I am gonna start this thread cuz some movies really don't need their own. I'll add to it as I see'um, please do so as well.

What: Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
Rated: R - violence and some profanity
Actors: Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas
Plot Outline: Tasked with destroying each other, an FBI agent and a rogue NSA agent soon discover that there's a much bigger enemy at work.
Review: OK for a guy movie, fairly predictable tho. People that shoulda died a few times from some explosions got up, shook their head a couple times, and kept going - that upped the cheeze factor 2-3 points. It also suffers from what most all martial arts-infused movies suffer from - the whole bad-guys-line-up-and-take-their-turn-to-get-their-butts-kicked-by-the-star - cheeze +1.
Favorite Line: As Sever (Liu) is grabbing all these high-power rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers from her "gun cabinet" Ecks (Banderas) asked: "Where did you get all those ordinants?" Liu: "Some girls like to buy shoes..."
Rating: 5 (out of 10) - doesn't byte, but go to a matinee

What: I-Spy
Rated: PG-13 - some profanity
Actors: Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy
Plot Outline: Loosely based on the late-1960s TV show, I Spy is about a CIA agent (Owen Wilson) whose latest assignment is to recover the Air Force's newest weapon: a stealth bomber. His partner on the case is a professional boxer (Eddie Murphy) who has entered the agency against his will. The mismatched pals verbally jab at each other from the moment they begin playing the spy game, but can they stop sparring long enough to save the free world?
Review: Saw this one yestrday afternoon while my parents hit the outlet mall. Most of the theater was full, not too bad for a matinee crowd Classic Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson - they never stretch too far in their characters and this was no exception. Parts were very funny and the action scenes were pretty good as well. The sideline story of the envy between 2 spies (Owen and 'Carlos') was good and the love-interest with the female spy had its moments as well
Favorite Line: Owen Wilson wooing the girl by reciting the lines from Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing' song - you got to see it to understand
Rating: 7 (out of 10) - very funny, dialogue/storyline could have been better at times

What: Phonebooth

Rated: R - some violence, lots of profanity

Actors: : Colin Farrell, Forest Whitaker, Kiefer Sutherland

Plot Outline: In this intense drama, which takes place in and around a single phone booth in New York City, a man who is being watched by a rooftop killer with a sniper rifle must use the phone to save his life or else risk the consequences of leaving the booth.

Review: This movie (shot in 10 days on one set) moves along at a good pace even tho 90%+ of the movie takes place inside a 2 foot by 2 foot phone booth. A little less than an hour and a half long, you're on the edge of your seat pretty much the whole time Lots of F-bombs, don't bring the kids.

Favorite Line: I can't say the funniest line (involves an injured hand )
The Caller: You're in this position because you are not telling the truth.
Stu Shepard: I'm in this position because YOU HAVE A GUN!!

Rating: 8 (out of 10) - very intense and suspenseful

Colin Ferrel isn't hard to look at, I might go see this one !

What: The Matrix - Reloaded

Rated: R - violence, profanity, one partially-nude sex scene

Actors: : Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne

Plot Outline: Neo and the rebel leaders estimate that they have 72 hours until 250,000 probes discover Zion and destroy it and its inhabitants. During this, Neo must decide how he can save Trinity from a dark fate in his dreams.

Review: If you are a bit lost, you're not alone For a refresher course on the main points regarding the first 2 of the 3 part series, check out this site . The dialogue is too full of self-important blah blah blah... it's confusing because they never answer questions directly - it's usually another question, or a couple paragraphs of 'you are here because you are supposed to be here' and 'our purpose is to fulfill our purpose' - type double or triple-speak. The special effects are crazy good tho

Rated R for language, violence, and a little partial nudity, don't bring the kids.

Favorite Line: (Neo has just battled a hundred or so copies of Mr. Smith)
Neo: He's found a way to copy himself.
Morpheus: So now there's more of him?
Neo: ... Lots more.

