In the last week I've seen a few movies at the local cineplex. Here are my ratings of the one's I have seen:

Scary Movie 2: I saw the first Scary Movie and thought it was alright. So going into this one I thought I'd at least be entertained, but I wasn't. This is a god-awful movie. I almost walked out, but had to see if it was going to get any better. There are a few shimmering moments of laughter, but mostly just jokes that didn't quite hit the mark. Don't go see it. Wait for it to come to cable so you can get up and turn off the set midway.

Tomb Raider: I wasn't expecting much going into this one, but I was pleasantly suprised going out. The story was better than expected, effects were good and the action was intense. I'd compare this movie with The X-Men. I f you have the time, check it out while it's at the theater.

A.I.: I expected a much better movie from Steven Spielberg. Don't get me wrong, the story is alright, the acting and directing is great, but I just wasn't thrilled with the movie. I've heard the reviewers saying the movie is a "futuristic Pinochio", which is valid. I'd compare this movie with Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams, Bicentennial Man being the better of the two. If you really want to see, check it out, but I'd recommend to see it on video/DVD.

Swordfish: To end this blog post on a good note, this movie is awesome! It has action, mystery and technology. I'm not sure why this movie isn't still number one. It has a sort of Usual Suspects ending which I love. Go see this movie.

Well, that's it for my musings on the last few movies I've seen.

Big Brother 2 is on right now and I didn't even know it was starting tonight!

Within the month, when they release shipping dates for Star Wars Episode I, The Godfather Collection and Citizen Kane you know that DVD has finally become an industry standard for watching movies at home. BRAVO!!!
