Date Night

Good cast, Steve Carrell and Tina Fey can't save this comedy of a couple who are mistaken for another couple after they steal their dinner reservations and are consequently hunted by the mob and the police for information they supposedly have. A couple of laughs but that's it. 1 1/2 bananas

The Losers

Action movie adopted from a comic book. Team of CIA agents are set up to be killed but the plan fails thus turning the agents into hunters for the mastermind of the plot. Somewhat interesting to begin with turns into just another bad movie. 1 banana

The Secret in Their Eyes.

Choosen Best Foreign Film in 2009 by the Oscars for good reason. Well done adult thriller/mystery centers around a 25 year murder in Argentina. Many subplots and twists in this smartly acted romantic/crime drama. Sub titles take a bit getting used to, but well worth the effort. Probably only being shown at your local artsy cinema. 3 1/2 bananas

Death at a Funeral

An all star cast of comedians are sometimes very funny and at least once so gross you can't help but laugh in this comedy set around a families fathers death and his viewing in their home. The "F" bomb is used quit often as well as many other swear words. Probably should rent the DVD but worth seeing only because of some of the crazy stuff that goes on. 2 1/2 bananas

Alice in Wonderland

Beautifully filmed with great special affects. Johnny Depp gives his usual interesting performance as do the two Queens who I have no Idea who they are. Definitely not for the youngsters, as violence rules in this fairy tale. Either I missed this as a kid or much liberty has been taken in this revised edition. Worth seeing but I was bored with it half way through, Barbara loved it--that's it for us as a viewing couple. 2 bananas

Repo Man

Jude Law is not reposssessing cars but he is taking back body parts from people who can't meet their 'loans' on their new parts. However, Law finds himself on the other side and on the run from his repo company. What starts out as a somewhat interesting idea turns into a blood bath. 1 1/2 bananas

Bounty Hunter

Gerrard Butler and Jennifer Anniston add some very funny moments in this comedy of a bounty hunter who is tasked with arresting his ex only to find himself and his ex being tracked down by two separate sinister forces. Movie starts out great, unfortunately loses its mojo. 2 bananas.

Brooklyn's Finest

All Star cast in this pretty darn good cop drama. 3 cops from the NYPD work through personal and job issuses as they pile up bodies, track down drug dealers and wrestle with their short comings. See it. 3 bananas

Green Zone

George W Bushie will not like Matt Damon in his role of trying to find WMD in Iraq. What Damon does find is a mass conspiracy to draw the US into the war. Well done war movie that moves fast and probably paints a fairly accurate picture as to how the NeoCons conned us into going to war. Definitely worth seeing. 3 bananas

Cop Out

Typical Bruce Willis cop movie. So stupid it's funny at times. Bruce's treasured baseball card(which he was planning on using to pay for his daughter's wedding) is stolen by the Mexican mob, setting Bruce and his partner on mission to recover the card. If you've got nothing better to do this will kill a couple of hours. 1 banana
