Robots



RENT
An animated film with very lifelike robots. Each robot has its own personality and the voices were very well done. They almost seem human.

However, I don't understand all the hype behind this movie. Everyone was waiting for its release. It was just OK.

Racing Stripes



RENT
For a movie that tries to be like SeaBiscuit, it is entertaining to watch. Some personalities such as the seagull create some great laughs.

Without the great voices behind the animals, this is just another dumb animal movie.

Walk on the Moon



RENT
This film has a new twist. In most movies men cheat and cause havoc, but a woman cheats in this one. Diane Lane is the culprit who goes out and have fun with the blouse man. Even though the man is one of the stars in Lord of the Rings, it is no excuse for Diane to cheat.

There is a double standard here because men are flamed for cheating but Diane's cheating is almost displayed as forgiveable. That is unacceptable.

What kind of BS is that? Just execute her at the gullotine!

White Chicks



RENT
After watching the Wayan brothers in "white chick" costumes for the second time, the movie had some funny moments. I complained the first time, but I did noticed some humor on my second watch. The rich black man was so funny.

However, I still can't believe that no one recognize the Wayan Brothers in their disguises. Who are they kidding?

Look at the picture. Do the girls resemble black men?

Ransom



BUY
Mel did it again.

His films are never a disappointment. Everytime he raised the stakes in the Ransom, you gasped. What courage! His ability to take risk catch you by surprise.

How many people in times of despair has that ability? Because if you push too much, it could be over.

Hero



BUY
It's great that Quentin Tarentino brought this film to America. Even though the film was released a few years back in Asia, it is a good film.

For many people, it is difficult to understand the plot of the killers but if you watch it a few times, it will become very clear. You will also learn more of Chinese history and see how the Chinese lived in the Age of Kings.

Judge Dredd



DUMP
You have to see it to believe it. Sylvester Stallone is horrible in this movie.

He should have stay in costume for the duration of the film. At least then, we won't know who is the terrible actor behind the mask.

Diane Lane is great as usual and she should have chose the robot as her costar. You have been judged, Sly.
