Sorry for being so absent lately. I’m backed up on writing reviews… life’s been nuts. I figured I’d start with the one we saw this weekend – Terminator Salvation…
Terminator Salvation is the story of a group of resistance fighters, led by John Connor [Bale] after Judgement Day – the day the machines nuked the planet in their quest to annihilate the human race, their struggles to stay alive and to foil a diabolical plot to create a new and improved Terminator prototype…
To say I was looking forward to this one would be an understatement. Christian Bale and killer robots together = happy me. I’m a fan of the franchise [though T3 wasn't that great, but was still fun as a fan with all the winks and campy nods to the first two movies], and I LOVE the show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which has supposedly just been cancelled [but I can't give up hope!]… don’t get me started on that…
The Good: The visual effects and action sequences were amazing. It was great fun seeing the original Terminator ‘endo-skeleton’ robots in all their menacing, deadly glory looking as life-like as you can get. A far cry from the original stop-motion of the original. There were some really suspenseful sequences that did have me on the edge of my seat. And great performances by Christian Bale as John Connor, Sam Worthington as Markus Wright and Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese. And a cameo appearance by an old favorite was fun, too.
The Bad: The story was mediocre and convoluted, the editing was choppy… it felt like something was missing. We found out after that they cut 40 minutes out, so maybe the ‘director’s cut’ will be better. There were some characters in the story that were unnecessary and actually brought down the quality of the whole film. There were subplots that weren’t explored enough to matter, so in the end they were a waste of screen time. The PG rating took away from it to in that it could have been a lot more dark and scary than it turned out to be.
The Ugly: There were no big twists. They gave almost everything away in the previews. And the ending was over done – they ended up wasting another opportunity for a sequel [if they even make enough money on it to justify another one...]. And – this is something I almost never talk about – but the music didn’t match the movie. Danny Elfman, who is known for composing the soundtracks for Tim Burton and various animated shows and features just wasn’t the right choice to do this score. Rather than keeping it minimal, industrial and creepy, it was big orchestra, distracting and just didn’t jive. The characters while in their separate storylines should have been given their own themes to at least try to pull the movie more together. They could have just taken any instrumental Nine Inch Nails songs and sprinkled them throughout the movie and it would have turned out way better…
So.. for the robots and effects, Christian Bale and Sam Worthington I give Terminator Salvation…
3 out of 5

“A Hero Is Unleased.”
Due to a massive cold, the holidays and vacation I’ve fallen behind with reviews. Luckily today is a slow work day so I can finally catch up!
We went to see Bolt when we got to the theater too late to see The Spirit originally… but I’m happy. Bolt in 3D was a lot of fun! It had been in the theaters for a while at that point and there were other kiddie movies out so it was relatively quiet, which was nice.
Bolt [voiced by John Travolta] is the story of a pooch that thinks he’s a super hero because he has no idea that all his “powers” are carefully orchestrated special effects for a hit TV show, of which he is the star. Ratings start to slide because the audience knows the Bolt formula of him always saving his ‘person,’ Penny [voiced by Miley Cyrus] at the end of every episode, so the studio demands they change things up. The Director doesn’t like it ubt complies [voiced by James Lipton] and give the audience a cliffhanger ending for the season finale by having Penny be captured by the ‘evil Dr. Calico’… [voiced in classic villain style by Malcolm McDowell].
Being that Bolt lives in a Truman Show type world, he has no idea that Penny is safe and sound at home with her Mom, and escapes from his trailer to save her in what ends up being a crazy, cross-country adventure full of danger and furry sidekicks… including an ‘evil’ cat named ‘Mittens’ [voiced by Susie Essman] and a fiesty little hamster/superfan named ‘Rhino.’
The best part of this movie for me was Rhino the hamster [voiced by Mark Walton]. He was hilarious! Some of the lines had me in stitches. In classic Disney style, there were the sad moments and the lessons to be learned, but they weren’t dragged out too long…
As for the animation and the 3D effects, they were top-notch. I actually didn’t know it was 3D until the ticket girl handed us the glasses. Then I got annoyed because the thought of wearing those heavy, cheap glasses for 103 minutes wasn’t appealing, but they were surprisingly comfortable [not like the old IMAX 3d glasses] and once I got used to the whole 3D thing, I LOVED it. I’m actually looking forward to seeing live-action movies in 3D to see how they do with that.
For the fun, humor, effects and overall experience, Bolt is a solid…
3 1/2 out of 5
[as an adult... I'm sure it's even higher for kids!]

