Humble

2 Stars

Fern (Dakota Fanning) is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur (Dominic Scott Kay) is a special animal, while she raises him--the runt of the litter--into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures--a spider named Charlotte (Julia Roberts)--and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family.

I honestly was not sold on this movie, but it was done well following the book. It seemed like everything was covered. It got pretty corny here and there. The only character I enjoyed was Steve Buscemi as Templeton. Julia Roberts was nice as well.

It's okay to see, but was not worth the cinema. Very overplayed with big name actors.

4 Stars

Starring Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino (Spy Kids 1-3), Kim Raver (Third Watch & The Nine), Mickey Rooney (It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World), Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers), Bill Cobb (A Mighty Wind), Ricky Gervais (The Office - BBC) Dick Van Dyke, & Robin Williams

Very nice holiday film showing a man who is struggling to support himself and impress his son takes on a last minute job that becomes an adventure.

Ben Stiller was entertaining, but Rooney & Wilson stoled the show. Van Dyke did well, too. Attilla The Hun was great as well. This is as definate owner.

Check it out. You'll like it.

3 Stars

Starring Aaron Eckhart & Maria Bello

Movie about a spokesman for tobacco companies all over the nation, who doesn't do it because the love the product, but he can talk and debate well. This movie definately shows a different side to what the promoters of some the most dangerous products go through.

I kind of liked the comedic twist in it. It showed a different side in Aaron's acting abilities. Maria (ER & Cowboy Ugly) also did well as she plays a spokeswoman for the alcohol industry.

One of the best parts was when they argued on who had the most deaths.

Not an owner, but at least worth checking out.

4 Stars

Starring Kevin James (King Of Queens), Courtney Cox Arquette (Friends & Dirt), Danny Glover (Color Purple & Lethal Weapon), Sam Elliot (Tombstone) & Wanda Sykes (Over The Hedge).

Directed by Steve Oedekerk (Kung Pow)

A hilarious flick about a young party cow who learns the hard way that he must grow up and run things. Wanda as usual was great playing Bessy, the blocking best friend to Daisy (Cox). And Sam Elliot did well with that distinctive voice of his playing Ben, the father of Otis (James). If I were to compare this move to another animated flick it would be Hoodwinked. Just as funny.

Definately check it out. OWNER!!!!!!

Another great hit by Pixar. A young rookie, Lightning McQueen, tries to battle it out to win the Piston Cup, but on the way to L.A. he gets caught up in a small town along Route 66 called Radiator Springs. While there he does a little growing up while enriching the lives of the folks there.

Definately worth checking out. Even owning. I love Pixar and I wish they would breakaway from Disney and do their own thing, but I'm not a businessman, just an avid movie goer.

Check it out..........................No, just buy it.

Oh Bugger!!!!

Movie Review

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

The saga continues. This was a great movie. Johnny Depp was a great as ever and it was saweet to see Barbosa at the end. I can't say much more about this movie accept that the Kraken was very gross, yet cool.

Here are some comments of some of my friends.

Cynthia Coffman: Arrgh! It was a yo-ho-hoing good time!

Heather Staples: The innuendo's were cracking me up..though I could have done w/o the scary tentale oogie-ness.

Elizabeth Williams: Loved it!!!

Megan Monzel: There should have been tentacle sex. I mean, look at how phallic Davey Jones' head was!!!

Peter Overland: Wonderful!

Kelley Hartsell: loved it! already saw it a second time too. :-)

Winderful Andravin: YO HO! Swash me buckle and tickle me pickle, savvy?

Lindy Rosado: The ending was like a walk down the plank! And now we have to wait a whole year to finish the story?! BOO

Laura Hardison: IT SUCKED

Movie Review

Superman Returns

After 5 years the man returns. This was a great movie done by Brian Singer (X2 & Usual Suspects) starring Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, & Kevin Spacey. Spacey was the perfect choice in place of Hackman to play the role of Lex Luthor (very twisted character). A lot of folks would say the story line was pretty lame, but if you think of it. No one thought very highly of any of the Superman movies except for Superman II when he battle General Zod and his partners in crime. People loved that one.

So in the light of that I felt this Superman definately follow the ways of the old movies. Very impressive given how some of the other comic book films that sway or change from the origional story flow.

I definately recommend this movie to any action, sci-fi, comic book fan. You will enjoy it. Check it out.

Whoop That Trick

Movie Review

Hustle & Flow

Starring Terrance Howard, Hustle & Flow is about a pimp (D Jay) who decided to move on with his life and engage the rap arena. He runs into an old friend from school, Kay (Anthony Anderson), who currently does music production for various groups including his own church, and asked him on way he can start the venture.

I felt the movie was neccessary top show, but I felt that it could have had more tecture. Even though I not too much into current hip hop now, I enjoyed some of the tracks D Jay & Kay laid down. It definately shows why some of the lyrics released by some artists are the way they are. They are basically telling life the way they see it in the only language they know. As they would say, if you don't like it don't listen to it.

This movie also stars DJ Qualls, Taryn Manning & Taraji P. Henderson with a short apperance by Ludacris.

I would definately recommend everyone movie appreciator to check out this movie. See Saw on being an owner, but probably not a waste of money. Check it out.

Movie Review: Nacho Libre

From the Director of Napoleon Dynamite, Jared Hess drops presents Nacho Libre. This movie stars Jack Black, Ana de la Reguera, & Hector Jimenez and is a hilarious flick about a orphan turned friar who always dreamed of being a luchador (Mexican Wrestler). He recuits Esqueleto (Jimenez), a homeless man who robs anyone on his turf for nachos, and they together take on the many experienced wrestlers in Lucha Libre.

A very entertaining movie with some predictable parts and some wierd twists. The most memorable part in this flick is when Nacho (Black) sings before one of his big matches. Very Tenacious D style.

If you loved Napoleon you'll like Nacho. Peep it. Definate Owner.

Darn Irish

Movie ReviewTristan & Isolde

Starring James Franco (Spider-Man & Annapolis), Sophia Myles (Underworld & Art School Confidential), and Rufus Sewell (Bless The Child, Knight's Tale, & Legend Of Zorro) this movie shows the dark side of the Irish Kingdom after Roman rule.

Not much to say about this flick except the fight scenes were pretty impressive. Other than that the movie was pretty predictable, something I don't like to hear from people, but if it is it is. It wasn't a bad movie, but then again I'm not sure what more could have been done with the story.

Definiately check it out if you are into midevil romance stories. Borderline Owner.

Saw this on DVD so no friend comment, but if you saw it feel free to give a comment.
