	I am watching this movie now and it looks very much like a Lord of the Rings wannabe that cannot live up to its predecessor. There are quite a number of inconsistencies with remarks about God, and another about gods, and the movie delves a lot into the topic of magic as well.

There are quite a number of inconsistencies with remarks about God, and another about gods, and the movie delves a lot into the topic of magic as well. There are Krugs (the beasts), amazons who live on trees and move like Cirque du Sileil acrobats, and ninja-like warriors. I haven't been able to figure out what those tree-amazons are for either. There are battle scenes with strategies that are not convincing. And the pep talk before the battle is not very inspirational. The dialogue traipses between poetic and crude. It looks very much like a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be. I wonder if the book or game that this is based on is as confused as the movie is. I would give it a grade of C. (close)

	Until I read the review. Too bad as the actors involved are usually in a better class of project. Guess I'll not bother with it though, if I'm going to end up disappointed.

	every time i see burt reynolds all i think of is A) too much botox and B) smokey and the bandit. and sometimes i think about that time he punched a reporter for not seeing the original "the whole nine yards" (and who could blame the reporter really...)

Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, they can't wait to feel the freedom of the open road. When this mis-matched foursome - who have grown far more used to the couch than the saddle - set out for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, they encounter a world that holds far more than they ever bargained for. The trip begins to challenge their wits and their luck, especially during a chance run-in with the Del Fuegos, a real-life biker gang who are less than amused with their novice approach. As they go looking for adventure, they soon find that they've embarked on a journey they will never forget. (close)

Tropic Thunder Movie Review

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the movie, but about halfway through my interested started to drop. There were still a couple good moments in the second half, but not as many as I expected.

Pineapple Express Movie Review

I think ‘stoner’ comedies are funny. I’ve watched the Cheech and Chong movies numerous times (although I probably shouldn’t have seen them at the age I did), and I love Harold and Kumar…but would I love Dale and Saul, the stoner buddies of Pineapple Express? The answer is a resounding YES!

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets

It would be pretty easy to be scathing about this movie if it weren't for the fact that I don't think it sets its ambitions that high in the first place. If you've watched the first installment of National Treasure you'll know that everyone involved is looking to make a film that tries nothing more than to be entertaining for a couple of hours.

We Own the Night Movie Review

We Own the Night is one of those solid police movies that tries to rely on straight forward story telling rather leaning on a multitude of action scenes. Unfortunately, the script doesn't really carry the weight of expectation as only Phoenix's character gets the chance to display any real complexity.

The Savages Movie Review

I like dark comedies. I love laughing at things that I probably shouldn’t be laughing at, but do anyway. So when I first saw previews for the movie The Savages, I felt that it was a movie right up my alley, and I was right. This movie is more family drama, but it does have some dark comedy thrown in at just the right moments to help lighten the drama.
