- Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull 2 stars. Campy, more like Temple of Doom than Raiders or Last Crusade. Nonetheless, it's worth going to see it at the theater just to keep the ticket stub. Indie's a historical icon, you know? Like the new Star Wars trilogy: Stench. But I'm proud to have all the ticket stubs!
- The Other Boleyn Girl 4 stars. Vibrant cinematography that will mesmerize you long after you've forgotten the plot's details. Not to say the plot isn't captivating. If you haven't seen it and don't know what it's about, it's even better!
- Iron Man 4 stars By far, not the best comic book plot. But Robert Downey, Jr. portrays the character better than any actor who portrayed Batman, Spiderman, or Wolverine.
- Jumper 2 stars It's campy and lowbrow but interesting enough. The kind of movie that you could imagine you could tweak into a masterpiece or franchise.
- Cloverfield 1 star Unfortunately, this is rumored to be an upcoming franchise. The bouncing camera isn't what makes you feel ill. It's that the opening party scene is more intriguing than the monster invasion that's introduced to "drive" the plot.
- 10,000 B.C. 2 stars If you see this movie WITHOUT the kiddies in tow, you'll regret it. It's basically a "live-action" Ice Age, only without heart or lovable characters.
- Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian 5 stars Seriously. I was awed. The characters were developed, they had familiarity, chemistry, depth, growth. They drew you in. Most of the battles were riveting and a few scenes were positively INTENSE. My only complaint: how the crap is that movie only PG?
