MacGruber

BAD movie, BAD acting and plenty of BAD references to "dicks". Poorly done spoof of the tv series McGiver. Not worth my time reviewing. Don't se it! 0 bananas

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Terrific Swedish murder mystery that starts with a journalist, just convicted of libel, recruited by a powerful family to look into the death/disappearance of one its members many years ago. Many twists and turns as the journalist teams up with 24 year old super smart computer hacker who has her own set of problems. See it. Sub titles. Probably only in artsy cinemas. 3 1/2 bananas

Robin Hood

Pretty good prequel to what we've known as the original Robin Hood movie. Starring Russell Crowe as Robin Longstreet we see what Robin was up to before he and his merry band of thieves started living in the woods, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Some great battle scenes as Robin defends the Crown but also gets a bit long in parts. See it to find out how Robin becomes Robin Hood. 2 1/2 bananas

Backup Plan

Romantic comedy--light on romance and light on comedy. Jennifer Lopez is a single girl who can't make a lasting committment thus decides to inseminate herself to have a baby. Well guess what, she finds the man of her dreams and he has to decide whether being a dad is what he wants. Best part of the movie are the outtakes at the end. Boring! 1 1/2 bananas

A Nightmare on Elm

Pretty decent prequel explaining how Freddy Kruger got his bad looks. Freddy brings his sharpened fingers to do grisley deeds upon the children of the parents who did him wrong. If you are not into the Elm St adventures, skip this, but if Freddy turns you on, this is an alright blood fest. 2 1/2 bananas

Iron Man 2

Not as good as the first but still wildly entertaining. O'Rouke is the perfect villian and Scarlett Johanson and Gywnneth Paltow help beautify this fun action movie starring Robert Downey Jr. Once again at the center of the movie is the action suit that Downey has perfected and everyone, including our government wants to take from Downey. Some great special effects. 2 1/2 bananas

Oceans

Beautifully filmed but not quit as good as the first film made for Earth Day. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan. Does not spend much time on THE Oceans, more on what lives in them. Most everything has already been viewed on the Discovery channel. 2 1/2 bananas

The Square

Pretty darn good Aussie film of two unfaithful marrieds who devise a plan to steal money from one of their spouses, set the house on fire to cover the missing money and runaway with each other. Everything goes downhill from this point and bodies start piling up. Good plot keeps this movie moving, see it! 3 bananas

Harry Brown

Dark intense drama starring Michael Caine who is a retired middle class guy who loses his best friend and wife to the thugs that hang out around his housing developement. When nothing is being done by the police to clean up crime, Caine takes matters into his own hands. Somewhat hard to hear at times but a good movie worth seeing. 3 bananas
