Movie Reviews

OK. Im an avid movie watcher. So lets see what the last 2 movies are that everyones seen. Now, mind you, I RARELY go to the Theatre, Im more of a DVD guy. About the ONLY time I go to the movies is when The Bourne Movies come out. Great action movies, a more realistic James Bond type. But, for the last 2 I saw, today we watched

1 - The Taking of Pelham, 1,2,3 with John Travolta and Denzel Washington. VERY very good movie. Ive seen the original from the early 70's which is a classic, and a 1994 remake with Edward James Olmos, which was eh -just ok. This new one is the best movie Travolta and Denzel have done in a while. Worth renting for sure.

2 - Hardwired with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Val Kilmer. Good Plot, good premise, but the acting, kinda cheesy. Val Kilmer acts like hes trying to make it a comedy, and its NOT a comedy. Im alittle picky, so, Id say go ahead and rent it,just not as good as I thought it would be. So, whatve you guys seen lately ? And include Theatre as well as DVD.

I'm a movie fan as well, but admittedly a bit of a snob.... My son says I don't like anything. Here are my 2 most recent

1. AWAY WE GO - An indie with John Krasinski, Maya Rudolph and a great cast of cameos.... A fantastic dramedy ! One of the best I've seen all year!!!

2. DUPLICITY - Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Very convoluted. It was deemed a big budget flop........ For a reason !