Rating: 6.5 (out of 10) - nice evolution in special efx, so-so dialogue, 20 minutes of commercials and trailers before the movie started and the longest set of credits I've ever seen at the end... there's a trailer for the upcoming part 3 at the end

Really wanted to see that one, but Billy's outta town and I swore I wouldn't see it without him. Saw phonebooth...it was okay. I recommend IDENTITY. Very intense.

I don't feel like doing a whole review, but my favorite line:
"What's your name?"
"Paris."
"Never been."
"Well you're not going there tonight!"

Anybody going to see a movie tomorrow??? I'm lonely and bored.

hehe The really creepy part of Identity was that the one common thread between everyone was that everyone's birthday was May 10th. My stomach got queasy when they went around that circle stating their birthdates

I believe we're going to see the Drillers tomorrow night... I should be able to get you in free if you wanna go, call me tomorrow

don't have your number anymore. lost my cellica phone on the colorado trip after i fell on my head and got a concussion and sprained my neck. That would have only happened to me, of course.

Number please?

righttttt...

erasing after getting a couple of strange phone calls, and one from michelle

What: Bruce Almighty

Rated: PG-13

Actors: : Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman

Plot Outline: Bruce Almighty stars Jim Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a “human interest” television reporter in Buffalo, New York who is discontented with almost everything in life, despite his popularity and the love of his girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston). At the end of the worst day in his life, Bruce angrily ridicules and rages against God – and God responds. He appears in human form (Morgan Freeman) and, endowing Bruce with all of His divine powers, challenges Bruce to take on the big job and see if he can do it any better.

Review: When I went to the movie tonight, I had a bad feeling that this one might be sacriligious at least, if not downright blasphemous - I was wrong on both counts. Jim does his usual slapstick physical humor, but has a couple scenes of great drama. What could have been sacriligious turned into a great movie of forgiveness, surrendering self to God, care for our fellow man, and faith, hope, and love. I won't give it all away, but if you haven't figured it out yet, this movie is highly recommended

Rated PG-13 for language, sexual content and some crude humor, don't bring the small kids.

Favorite Line: Bruce has finally decided there's more to life than Bruce:
"OK! You're right! I give up! I surrender!"

Rating: 8.7 (out of 10) - Funny and dramatic. Woulda scored higher if they hadn't killed some enthusiasm with their blanketing of the TV with commercial after commercial.

What: The Italian Job

Rated: PG-13

Actors: : Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Charlize Theron, Seth Green, Mos Def, Jason Statham

Plot Outline: Based on a 1969 Michael Caine film of the same name, a gang of robbers, lead by career criminal Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg), create the largest traffic jam in Los Angeles history, giving them time to pull off a theft of gold bullion. They get away in their Mini Coopers, which are small enough to drive on sidewalks and subways so they can make a clean get away before the traffic jam clears.

Review: If you're a fan of car chases like in 'the bourne identity' and 'the transporter', bank and vault heists like in 'the score', and remakes of old movies of the same type like in 'oceans eleven', you'll love the action and drama that can be found here. Nicely paced with smart dialogue, it makes for a fun afternoon out of the hot sun

Rated PG-13 for language and some violence, don't bring the small kids.

Favorite Line: "I trust people, it's the devil inside them I don't trust"

Rating: 7.7 (out of 10) - Lots of action, some suspense, and not enough Charlize Theron

You sat in a movie theater and I swept the 5 inches of ancient leaves and debris from the TOP of the carport... hmmmmmmmmmm

heheh I'm oncall for our patient, I can't do anything that would keep me from getting there within 30 minutes... like get sweaty and have to go home and take a shower

Life must be TERRIBLE for you

Guess it's better than no excuse Allen. But, I suspect, if the pt. needed you, a little sweat wouldn't much matter. It's still not even spring like here let alone hot.

It's blazin hot here... and it wouldn't be just a little sweat with the amount of humidity added on top Temp and humidity is in the 90's

X-Men 2 was awesome. (I know this has probably been reviewed already.) Good story...lots of action. I wouldnt recommend it for kids due to some of the language and a brief nude scene. (It is a "blink and you'll miss it" scene,but it is there) It was better than the first one.

argghhhh... I missed it

The movie... or the nude scene??????

I saw the movie
