Movie Reviews

It's been awhile since I posted one of these...then again it's been awhile since there was anything worth renting or we had extra cash to go to the theater. 
 
Rentals: Spidey 3: Meh....I was a bit disappointed in this movie.  Then again Sony rushed it because they were getting bad mojo concerning the future of their franchise....something tells me Venom was supposed to show up at the end of the movie and be Spidey 4's villain.....
Shrek 3: Still funny after all these years.  Great scene with Snow White gathering the Forest creatures with her sweet singing, then belting out Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and unleashing her furious fury friends on Prince Charming's gang.....
Ocean's 13: Better than Ocean's 12, but still as fun as the rest of the series.  Gotta love a good Con game.
Mr. Brooks:  Oh Noes....a Good Kevin Costner movie for once (he Jumped the Shark when he turned Waterworld into a Love Story....).  A brilliant performance and a great guided tour into the inner workings of a Serial Killer, one who doesn't want to kill but is addicted to killing. 
Live Free or Die Hard:  Woo hoo....talk about a roller coaster ride.  It's a Michael Bay film which means A: Lots of explosions. B: Over the top car chases. C: Bad guys getting shot, stabbed, blown up, etc etc. D: Not much story but who cares.  Actually the story in this one was interesting and the Mac guy from the commercials is in it as the poor sap who gets dragged along for the ride.  He's actually a good actor.
 
In Theaters now:  National Treasure: Book of Secrets.  If you loved the first one, you will love this one.  Cat and I are big fans of the first movie and went and saw this on opening day.  Wow what a roller coaster ride this one is.  Great addition of Helen Mirren as Ben Gates' Mom.
