martin doesn't like being told what to do. The action and fighting sequences are always far fetched but lots of fun for us action junkies to watch.

The Dark Knight

Christian Bale is back as Batman in this next installment of the popular series. Along with Bale, Heath Ledger stars as The Joker who plays an amazingly evil bad guy determined to bring mayhem to Gotham. Aaron Eckhart, and Maggie Gyllenhaal round out this star studded cast as Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes. Probably the best Batman yet and that might be in part due to the amazing Oscar-winning performance by Ledger.

Tropic Thunder

Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. all star in this comedy about three actors who start out making a war movie, and unknowingly end up in a real war. Very politically incorrect in much of the dialogue but comedy lovers will think this movie is hilarious. One of those movies I would describe as "dumb but funny".

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

After waiting a year the four Pevensie children are finally called on again to return to Narnia. This time their task is to help Prince Caspian claim his spot on the thrown and return Narnia and all who live there to the previous glory. I found this one as enjoyable as the first and look forward to the third.

Hancock

Will Smith plays a not so superhero in this movie about a man with superhero powers but that most the world dislikes because he is bitter and mean. One day he saves Ray, (Jason Bateman) a public relations agent, who tries to repay him by cleaning up his image and making the world love him. As he gets to know Ray and his family Hancock finds out some new information about who he really is. An enjoyable movies because it was not your typical superhero movie.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

In this movie Brendan Fraser plays a scientist who just cannot accept his brother's death, so when he finds some cryptic notes one of his brother's books he takes off on a journey to find the truth. I'm sure this was not an easy novel to make into a movie and really it was not well done, but some will find it entertaining.
