| The Musketeer (PG-13)
Mena Suvari Catherine Deneuve
Stephen Rea
Tim Roth
Justin Chambers
|
Another mediocre summer flick. If you enjoy the tale of
the three musketeers (I do otherwise this would probably be a 5/10)
then you will probably like this movie. It tells the tale of
D'artagnan who as a young boy had his patents killed by the sheriff of
the cardinal. He plots revenge and becomes involved with the queens
helper (Mena Suvari) and falls in love. Blah Blah Blah, action,
Blah Blah, action. The plot in this movie is thin but existent
and holds together the movie till the final battle sequence. The
special effects are pretty good and you can hardly tell when they are
blue (green now?) screening. The fight scenes, mainly the beginning
and ending ones, are very cool though somewhat unrealistic. If you are
looking to burn two hours then this is a very good way to do it
otherwise wait to rent the video! |

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (R)
A whole crapload of people from many different movies and
television shows! |
Right away I want to say that there is an awful lot of
swearing (mainly f***) in this movie! It is definitely a Kevin Smith
movie! If you enjoyed any of his previous movies (Dogma, Clerks,
Mallrats, Chasing Amy, I am sure I am missing some but oh well :-) The
main plot is that there is a Jay and Silent Bob movie being made in
hollywood and there are a bunch of posts at www.moviepoopshoot.com
about how much balls Jay and Silent Bob suck so they decide to go and
stop the movie from being made! There are a WHOLE TON of great actors
in this movie and it has its moments! This is a definite must see for
the teenage and 20 something crowd as well as any older Kevin Smith
fans! |
8/10 |
| Rat Race (PG-13)
Seth
Green Cuba Gooding
Jr. Whoopie Goldberg Rowan Atkinson (Mr.
Bean)
Jon Lovitz
John Cleese Many more!
|
I would recommend going to see
this in the theaters! There are many subtle details that can only be
enjoyed with a big screen and surround sound! This great cast
combines for a terrific film! There are several reoccurring themes
that are absolutely hilarious! Just because there are no many
exclamation marks I will add some more!!!!! Listen to the soundtrack
of this movie while you are watching it! There are some crazy songs!
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy! Some some exclamation marks!!! PG-13
for crudeness I think. |
8/10 |
| Original Sin (R)
Angelina Jolie Antonio
Banderas
|
Basically, Angelina Jolie is hot. Period. There are
almost as many plot twists in this movie are there are scenes with
nudity. This is definitely not one for the kids! If you are a mature
adult you would probably enjoy this movie for all of the things that
make you think about what's going on! It is kinda hard to keep track
of everything if you have a short attention span but otherwise it is
a very cool movie! Rated R for lots of topal (is that a word?)
nudity and the showing of Antonio Banderas's booty! |
7/10 |
| Rush Hour 2 (PG-13)
Jackie Chan Chris
Tucker
|
One word ... Funny! The dynamic duo Chan and Tucker
are back in this sequel to do battle with a Triad Drug Lord! There
are a lot of very funny scenes are well as some very cool action
sequences. If you at all liked the first Rush Hour you will enjoy
the second as much if not more than the first one! Even if you
haven't seen the first one you will enjoy this movie! It is save to
take your whole family to this movie. The PG-13 rating is for the
action and a scene where they show a butt (oh my! not a butt!). |
8/10 |
| Planet of the Apes (PG- 13)
Charlton Heston Mark Wahlberg Tim Roth
|
This movie was very similar to the original but it was
also very different. If you enjoyed the first one then you will
probably enjoy this one! The plot follows similar lines as the first
one and the make-up effects for the apes are not much improved over
the first one. Mark Wahlberg does a very good job playing the part
of a hero. PG-13 for violence and sci-fi themes. |
6/10

| Jurassic Park 3 (PG-13)
Sam Neill William H.
Macy Tea Leoni
|
It is very easy to see that this was the third movie.
They tried to make it so that this movie took place chronologically
between the first and second movies but that really doesn't have
much bearing on the film itself. Regardless of the addition of
William H. Macy to the cast this movie still bit the big one. It is
blatantly racist as the only black man in the whole film is killed
within the first five minutes of when they land on the island. It is
rated PG-13 for sci-fi themes?? and violence. It is no worse than
the first two in either of those categories but I wouldn't take
young kids to it because of the nightmare factor. |
2/10

| The Score (R)
Marlon Brando Edward Norton Robert Deniro Angela Basset
|
A very good 'heist' movie with an excellent cast!
Although it is a bit predictable it is still a very good movie to
watch. The 'surprise ending' is also a bit predictable but it is
enjoyable none the less. It is a very good movie and the only reason
it is rated R is because they use the F word for seemingly no
reason. It could have easily been a PG-13 movie without losing any
of its charm. Robert Deniro delivers another excellent performance
as a shady character and it is great to see Marlon Brando back
acting although he has changed a bit physically (lets just say he
doesn't walk a whole lot and when he does he is out of breath).
Overall a great movie!. |
8/10 |
| American Pie 2 (R)
Original Cast
|
I have been getting mixed reviews from
people at work about this one. Here is my personal opinion! I
thought that the original movie was much better although this one
did have it's funny parts! It seemed to drag on more than was
necessary and there were some boring parts. There were some very
good gags but not nearly enough to fill the whole 2 hours! The movie
was based in Michigan close to where I live so I was probably able
to relate better to it then others. This is a great movie to go see
if you are bored and have nothing better to do but don't take your
kids! Rated R for
strong sexual content, crude humor, language and drinking. |
6/10 |
| Black Mask (R)
Jet Li
|
That is one weird movie! It was dubbed over and most
of the voices had a British accents! There was some cool kung fu
fighting but there wasn't too much of a plot! Definitely an OK movie
to rent but I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you liked Kiss of
the Dragon which is somewhat similar to Black Mask! |
5/10 |
