A View to a Kill (1985)
Fun to watch as it was probably the best Bond movie of the 80’s, and one of the last good ones before Dalton and Brosnan and shit stories turned it to crap. But it’s not that great. Moore is OK, Grace Jones is a bit scary.

Van Wilder (2002)
Dismissed it when it came out, but it was funny! Probably the smartest, feel-good school movie since the 80’s. Reynolds is the new Chevy Chase. So happy to see that his style of humor is not lost forever.

Elektra (2005)
Blah. The best moment was probably when Garner kissed the poisonous chick. Garner has a cute face, but it doesn’t seem like she’s much of an actress. It’s unfortunate that she only smiles once in this movie, as that is definitely when she looks the cutest. Awful make-up job. Her…

She’s the One (1996)

The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
A bit more action than the first one. Great car chase. Nice, powerful score, but a bit too much handheld camera.

Garden State (2004)
Braff is in love with himself. It’s too bad he’s not funny or engaging. A desperate attempt to combine the oddball deadpan of Wes Anderson with the crazy darkness of Donnie Darko with an uninteresting story about teen angst (with the requisite scene glorifying drug use by simulating its effects…

Shaun of the Dead (2004)
If Guy Ritchie had made 28 Days Later, this would be the result. Fun to watch. Pegg is excellent. Great expressions and timing. He has a certain Dave Foley quality.
