Movie Review: Step Brothers

Rating: 5.0 out of 10

Review:
Stupid. That said, I didn’t mind it, and actually laughed out loud a few times. This will not win any awards in any category, but if you just want to laugh at some stupid Will Ferrell humor, this is a good one. It is not in the same class as Old School or Anchorman, but still had its funny/weird moments.

Movie Review: Black Snake Moan

Rating: 8.0 out of 10

Review:
Really good. I wasn't expecting to like it much, but it is a really good movie. great music, great acting, great plot, and nearly naked Christina Ricci. What more could you want?

Movie Review: Bridge to Terabithia

Rating: 4.0 out of 10

Review:
Kind of weak. Had a very "My Girl" feel. Unfortunately, I didn't like the direction the movie took near the end. I think the story could have been a bit better.

Movie Review: Gattaca

Rating: 7.0 out of 10

Review:
This was a pretty good futuristic sci-fi movie. The plot was quite good and provided a good thought-provoking story. What if everyone was genetically enhanced and the few normal people were treated like they were second-class citizens? Good story. Not a very action packed movie, but quite good.

Movie Review: Wanted

Review:
I was fairly disappointed. I thought this would be a cool assassin movie with lots of cool Matrix-style action. And it kind of was. Unfortunately, the plot was very weak and the movie was quite gory. The special effects are good and the unique method of altering the physics of the world was interesting. It just didn’t grab me and though it was just okay.
