Starring: Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Ian McShane, Tyrese Gibson

I am really tired of walking into a movie and not seeing much. All I really remembered from the preview was some guy laughing that he couldn’t be killed. Yes, that was the only memorable part (continue reading…)

I’m glad I went to see this movie first today. I at least got a good laugh out of it before seeing another movie that has 2 reviews on it already. (continue reading…)

Review by Captain Obvious

Will Smith, this guy has evolved so much from the clean rapper and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. After watching his latest offering, Hancock, I can only say that he followed up his role in “I Am Legend” brilliantly. (continue reading…)

Written by: Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember
Directed by: Peter Segal

Review by Captain Obvious

I never got into the old TV show. In fact, I have never seen an episode and after the movie I’m not sure that I will. While that may sound a bit harsh and odd considering the review I will be giving it, I believe it will make perfect sense in the end. (continue reading…)

“Pilot”

The Shield. Anyone who has seen this show can tell you that this is, if nothing else, an exciting show. While it is difficult to get involved with this show mid season or even mid series, it is well worth the entertainment value to buy season 1 on DVD.

You Don’t Mess With The Zohan

Starring: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Emanuelle Chriqui, and Rob Schneider
Written by: Adam Sandler, Robert Smigel, and Judd Apatow
Directed by: Dennis Dugan

You know, I’ve always been an Adam Sandler fan. I loved him on the SNL series, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and a few of his other movies. I had heard people talking in line that this movie was going to hearken back to that kind of comedy, even though the trailer wasn’t all that funny. Simply put, I was in the mood for a good comedy when I went to the theater. I even asked the person behind the counter if it was good and she said it was a lot like the old Adam Sandler movies. Needless to say, she was lucky she wasn’t in sight when the movie was over.

What Happens In Vegas

Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz, and Dennis Miller

Written by: Dana Cox

Directed by: Tom Vaughan

Looking at the previews, I would have thought “great, another romantic comedy that I will be bored with”. Add in another negative that it stars Ashton Kutcher and it gives you a case of nausea before you even buy the tickets.