Update: We went to see this again yesterday [yes, it's that good...] and I realized I failed to mention that Quantum of Solace is literally a continuation of Casino Royale. It picks up right where Casino left off… So, it’s worth watching it again before seeing Quantum if you can… Quantum refers to a lot of details from Casino that I was fuzzy on the first time around. FYI. =)
The worst part of this movie is the theme song [Another Way To Die, by Jack White and Alicia Keys]. It’s literally the worst Bond song ever – worse than Cheryl Crow’s Tomorrow Never Dies. And that’s saying something because I hate that song… her voice was too thin and whiny to carry that tune in true Bond fashion… [although I didn't hate it as much the second time...] but I digress… Once we were past the opening credits, the graphics of which were very Apple/iPod-esque, but cool [with some ladies added back in...], we were off to the races…
Quantum of Solace follows the same darker, grittier edge that Casino Royale did, so it’s safe to say if you LOVED the new direction Casino Royale took the franchise, you won’t be disappointed with Quantum. The story continues pretty much where Casino left off. Bond is still on the trail of Le Chiffre and his operation as they try to figure out where the moles are in MI:6. In the process, Bond realizes he can have his revenge for Vesper, while continuing to follow a string of leads that point to a shady ‘environmentalist’, who’s name, ironically is ‘Greene.’ Closer scrutiny is put on M and her operation, so when Bond appears to go rogue, she’s told to shut him down and take him in. Is Bond really looking for revenge, or is he onto something a lot bigger?
The goofy innuendo is still present, but much more subtle. The name of one of the Bond girls isn’t really advertised within the movie, but when you look her up it’s there, and it’s pretty funny. When you’ve seen it, look up red-headed British Agent assigned to get Bond back on a plane to England. It’s pretty funny…
The acting was great. The new bad guy, Mr. Greene [Mathieu Amalric] was the perfect weasel without overdoing it. A few key players are back: Judi Dench as M, Giancarlo Gianinni as Mathis, Jeffrey Wright as Felix and Jesper Christensen as Mr. White. Olga Kurylenko did a great job as the mysterious girl Bond eventually teams up with. The one character that was a little over-the-top was Felix’s partner, Greg Beamm [played by David Harbour]. Gotta love the ’stache’…
The action in the flick is almost non-stop. If I didn’t love it so much I would say it’s too much because the wear and tear on Bond as a human, were he to do this stuff in real life would be impossible. But it’s Bond – and it’s no more unrealistic than watching a season of 24 so I let it go… lol… The movie starts out with a great car chase involving Bond in his Aston Martin DBS and the bad guys in gorgeous Alfa Romeo Brera S’s. The chase looked pretty dangerous… and for good reason. The last day of shooting, one of the stuntmen driving an Alfa suffered severe injuries when his car collided on the windy, gravel roads of Limone sul Garda, Italy. Another guy was hurt delivering a DBS to the set when he lost control of the car and drove into the lake. Apparently he was an Aston Martin employee… [whoops... hopefully he'll recover well...]. Other accidents and injuries had people wondering if Quantum was ‘cursed.’ I don’t think so. When you have that much action, that many stunts, things can’t possible go perfectly every single time. It’s the law of averages… unless the curse is HUGE box office. Then yeah, they’re curse. ;)
For the thrill ride, action, plenty of eye candy [although it could have used a little more sexy times...wink wink] and for the love of Bond, Quantum of Solace is a solid…
4 out of 5.
Here is a pic that hurts me to look at – this is the DBS they pulled out of the lake:
And here is the gorgeous Alpha Romeo Brera S that got me more excited than the DBS [who knew it was even possible!]:

“This time they’re running from the joint.”
In this next installment of the adventures of Harold & Kumar, the boys are on their way to Amsterdam so Harold [Jon Cho] can find the love of his life [and neighbor], Maria. But on the plane, Kumar [Kal Penn] can’t wait until they land in the ‘weed capital of the world’ to smoke, so he brings his invention, the ’smokeless bong’ into the lav, and is spotted by a very suspicious old lady who’s had her eye on him the whole ride. When she sees him through the half open door, she screams “TERRORIST!!!!!” and within seconds, 3 US Marshals have Kumar and Harold on the floor at gunpoint, and they turn the plane around.
As the title suggests, they end up locked up at Guantanamo Bay, thanks to the idiot Deputy in charge while his boss is on vacation [played by Rob Corddry, from The Daily Show] but manage to escape and end up on the run, with one crazy adventure after another across the country as they try to get to Harold’s friend, Colton [the jerk who just happens to be marrying Kumar's ex-girlfriend], whom they think can help clear their names using his connections. ‘NPH’ is back, playing himself and getting the guys into a lot more trouble than they could have possibly gotten into on their own, this time with the help of some ‘magic mushrooms.’
My husband saw this one in the theater with a friend, so I only just saw it this week, ala netflix. Now, I really enjoyed the first one, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. I enjoy toilet humor now and then and the first one had me in stitches. I have to say, the second one was fun, but not as funny as the first. We watched the unrated version and aside from some ‘bottomless’ ladies, I’m not really sure why it was unrated. I didn’t find it any more filthy than the first one. If you loved the original, this is definitely worth checking out. There’s a lot of the same stuff, but they mix it up enough that it doesn’t feel overtly formulaic.
3 1/2 out of 5.

