The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

Reviewed on May 14, 2008

The Wes Anderson quality and quirkiness is definitely there, and he usually gets by just fine with only a marginal story, but this just isn’t enough.

Just One of the Guys (1985)

Reviewed on May 12, 2008

So horrible. Cheesy story, horrible acting, and barely casted. Zabka isn’t enough.

Employee of the Month (2006)

Cook is not annoying. Shepard was actually more entertaining. Simpson is cute but not showcased nearly as much as she could have been.

The Rules of Attraction (2002)

Reviewed on May 10, 2008

Pretty raw stuff. A few too many “cool” kids doing “cool” things, though. A dramatic story, instead of just dramatic characters, would have helped. Van Der Beek is refreshingly slimy and disturbed. Biel’s body in this one is just about perfect. Victor’s travel sequence is genius.

Nothing special, and neither is Keaton. Pfeiffer’s Catwoman might be the sexiest female character of the 90’s.

Reeve becomes a hero for our generation. Kidder is perfect. Haackman’s just getting warmed up, in both the series and his career. The flying is a little wobbly, but overall, the effects are passable. Didn’t realize Superman Returns copied/paid homage to so much of the dialogue from this movie.

4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

Reviewed on May 6, 2008

About what I’d expect for the sequel. Mostly identical characters and effects from the first, with only a hint of newness.

Rocky Balboa (2006)

Reviewed on May 6, 2008

The computer simulation as the motivation for his final fight was a bit weak, not to mention an insult to the recently departed Adrian. If she was consistent with previous films, she definitely wouldn’t have allowed him to fight this one, especially after the brain damage suffered in Rocky 5.…
