In this era of rehashing old movies and TV shows with mixed success, this is a gem. Based on a late eighties TV premise, a "retired" spy who wants to live a quiet life gets involved with the Russian mob saving a young hooker. This is vintage Denzel Washington as a defender of the little guy and worth the seeing just for his performance. It doesn't get any better than this in action movie land.

This is not a science fiction movie. It is a love story with sci-fi aspects. It is not your typical guy meets girl either. When faced with an ethical dilemma about being alone for the rest of his life after waking early from hyper-sleep or waking someone else, what does he do? Watch and find out along with seeing some pretty decent fx.

This is no award winner but, it's just wierd enough to be fun. The acting is good enough to make it fun to watch and no one does over the top bad guys like Samuel L. Jackson

This film is completely enchanting and gives us an early sign of Jennifer Connelly's talent. David Bowie is definitely at his best, both as a singer and as an actor. Combined with Jim Henson's amazing puppet creations you get a truly fun film and a cute story with awesome effects and specialty camera work.

This isn't Snow White and the Huntsman, but it's not a bad film. You get to learn where the Huntsman came from and how he became what he is. There are plenty of good action scenes and the requisite comic relief, plus a surprise or two to boot. All in all this is a fun movie worth a look.

It's not the Jungle Book I remember from Disney, but it is. Yes, that doesn't sound right but it is. This is not a classicly animated film, but it is a neat new version. The voice actors do an impressive job and the CG characters are really cool. The score from Disney's original version is here and it doesn't disappoint. Have to say this is an interesting retake on a Disney Classic and worth a look.

No one will call this a masterpiece, but it's not a bad film. Some interesting takes on classic situations and themes. The acting isn't Oscar worthy, but it is more than adequate. The script is based on a book that presents a different take on a classic Sci Fi plot mechanism and carries it off very well. Altogether a fun movie to watch.

If you read the book this is different. Not bad, just different, while staying pretty true to the feel of the story. The special effects in this film may well be the best in the trilogy. All in all a pretty good movie.
