Comments: Good flick.  Pretty funny Adam Sandler comedy throughout, and his dog humps a stuffed animal.  Could have used more Kate Beckinsale, but I'd suggest checking it out anyway.

Comments: This one reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.  Some people love it, some people hate it and some people don't care.  I'm in the middle, there are some pretty funny parts but the movie as a whole isn't that outstanding.

Comments:  It's a Martin Scorsese movie, it's almost given 3 tigerhawks out of 5 without even watching it.  It's got quite a few point blank executions and a ton of twists, definitely worth a watch.

Comments:  This movie was F'in T's. Action that never stops and more killing than you could imagine. Natalie Portman was bonerific as usual. I suggest seeing it ASAP.

Comments:  Throw every role you've seen Pierce Brosnan in, out the window.
Brosnan plays Julian Noble, assassin. Noble is an asswipe, a major asswipe, even for an assassin. He's not suave. He's not debonair. He sure as hell is not James Bond. A burned out assassin, who, on his birthday drunkenly realizes that he doesn’t any friends. Not even one. 
Greg Kinnear plays Danny Wright. Wright is a down on his luck salesman in Mexico on a business trip.
Noble meets Danny Wright, and they strike up a friendship, all though not at first, because Noble is a what? That’s right, an asshole. Much hilarity ensues.
I really enjoyed this movie. Brosnan breaks the mold that he’s been typecast in. I also realized that Greg Kinnear is a good actor. For some reason that irritates me. I think because Kinnear was basically Ryan Seacrest about 10 years ago.

Comments: This is a great family film from Disney.  Very well paced.    There is a couple intense scenes for younger viewers, but the whole family can enjoy it.

Comments: This movie is about big oil and the control that they have over this country.  It's is quite the inside story.  From CIA to FBI, to business analyst, this film has it all.  The problem is that it jumps around way to much trying to get to the point.  End the end you will probably hate your own government.  Still worth watching and you might learn something.

Comments: Chick Flick big time, but it has it's moments.  If you like Christmas movies, this is probably for you.

Comments: I loved this movie.  It's very good.  Iowa loses, but hey sometimes that happens.  It's a pretty fast paced flick with a good message.

Comments: This is part two of a movie that tells about the battle between Vampires and Werewolves.  Tons of action, very well paced, sex, guns, explosions, vampires and werewolves, you can't go wrong.  Plus it's got Kate Beckensdale almost completely naked in it.  Good enough for anyone.  You must really see the first if you haven't.

Comments: A little slow in the middle. They could have cut 15 or 20 minutes out, but still worse seeing. Mater is pretty funny.

Comments: Harrison Ford will never die!!!!! This flick is about Jack(Ford) who works at a bank and a group of robbers kidnapp his family to steal 100 million dollars from the bank. Jack must save his family and keep the robbers from getting away with the money. Could use a little more action, but overall Ford dominates.

Comments: Cool special effects, the plot is pretty out there even for a sci-fi movie.  I'd have to say the best part of this one is Charlize Theron, beyond the special effects and her it's not worth the time.

Comments: Great movie (and not just because Jennifer Aniston is in it).  Thriller that keeps your interest to the end, definitely worth a rent.

Comments: Fucking hilarious, probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in the past year or two.  The guys from Adam Sandler's movies star in a movie about a guy who tests video games for a living.

Comments: This movie is originally foreign, but it's only partially subtitled.  It's a pretty intense movie all the way though with a good twist at the end.

Comments: Some kids traveling around Europe run into some crazy shit (after they run into some amazingly hot chicks at the beginning).  Quite a bit of gore for today's movies, but a good plot and worth watching.

Comments: Pretty cool move that follows Terrence Howard from being a pimp and drug dealer to a legit rapper.  Ludacris appears as Skinny Black, an old rapper from Memphis.

Comments: Good thriller movie.  It takes a solid 45 minutes to get going but its pretty good from that point on, some crazy redneck shit.
