It's So Great?!?!?!?!

2.5 Stars

This cute film shows how a mother who cares too much about her daughters tends to forget about her own well being.

Starring Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore, Gabriel Macht, Lauren Graham, Piper Perabo, Tom Everett Scott and Stephen Collins. I felt this film was pretty cute and entertaining, but moved a little too fast given though it was an hour and 40 minutes long. It does show to me how far Mandy Moore has gotten in acting verses singing.

My wife says it's an owner. I'm not sure. Check it out if you like. No Recommendation.

Shell Shock

3 Stars

After the fall of Shredder the 4 ninjas fall into the shadows and split into their own words, but a new menace over 3000 years olds brings the brothers back and they learn the true meaning of Honor, Loyalty & Family.

This Turtles movie was probably show in the best format I have ever seen, good old CGI provided by Imagi Animation Studios of Hong Kong, China. It includes the voice talents of Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: TNG & X-Men), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), ZiYi Zhang (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Kevin Smith (Clerks & Dogma), and the late Mako (Memoirs Of A Geisha & Conan The Destroyer).

It still follows the typical ways of the turtles: Leonardo the Leader, Donatello the Genius, Michelangelo the Knucklehead, and Raphael the Rebel, but it was nice to check out something that doesn't feature the typical Shredder-Footman battle format.

This is a good film to check out if you wish. A definate owner for me.

BWT look for a trailer for Underdog...............Yes Underdog!!!!!!!

We Can Be Civil

4.5 Stars

We went to check out the Epic film 300 in IMAX and man it was very impressive. It is from the master of the 2005 hit, "Sin City", Frank Miller. I would place this in level with Sin City without the twisted sides of Tarantino & Rodriguez (BTW check out Grindhouse on April 6th).

Pretty much the Spartan King Leonidas decided to take on the Persian Tyrant, Xerxes before he overuns all of Europe. The cinematography & direction was great and the action was amazing.

None of the actors in the film is extremely memorable at first, but David Wenham (Dilios), played Feremir in Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers & Return Of The King.

I feel this is an owner and I highly recommend checking it out. In IMAX if you can afford it.

Enjoy..
