Fools Gold

So Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are at it again, and this time there is no bad karaoke "Your so vain".. [How to lose a guy in 10 days]. Now Fool's Gold really isn't anything to rant a rave about. It's just a filler for the date crowd at the movie theaters, yes there is a but. It's cute and flows from start to finish with your typical Hollywood styling. You can curl up on the couch and watch this one, and it might even get you in the mood. Kate is hot! and Matthew is his normal buffness. So it's eye candy for the married types.

It's a rental for a curl up on the couch.

Sydney White - And the Seven DORKS!

Amanda Bynes is such a cute gal! I guess after all the screenplay adaptations of Cinderella, someone needed too.. maybe even had to do a Snow White re-telling, with valley girl angst!

Dumb Blonds, Dumb Dorks, Dumb idea for a movie, but it still pulled off a hour of so entertainment. Okay It was that or house chores.

The Game Plan

Ok.. Rock Fans! I guess this ones for you.. How many times is he going to play a football player. Does he have an IQ.. Really Does HE?

The Game Plan is actually a really cute family movie, it safe for the little ones to watch, of course. It's Disney!

So pack your pre-schoolers into the room, they will be the ones who get the most out of this, and maybe the couple of daddys that get a little touched!

Rating: 3 Kernels out of 5.

If you have kids, you might consider picking up a copy!

The Invasion

Sometimes when the planet is threatened by global takeover and the loss of humanity, it’s may not be by big green, take me to your leader aliens. Yes, this is a remake of the classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Its biggest flaw was that its deviation from the original made the story line hurried, leaving the loss of storyline, and classic story detail that made the first so original.
Overall this take of the bio-organisms that crash land to earth, with the intention to use human bodies as hosts, was up-dated to the current Hollywood special effects and scientific standings. With pod people being replaced with organism infection, at least they kept the “Your conscious is stolen while you sleep!”

Maybe if I run into the director or screenplay writer, I’ll point and scream at them. Maybe they will realize that doing it once in the movie was pointless and completely stupid.
I’ll try and keep my emotions in check, I don’t want to be taken away!

Rating 2.5 Kernels out of 5 (maybe it just didn't live up to the first one for me)

Resident Evil: Extinction

So our video game drama, unfolds for a third installment. It seems this time that the virus has taken over the entire world, leaving hardly a non-flesh eating soul.

The movie, in it's done it before. Nothing really new and cool. Had a script that was half hearted, with a hitchcock esk' moment (Infected Crows). It still was enough to give me my fix of my resident evil video games days! I'm sure all of the RE-Cult fans enjoyed something about it.. also the fact the fourth is almost a gaurantee!

Kernels: 3 out of 5..
Rent or Buy: It's a rental.

I am Legend

Another Will Smith movie, another blockbuster! For a movie that for most of it, it's cast was minimal. It sure wasn't boring.

It's about the end of the modern world. A cure for cancer goes horrible wrong and mutates into an air born virus, killing ninty percent of the worlds population. Leaving the remaining ten percent mutated monsters.

It's a thrill ride, has a great amount of jump out of your seat scares, and half decent computer animation.

The Heartbreak Kid

It's a cute movie! Again there is a growing trend to see what movie can out do the next with the racey, sex scenes. Keep this away from the little ones! It's rated R for a reason.

Rush Hour 3

The third installment of Rush Hour. Well if you are a fan, you might enjoy this for the fact that it's another Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker experience.

It actually isn't anything to really go on about, it's slow. Chan doesn't do as many of those, "Oh my" fight scenes. It also doesn't have as much of the comedy factor that 1 and 2 did.

Overall Rush Hour 3 is a bit boring, less exciting, kinda re-hashed hollywood drivel that we are coming to expect from franchise sequels.

Oh well, maybe Rush Hour 4 will actually have a great story line!

Good Luck Chuck

It's been a long time coming, a fresh new comedy! Something that makes you laugh. Good Luck Chuck is a silly, shoot from the hip comedy that starts you laughing from the start and keeps you smiling and laughing all the way to the end.

Now it's a little over the top with the sexual content, it gets the booby prize of the year award, as I have not seen so many breasts in a single movie, it rivals any adult film for quantity of different females dawning their tops!

Once you get passed the sheer nudity, it really is a fantastic movie. It's funny and fresh. Jessica Alba is extremly hot, Dane Cook does a great job.

To be cursed (Mind the pun), with the ability to send any woman to the alter with the next guy after having sex with any woman, Chuck - the main character falls for a penguin keeper. Finds out that this curse could cause him to lose her.

The plot is truely stupid, and it's probably why it was so simple to laugh! Laugh.. and Laugh some more.

