The Astronaut Farmer



RENT

I saw this in Midwest Airlines on a portable DVD player. There wasn't much choices, so I chose this movie. It was okay and there were so great scenes. Billy Bob Thornton shows that it is always important to keep the dream alive.

Spiderman 3



BUY

I also saw this on the smalll screen but wouldn't ming watching this on a larger screen again. Spiderman is an average superhero with flaws and people can relate to him. You can understand how nerve wracking proposals can be. You can understand how you can be corrupted to the dark side. You can understand how revenge is a strong desire. This is what makes the Spiderman series a must buy.

Fracture



RENT

I watched this on the plane and it was on a small screen but Anthony Hopkins was very captivating and kept me in suspense. It was a nice thriller and I was wondering what will happen next. This would be a BUY if the movie wasn't so dark and there was a better ending. A great film like this deserves a nice solid ending. Don't just give it an ending to end it.

Smokin Aces



DUMP
This movie was so great that I forgot to review it. I totally forgot that I watched it. There's a mix of assassins out to kill one man. It's not anything great to watch. A disappointment because there was Ben Affleck and Alicia Keys. It's has the style of a English made film. I had a feeling it would be a bad film. I should have listened.

Shooter



BUY

Unexpectedly, this was a good film. It was a great story of a sniper and how he fought for his country and how the country can screw you. There are lots of explosions and if you like the concept of sniping, you will see some very realistic setups. It's a conspiracy plot and it's an interesting one that will keep you watching. I'm not a fan of Mark Walhberg, but he does well in this one.

Black Snake Moan



DUMP

This is a story about a black man who locks up a white woman in his house because he feels that she is corrupted by the devil. Corrupted being that she sleeps with all the men in the town. Locking up a woman in a chain is a strong statement, but the film is dull and uninteresting. There is some great acting by Samual Jackson and Christina Ricci, but it doesn't save the movie. There's also Justin Timberlake... nevermind.
