The Bad News Bears Go to Japan (1978)

Pretty crappy.

Waitress (2007)

OK story, hints of comedy. Russell is good at playing distressed characters. When she’s happy, she’s just not as believable.

Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)

Pretty goofy movie, pretty incredible cast. Geena was foxy.

Mission: Impossible III (2006)

Probably the best of the bunch. Tom Cruise can act, and Philip Seymour Hoffman is great.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)

Not horrible. Just wish Adam Sandler was a little funnier.

Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal (2008)

Interesting profile of Fleiss. She comes across as a girl who has her issues but really just wants to make something of herself and have a good time doing it. Her breakdown with the birds at the end really humanizes her. Nice footage and editing. Well-told.

A few kinda scary moments, but pretty lame overall.

The Kingdom (2007)

Good stuff. Knew Berg knew what he was doing back when he did Very Bad Things. Really powerful action sequences. Fantastic cast. Everyone shines without overpowering the film. An ensemble success. Electra was horrible, but Garner has been wonderful in supporting roles lately.