The Brothers Bloom are two con men [played by Adrian Brody and Mark Ruffalo], and they’re after one last, BIG mark – an eccentric heiress [Rachel Weisz] and her millions – by showing her the time of her life, taking them all over the world on romantic adventures.
Rachel Weisz’ character looks pretty funny, and I’m a big fan of hers. She does a great job of choosing roles, so I trust her judgement. We first see her crashing a Lamborghini into the huge fountain in her driveway [which is AWESOME only because my husband always jokes that if he ever won the lottery, his only goal would be to crash a different Lamborghini every day of the week!... kidding, of course...], and then cut to one of the Bloom brothers asking her what she does for a living. Her response is “I collect hobbies.”
This one looks worth seeing. Written and directed by relative newcomer, Rian Johnson, who won many awards for writing and directing the movie Brick in 2005 [I'll have to check it out...]. If The Brothers Bloom is as good as the trailer makes it out to be, this flick could launch his career to the next level.
Check out the trailer HERE

We just got back from seeing this one. I have two words: SAVE YOURSELF. Don’t see this movie – unless you’re prepared. Which is what I’m going to help you with here…
Babylon A.D. is about a mercenary named Toorop [Vin Diesel] who takes a job to deliver a package from Russia to New York City. The package turns out to be a girl [Mélanie Thierry], and nobody is sure what it is about her, but she’s different… She knows things people who’ve grown up in a convent in Mongolia shouldn’t know. She was raised by one of the sisters [Michelle Yeoh], who is also along for the ride, making sure she gets to where she’s going in one piece. Along the way they have many obstacles, and the journey is long enough that the three characters get to know and trust each other.
The journey itself is great. Lots going on, lots of action… Vin Diesel slides effortlessly back into the role he’s meant to play [in my opinion] – the anti-hero. But the ‘why’ behind the story itself is sketchy at best. This movie goes from an interesting vision of the future wrapped around the characters and their plight to true sci-fi – and for my tastes, not it a good way. I would have liked to have known what year it was, too. They make a reference to ‘back in 2017′, but it was never clear how far in the future this was supposedly taking place. I’m sure they were following the book, but if it were up to me, I’d have simplified some of it and gotten rid of some of the fluff at the end to give this movie a more tight resolution.
I walked out thinking this felt like Children of Men meets Minority report. It had the look and feel of Children of men – a bleak, ugly future where it’s everyone for themselves in Russia and Eastern Europe, where the movie opens, but then there is some really great tech stuff ala Minority Report, that the bad guys had the money to possess, and is just everywhere in North America. You can bet Motorola paid top dollar for placement in this flick – the idea of advertising being everything seems pretty realistic. For that, I did enjoy most of this movie.
For the rest, the acting was really good, the story for the most part was intriguing and there were some really great stunts and plenty of explosions, if you dig that stuff. It did feel slow in parts and convoluted in others. If the ending were better it would have been a 3 1/2 or a 4, but because the ending made us angry… I’d say it’s more a 3 out of 5. If you expect the ending to disappoint, the rest of it is pretty cool and worth seeing – on DVD. If you’re a Vin Diesel fan, or just love explosions, it’s still worth seeing on the big screen.

“Get Ready For A Killer Ride.”
We decided to see a matinée for this one in case it wasn’t so great – it could have gone either way for us after seeing the trailer a few times. Despite projector issues [2/3 of the screen went black... then they had to shut it down for 10 minutes to figure out what was wrong with it] and eye-strain inducing flickering after they ‘fixed’ the problem, we both really enjoyed this movie more than we expected. I was afraid that the trailer might have given the entire plot and all the best scenes away, but it didn’t.
Death Race is a remake of the 1975 version, Death Race 2000. This time, the race happens at ‘Termination Island’, a maximum security prison a mile off the coast, Alcatraz-style in the not-too-distant future of 2012, when TV goes to live stream craziness for huge money. Jason Statham plays ex-con ‘Jensen Ames’, a former NASCAR champion driver who did some time in prison when life hit bottom. After he got out, he got a fresh start when he met the woman of his dreams, and now they have a baby daughter. Even though he was just laid off from his job, they know they’ll make due… life is good. Until his wife is brutally murdered and he’s framed for it…
6 months later he ends up at Termination Island and is asked to drive in a Mad-Max style race for a reality show that ‘Hennessey’, the warden [Joan Allen, who does a great job playing a character that is super-cold and ruthless] created – aptly named ‘Death Race’ – as the winner is basically the last man alive. The race takes place over 3 days with many twists and turns, rules and weapons, so it’s no surprise the ’show’ gets huge ratings. The drivers are like the gladiators of their time and the world tunes in, thanks in part to it’s star driver named ‘Frankenstein’ – a name given to him after being mutilated after crashing in one of the races when most of his face sustained burns bad enough to have him wear a very creepy mask. He also never talked to anyone, adding to his mystique. Without Frankenstein, the warden’s ratings are in danger of going down – and that’s where Jensen comes in. The question isn’t ‘was he framed for killing his wife?‘, it’s ‘what’s he going to do about it?‘
Death Race had a little more plot depth than I was expecting, which was cool – I don’t require it really for pure action movies… The action was almost non-stop once things were set up, the stunts were great [some were pretty gorey, which made me laugh, I loved it...] as were the fight scenes. This movie is mostly testosterone-driven [excuse the pun...], but I don’t have a problem with that if I know what I’m getting myself into. Seeing Jason Statham beat people up and doing pullups while topless didn’t hurt, either. Don’t worry guys – you get some great eye candy with Jensen’s navigator, Case [played by Natalie Martinez]. Ian McShane, Tyrese and the rest of the supporting cast also did a great job.
The only thing I they could have done better was the final scene – I found it a little unbelievable [not that the rest wasn't, but in terms of the characters], but it wasn’t bad. For the action and fun I give this Mad Max meets Fast and the Furious flick a 3 1/2 out of 5.

