Movie Reviews

Hope everyone had a good Easter.

Here are some reviews of movies I have seen lately. Hostage was not a terrible movie. It kept moving along and didn't completley bottom out at any one time. The storyline is a bit thin, but if you are a Bruce Willis fan it is easy to get caught up in. It was good to see Bruce looking cool again. He has been virtually non existant for the last few years (Hopefully his upcoming movie Sin City won't be another Robert Rodriguez crapfest. Tarrentino should help everyone out at least.) Robots was decent. It is absolutely no match for and Pixar movie, but it had its moments. Most shocking was their ability to capture just a bit of Robin Williams zanyness in the animatd character. Kudos to Fox animators on that one. The trailer, or rather short film for Ice Age 2 on the front of Robots was better than the movie. The new Star Wars trailer is also on the front of that movie. The trailer looks good, but let me remind you, the trailers looked good for episodes 1 and 2, and we all know how those ended up. Constantine was a semi-decent movie as well. If you are a religious zealot, I suggest staying home, but for everyone else the movie should at least hold attention. Some of my friends think it is the best movie to come out just about ever, but I think it was the most enjoyable movie of the new year. Granted, this year has been almost complete crap thus far. There still has been nothing to rival last year at all, but that is what the first 4 months of the year are for I guess.
