Cirque Du Freak--Vampires Assistant

Fairly funny Vampire movie. John C Reily is the good Vampire battling the bad ones in order to save his newly blooded assistant vampire. 2 bananas

Saw VI

If you like, literally, lots of blood and guts mixed in a fairly entertaining plot see this. Senior manager in a health insurance company rejects the wrong person; manager finds himself with 90 minutes in make decisions that affect the lives of people associated with him. Not for the squeamish of heart. Helps to have seen previous Saws as there is a lot of looking back, but not absolutely necesary. I liked it. Not going to win an Emmy but for It's creativity- 3 bananas

Amelia

Soapy some what boring depiction of later years in Earharts life ending with her disappearance over Howell Island. Swank is a drop dead ringer for the famous woman flyer; and Richard Gere portrays her husband who owned Putnam publishing and was her marketing manager. Turns out Amelia wasn't as pure as people thought. 2 bananas

Where the Wild Things Are

Is the story of a boy who feels repressed by his family so he escapes to a fairy tale land inhabited by giant weird looking animals where he is appointed King only to find that the same kind of problems exist there . Movie is adapted and directed by Spike Jonze from supposedly very famous childrens book. I could not get into the movie, maybe it is just for kids. 2 bananas

The Stepfather

Pyschotic(?) Dad just can't seem to keep the family together. Guy prys on young divorced mothers with multiple kids, he loves them, kills them and moves on. Fairly suspenseful but seems like it will never end. Remake of an earlier movie. Worth seeing if only to see the great looking chick in the bikini. 11/2 bananas

Julie and Julia

Cute, smart comedy with Meryl Streep as Julia Childs who publishes her cook book but not without years of turmoil and rejection. Years later Amy Adams decides to cook each of the receipts in the Childs cookbook in 365 days. Both plots weave back and forth between each other. Well done! 31/2 bananas

Couples Retreat

Just another dumb Vince Vaughn comedy!! 4 couples go to a fantasy island to find themselves. They should have stayed home! Hard to laugh with; easy to laugh at. 1/2 banana

Julie & Julia

Cute, fun and more or less true movie of Julia Child's(Meryl Streep)

Law Abiding citizen

If you want action from start to finish, this is your kind of movie. Jamie Foxx stars as a District Attorney who is more obsessed with keeping a near perfect conviction record than pursuing justice. Gerrard Butler sees his family killed and feels the system failed him, thus takes matters into his own hands with spectacular results. A disappointing ending but still kept me guessing. 3 bananas

Paranormal Activity

Fairly interesting movie shot through one of the featured actors own camera. Strange goings on are recorded nightly as apparently someone is being haunted/hunted. 2 bananas

A Serious Man

The Coen brothers at it again. Very dark comedy takes place in the 60's. Professor in a Jewish high school can't catch a break at home or while teaching. His family continually dumps him while at school he is being harrased not only by the faculty but by the Columbia Record Club. Well worth viewing, some very funny scenes. 3 bananas

Zombieland

Apparently the world has been taken over by Zombies looking for the last tasty morsels who haven't as yet been infected. Woody Harrelson stars as one of few left. He with the help of a few sidekicks proceed to kill, kill, kill! Stupid movie with plenty of blood and gore! 1 banana

Pandorum

If you like SiFi mixed with horror this lost in space movie is for you. The crew of a space ship wakes after many years to find most of the ship either gone or transformed into weird looking creatures; The crew also can't remember who they are or what their mission is. The ending is the best part, fooled me! 11/2 bananas

Capitalism

Another Michael Moore movie, this time taking it to the Fiancial community big boys. Some very funny situations. See it for laughs, though he does hit on some very good issuses. 21/2 bananas