“Prepare to see Star Wars like you’ve never seen it before”
My husband, Russ, saw this one on Friday while I was at a bookclub meeting, so he’s written this review for me… hence the different format and writing style. Thanks Honey!
Plot summary:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes place between the two most recent Star Wars films (Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith). With the war raging between Count Dooku and his Separatist droid army and the Clone army of the Galactic Republic, Anakin Skywalker has been dispatched by the Jedi Council to locate and rescue Jabba the Hut’s son who has been kidnapped by renegades. Since the Hutt’s control a prime area of space trade routes, whoever has Jabba’s favor will have use of these routes and thus gain a significant advantage over their opponent. However, the plot thickens as we learn there are more sinister forces are at work.
Review:
This film has some of the best animation I have seen. If you liked the Clone/Droid battle sequences from the last three films, this movie will not disappoint.
While the film is definitely geared toward a younger audience, this isn’t “A Land Before Time” or “A Bug’s Life”. The Clone Wars introduces the audience to Ahsoko Tano who is Anakin’s new Padawan learner (basically, an apprentice). She is somewhat of know-it-all teenager, thus the connection to the younger audience. – There is also some well placed humor in this movie.
Another reason to see this film is that Anakin Skywalker is not portrayed as the excessively whiny and angry Jedi he was in the last three films, but rather a more focused and masculine character. There is also a new villain as well, Asajj Ventress who is like Darth Maul’s sister from “Episode I” but actually talks.
Also, if you’re like me, when you see an animated film you’re always wondering whose voice it is you’re hearing. While Christopher Lee (Count Dooku), Anthony Daniels (C3PO), and Sam Jackson (Mace Windu) all reprise their roles, most of the voices you’ll hear are not the actors/actresses from the last three films. However you probably won’t notice since they come from people that do the voiceovers from the Star Wars video games.
Be wary of Star Wars “purists” that will not be satisfied with anything until George Lucas brings back the original crew of Han, Luke, Leia, and Chewy. This movie is an enjoyable action packed adventure for small and big kids alike.
This is the first animated feature film from Lucasfilm animation.
Add’l Info: Release Date: Aug 15, 2008 • Runtime: 98 minutes • Rated PG for sci-fi action violence throughout, brief language and momentary smoking • Photo credit: Copyright © Warner Bros. Pictures via allmoviephoto.com

Brendan Fraser & Jet Li in “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”
In The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, we come to find Rick and Evie retired in 1946, just after WWII, trying to fill their time outside of their huge English estate. Evie writes about their adventures using a pen name and does talks and readings, reliving the past, while Rick tries to find a hobby, both denying how much they miss the action. Alex O’Connell [Luke Ford] is all grown up and is working on a dig in China with one of his professors, even though he’d been kicked out of University several times [he is, after all, his father's son...]. He uncovers the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor [Jet Li] and brings the sarcophagus to Shanghai, where his mother [Bello] and father [Fraser] happen to fly in on a quick favour for the British government [agreed to out of desperation for some action], and his Uncle Jonathan [John Hannah] happens to own a nightclub – Egyptian-themed, of course…
They all get tangled up with bad guys, led by General Yang [Anthony Wong Chau-Sang, who did a great job with the character] and his army, who were behind the financing of the dig, with the goal of raising the Emperor and his army to restore order and greatness to their beloved China. They also encounter the guardians of the tomb, a young ninja-like warrior [Isabella Leong], as well as an ancient sorcerer [Michelle Yeoh], both of whom have sworn to never let the Emperor be brought back to life, much like the Magi of the first two movies…
