Watched this movie last night on the new TV and was pretty happy with it. It was an interesting plot line with a few twists and turns along the way.

I thought Gene Hackman, John Cusack, Dustin Hoffman, and Rachel Weisz did a great job with this movie. I didn’t recognize Weisz from any other movies, but she did well in this one. She’s also a fine looking woman, which never hurts. Hackman’s character is a man who makes a living by investigating possible jurors and helping a team of lawyers select the best possible matches to get the verdict that they are looking for. Throughout the movie there is a constant struggle over who has control of the jury and will end up winning the case.

I was really surprised at how good this movie was so I’ll have to bump the rating a little bit for that fact. It gets an A- and my stamp of approval (for whatever that is worth).

I finally got around to watching the DVD. It’s the first time I’ve seen this movie since the week it was released in the theaters. Just like any other great movie, it gets better each time you watch it.

Is this movie just another comic book character brought to the bigscreen? No way! The Hulk brought the comic book feeling to motion picture. You really have the see the movie to understand, but let me try to explain…Many times throughout the film, cut sequences are used to display different angles of a scene, just like you might see in a comic book. It was really a great idea and worked tremendously well.

The way they produced the transformation of Bruce Banner into the Hulk is also a sight to see. It has that special comic book feel to it. The computer annimation that was done to bring the Hulk to life was amazing. I can’t pick out a single scene where I noticed that something physical wasn’t actually in the shot, interacting with the environment. Stan Lee also makes a brief appearance in the film, which he has done in Spiderman, Daredevil, and others in this line.

I give it an A-.

I don’t remember ever hearing about this movie when it came out last year, but it was pretty damn good one to watch. It didn’t remind me of all the other typical save the planet movies that come out every year.

It was a pretty neat story that kept on moving forward and kept my interest. I even learned some little tidbits of information about the make-up of our planet Earth from it, so that was a nice bonus. Hilary Swank was smoking HOT in this flick, even with the mid-length hair, and DJ Qualls (Kyle from Road Trip) did an excellent job as the uber computer geek. The geeky computer stuff in the movie may have been what set it apart (for me) from the majority of the save the world movies that I’ve seen.

If you are looking for a movie to watch one night and nothing is looking good, I’d recommend this one. I give it a B+.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this movie, but it was pretty good. “Okay”….”Yah” For some reason it’s always entertaining to listen to what we (here in Michigan) call the UP accent.

Fargo is based on a true story, but not in the usual sense of a true story brought to film. It wasn’t one of those feel good stories. Without giving too much away I can tell you that it’s about a man who hires a couple of guys to kidnap his wife so that he can make some money off of his father-in-law. The deal is supposed to go off without a hitch, but of course things don’t happen like that.

I really loved how Frances McDormand played a pregnant cop named Marge. She never stopped eating or talking about eating through the entire movie. Overall I have to give this movie a B, but say that is definitely worth watching.

Different. I’ve never seen a movie make a complete 180 so quickly. The movie is rolling along fine, actually pretty good and then all of the sudden you’re like, “What the hell just happened?!”

It’s an older movie, from 1996, but was pretty good. The cast included Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek, and Cheech Marin. In fact, you could include Cheech 3 times because he played 3 different parts in the film. So Mike Myers and his Austin Powers movies are not the first to have one actor play multiple parts.

Sometimes I like movies that are a little out there, and this one definitely was. It’s not one of my favorites, but it wasn’t to bad to watch. However, I don’t ever plan on watching it again.

Since it’s an older movie I have bump the rating a little bit and give it a B.

I had mixed feelings when I saw previews for Underworld. Sometimes the vampire movies are good and sometimes they are horrible, but this one turned out to be OK.

Kate Beckinsale did a good job as the lead roll, playing the vampire caught up in the middle of a war between the vampire and werewolf races. She falls in love with a werewolf, which causes quite a controversy in the vampire coven.

Overall, I’d recommend this movie for a one-time viewing, but it wasn’t good enough for me to actually buy it, so I’m glad I borrowed.

I grade it with a B-.
