Hitman (2007)

Mix movie based on video game with completely formulaic film about trained killer from secret agency who then turns on him and you have Hitman. Completely forgettable. Ripped off so many other flicks: MI2, Matrix, etc. Has there ever been a god video game based flick....

The Ruins (2008)

Once again the book was infinitely better. The Ruins (the book) and I Am Legend (the book) are easily my favorite horror novels. Don't get me wrong, the adaptation wasn't near the screw-up I Am Legend was... This was a good film with lots of squirm in your seat moments. Acting was well done.Dumbed down though and they removed a lot of the psychological elements. Read the book first...

Giù la Testa (1972)

Great western from Sergio Leone. Starred James Coburn as an Irish Revolutionary and Rod Steiger as a Mexican bandit. Neither of their accents were the best and at times Coburn just dropped his altogether. Good flick though. Coburn was awesome to watch in this.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

Loved the first movie. The second one was a mess and the third.... 2 hours and 50 minutes??!?!? Could have trimmed an hour off this easily. And Wil's character turned into Jack Sparrow... actually everyone kinda did. Disappointing flick, and I hear there are thinking about a few more sequels.

Becoming Jane (2007)

Formulaic period piece movie. The dancing scene that is accompanied by a verbal tete a tete is a little played out now... Poor girl, should she marry for love or money. Blah, blah, blah.

Across the Universe (2007)

Julie Taymor's movie musical incorporating the Beatles' music. Loved the interpretations and her visual style is always amazing (Watch Titus!!! AMAZING FILM!!!). The movie was highly entertaining but I wasn't blown away by it... musicals just tend to work better on stage for me.
