30 Minutes or less

Title reflects pizza parlor motto if it can't delivered within 30 minutes pizza is free. Pizza delivery guy is kidnapped and strapped into a bomb vest by two wackos who want him to rob a bank in order to pay a hit man to kill one of the wackos father. Suppose to be a comedy but it stinks. Terrible acting makes for a STUPID movie. 1/2 banana

Final Destination 5

Same ole same ole. If you liked 1-4 you'll love #5. Same plot, group of people avoid sudden death from a crumbling bridge only to be systematically killed in gruesome ways. Great special affects and 3-D make this a true gore fest. See it for the creative way people are killed but not for the acting. 2 1/2 bananas

Rise of the Apes

Very well done prequel, prequel to the original Planet of the Apes. Great special affects and a good plot add for enjoyable and lively entertainment. Story centers around how a vaccine being developed for humans by testing on apes increases intelligence in apes and how they evolve into being able to reason and talk. There is at least one more Ape movie as this movie doesn't come close to where the first one begins; and I look forward to seeing it. If you liked the first of the Ape movie with Charlsten Heston, you'll love this one! 3 1/2 bananas
