Johathan Hex

Good shooten-up Western taken from the comic books. Hex is branded, on the face, and left for dead soon after the civil war. He survives and is recruited by the government to stop a terror plot on the capital being plotted by the man who branded him. See it for a change of pace. 3 bananas

Knight and Day

Tom Cruise and Camerron Diaz are terrific in this comedy action flick centering around forces in the FBI chasing Cruise and Diaz around the world in search of a new power source in batteries. Some unbelieveable action scenes steal the show. Much fun if you aren't counting the bodies. 3 bananas

The A-Team

Funny but stupid recreation of the television show. Great scenes but most are so far over the edge it's hard to get into this non-stop action movie of 4 decorated soliders who are set up by the CIA, jailed, escape and create havoc for the CIA. 2 bananas

Just Wright

As much as I love Queen Latifa this isn't one of her better movies. Queeny is a physical therapist who rehabilitates the star of the New Jersey Nets basketball team. Love is not far behind as is Queen's dim witted friend who also falls for the same BB player. Forget it. 1 banana

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
