Brothers Grimm

When : Aug 28st 2005
Title : Brothers Grim
Starring : Matt Damon, Heath Ledger
Plot: Brothers con superstitious villagers into paying for exorcisms, until they encounter the real (or perhaps the unreal) supernatural.
Review : Very confusing plot line, felt as if huge chunks of the film were just hacked out. There is some great comedy as you would expect from Terry Gilliam but they could not make up for the patchy story and the "is this real or is this not" feeling one got.
Rating: C

Valiant

When : Aug 21st 2005
Title : Valiant
Starring : Ewan McGregor
Plot: Undersized wannabe hero signs up to fight the Hun, exhibits bravery beyond his stature to safe the day and win the war… did I mention he was a pigeon?
Review : Animation wasn’t the best and the story was kinda weak, but the comedy was good and easy for the adults and kids. Some of the language may be a little tough for those non Londoners out there Favorite line “you should be Yay high and your not even hey high”

Red Eye

When : Aug 19th 2005
Title : Red Eye
Starring : Rachel McAdams / Cillian Murphy
Plot: Creepy guy meets girl on plane and terrorizes her, girl gets even and then some!
Review : Very tense thriller, and man is that guy creepy looking. Several bits to make you jump out of your skin, and some pretty gruesome imagery. This film was somewhat spoiled by the number of kids in the audience, serve us right for going on a Friday, but still this film was well worth the ticket price. Favorite line “there goes your pen dude”
Rating: B+

The Island

When : Aug 6th 2005
Title : The Island
Starring : Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Sean Bean (one of my favorites)
Plot: ## Semi spoiler ##Futuristic setting for the survivors of a contamination that has made earth uninhabitable, except for "the island". Survivors wait the chance to win the lottery to go to the island, Reality is that they are clones being kept illegally for the rich and famous to provide replacement body parts. All runs smoothly until one of the clones gets curious....
Review : We didn't go see this when it came out because it sounded a little too weird, but when Dukes of hazard got panned we decided to give it a whirl. I am so glad we did, this was a great film. The storyline worked much better than I had imagined, the Acting was superb and the action was truly awesome, I do not understand why this film never made much of a splash. Best line in the film is when Jordon 2 delta asks their human helper why the "clients" wouldn't want a visit from their clones he informs her "Just cause you wanna eat the burger, doesn't mean you wanna meet the cow"
Rating: A

Title : Sky High
Starring : err no one..... well maybe the parents were famous, but whatever....
Plot: Son of two superhero's first day at high school and he doesn't know what his powers are..... lots of angst.
Review: I knew I was going to hate this film from the first teaser 6 months ago... I have to admit I was 100% wrong. It is actually a pretty good film. Plot is kinda obvious, but its a kids movie and it is very funny, quite fast paced and reasonably well acted.