Rating: 4.5 Kernels out of 5

Buy or Rent: Rent for sure. Will have to see it again before I decide if it's a movie that can be seen more than once and still make you laugh as much.

Stardust

Silly and Fun, Stardust is a cute fantasy adventure that doesn't wow you, but is enough to make smile after it's over.

You'll be taken on a fantasy adventure,which for what it is, was a fun escape, and as I mentioned, is a silly a plot line, but some of the best fantasy movies have been.

Join the adventure to crown the king of stronghold and a man's search for his true love.

Rating: 3.5 Kernels out of 5

Buy or Rent: Rent.

This movie is clean and fun and can be watched by the entire family.

The Bourne Ultimatum

Once again Jason Bourne is back in another fantastic action pack spy/assasin vs the CIA.

If you want another thrill ride, sit back because that is exactly what you'll be getting. It's a edge of you seat movie.

This is one franchise that I've enjoyed as much if not more than the Bond 007 movies.

Rating: 4.5 Kernels out of 5
Buy or Rent: Get all three!!!

The Nanny Diaries

I kind of expected this to be a comedy, I guess I missed the trailers on this one. It missed being cute, It felt like a long drawn out trip to nowhere!

Scarlett Johansson was flat in my opion!

If you're looking to waste a few hours! Watching this film will do it! What a waste of time.

It's about a graduate that decides to escape her life to watch other live their own! So she decides to become a nanny by chance. I guess if it actually had a few laughs this film might of been ok.

I think I actually only laughed once! If I told you where, then well! You would miss-out! That's if you are really going to watch this.

Hot Rod

Wow! For a movie I had no expectations from HOT ROD really made me laugh.. kind of a stupid laugh as most the jokes are lame re-hashed slap stick humor, but I haven't actually laughed much while watching a movie lately.

I remember the promo launch for this movie and I figured it was going to be another Saturday Night Live piece of crap.

Overall, you can watch this movie with out losing too many brain cells. It plays with random humor and satire fairly well.

Yes! It could of been much better of a movie, but with all the Hollywood flops! It wasn't that bad - in comparison.

Live Free or Die Hard

John McClane is up to his old antics, Live Free die Hard was actually a fun movie, fast, lots of action and explosions we have come to love from the Die Hard series.

Plot: John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically shutting down the United States

Deck The Halls

Very Cute, kinda stupid, tipical plot line, great family movie.

I'd have to say that my feelings after watching Deck The Halls couldn't be seen from outer space, ha ha! The plot of the movie is that Danny DeVito moves across the street from Matthew Broderick and after seeing a satelitte image of the neighborhood, realizes that his house can't be seen and goes on a quest to light it up.

Well it's kinda of the War of the "roses" meet the burbs.

It's still a fun movie that the whole family can enjoy because it basically doesn't break any PG-13 rules.

The Mist - Stephen King

Looks like we finally get to see the mist release in Theaters. Stephen King - The master of horror/thriller novels has a new twisted tale coming to theaters.

I've been a king fan most of my life. I have enjoyed many of his books and I hope this translates into a good movie.

Plot: A mysterious mist engulfs a town in Maine. A people start to get swallowed into it. The survivors turn to a the village grocery for safe haven.

Panic sets in, strange creatures appear and typical stephen king fun unfolds.

Hopefully we get our money worth.. I've got my fingers crossed.

Maybe one day the Gunslinger & The Dark Tower series will come to a movie adaptatiion. We can only wait and see.

Harry Potter - The Order of the Phoenix

Harry and the gang are back for the next installment of the Harry Potter franchise.


What a fantastic movie, I myself enjoyed this movie actually more than any of the others.

It's darker, the actors are now seasoned professionals and they pull off the angst and darkness this storyline holds.


If you're looking for a fantasy thrill ride, Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix will take you there and back again. This movie isn't geared towards the pre-teen market and is a lot more intense then the previous and wouldn't be suited for very young children.


Then again, kids these days expect this in the movies they watch and the games they play, so what do I know.

Buy or Rent rating: What for DVD release.

Captivity

Plot Line: Two people, a man and a woman wake to find themselves in captivity in a dark dank, and grimmly dim cellar. Their captor works extremely hard to drive them crazy.

I didn't expect anything from this movie or Elisha Cuthbert. I was just looking for my Horror Thriller fix on a boring tuesday night. "Garbage night"

After taking out the garbage I sat down, expecting a garage film, it didn't turn out to be the best movie ever but at least it didn't stink to high heavens.

I've always loved seeing females in movie or television kick ass, and this delivers a bit of that, which i'm missing since Alias went off the air.

I didn't hate it, It was somewhat likeable.. could be I watched this after "I know who killed me", but this was the highlite of a otherwise crappy night!
