Wanted Review in 5 Sentences or Less
PostedJuly 4, 2008
Wanted, the comic mini-series by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones, makes it to the big screen from director Timur Bekmambetov who brought us the Russian action, dark-fantasy film Nochnoy Dozor, or titled Nightwatch for American audiences. I picked up the graphic novel that collected this mini-series to see how the movie would be departing for the original source material. In the comic, the league of assasians was formed by the super-villians to rid the multi-verse of its super-heroes where as in the film they are an ages old guild that commits a single murder to save hundreds more. Either way the movie works well and is a high-octane, R-rated, violent, fun-fest with Angelina Jolie thrown in to sweeten the pot. Leave the kids home and get to your local theater now to check this out.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Indy 4 Review in 5 Sentences or Less
PostedJuly 4, 2008
After ninteen years, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas finally bring us the fourth installment of Indiana Jones. It is truly awesome to see our favorite archeologist back in action and playing some-what age appropriately. The nods to the previous films and cameos make the film a nostalgic joy. Everyone should see this film as soon as they can. I still think Marion should have punched Indiana when that met again for the first time but you can not have everything I guess.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Incredible Hulk Review in 5 Sentences or Less
PostedJuly 4, 2008
The Hulk is finally back on the big screen and I will say it here first - it is not as good as Iron Man as Marvel Studios would like you to believe but it is fun. The opening scenes take great effort to purge any links to Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk and firmly tie it to The Incredible Hulk television series. The cameos by Stan "the Man" Lee, Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno are great and well done as well as the signature Hulk images from the comics. With the Tony Stark appearance at the end of the film, it is good to see Marvel is using their films to cross promote their properties and set expectations for future releases and an unfolding of a Marvel universe on the bid screen. So is the next film going to be about the Leader starring Tim Blake Nelson?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Happening Review in 5 Sentences of Less
PostedJuly 4, 2008
M. Night Shyamalan is back with his latest film starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel. I am a fan and love the films The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and The Village but this one is by far the weakest effort yet. The character development is almost non-existant, the whole disappearing bees thread is brought up and just dropped as quickly, and the environmental revenge theme does not work or pays off. The premise was there but just did not seem to get executed or delivered on. I was much happier watching The Incredible Hulk earlier in the day.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
