- DirectorRob HardyStarsCollins PenniePooch HallTika SumpterChance Harris looks to find a balance between his school, work, relationships and opportunity to perform at the nationally televised step competition during homecoming weekend at Truth University.4/24-Got pretty excited about this, but for me, it didn't live up to the hype. Pretty much a re-telling of the original, with more emphasis on frats not being gangs, or like gangs, I guess.
- DirectorDavid JacobsonStarsJeremy RennerBruce DavisonArtel GreatBiopic about notorious American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, taking place in both the past and the present.4/24-Really creepy, odd movie about Dahmer before he started to get into the eating people phase. As strange as a movie can get!
- DirectorDavid PetrarcaStarsIzabella MikoColumbus ShortJacqueline BissetSara joins Julliard to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a Prima ballerina, but she soon falls in love with hip-hop and a young composer - both of whom challenge her ambitions.4/24-I loved the first one, but this one, like the Stomp the Yard part 2, was just a retelling of the first. It wasn't even good in doing that!
- DirectorJohn CurranStarsEdward NortonMilla JovovichRobert De NiroA convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path.6/5-Interesting but very bad movie. Interesting in that you will sit and try to figure it out, but finally realize you wasted about 2 hours on a film that for all its good intentions turns out horrible.
- DirectorRodrigo CortésStarsRyan ReynoldsJosé Luis García-PérezRobert PatersonPaul is a U.S. truck driver working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.4/24-Totally awesome imaginative movie about somebody buried alive by an Iraqi insurgent. Not really a movie, but a minimal stage play.
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsAaron Taylor-JohnsonNicolas CageChloë Grace MoretzDave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a superhero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.4/24-The movie is cool, I really love the concept, but why does the 10 or 11 year old character in the movie have to curse so much?
- DirectorTony ScottStarsDenzel WashingtonChris PineRosario DawsonWith an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train barreling toward a city, a veteran engineer and a young conductor race against the clock to prevent a catastrophe.5/1-The only reason I like this is because of Denzel and his Hooter girl daughters (who I wished had bigger roles). Not one of Denzel's best roles, but for him it was probably just a decent paycheck.
- DirectorJohn McDougallStarsNicole AlexanderBoosie BadazzAmeer BarakaIn the streets of Baton Rouge, there are only two sides of the track. In the midst of a street war of South vs. North, Marcus Hatch (Lil Boosie) and Jai "Savage" Carter (Webbie) find themselves as rival drug dealers struggling to make ends meet. With the streets at war, someone must suffer the consequences. This movie centers on the personal challenges, setbacks and dilemmas of street life. Keep an eye peeled for Nicole (Hoopz) Alexander, who plays Slimm's (Tyrin Turner better known as Cain from Menace II Society) love interest and medical student, rap stars Bun B and Paul Wall also appear in supporting roles, as well as cameos by Trill Entertainment's own Foxx, Lil' Phat, Lil Trill, KaDe, & Big Head.5/1-A "hood" flick. The only interesting aspect of this one is that the guy who was the main actor in Menace to Society is the star of this one. Him and a rapper with Lil' in his name.
- DirectorNeil LaButeStarsSamuel L. JacksonPatrick WilsonKerry WashingtonA troubled and racist African-American L.A.P.D. Officer will stop at nothing to force out a friendly interracial couple who just moved in next door to him.5/1-Seen it before. I just love the girl who plays his daughter. Oh yeah, it was a good commentary on race in America as well.
- DirectorPhillip NoyceStarsAngelina JolieLiev SchreiberChiwetel EjioforA CIA agent goes on the run after a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy.5/8-I was pretty hyped about this, and it lived up to it. Really good!
- DirectorMichael LembeckStarsDwayne JohnsonAshley JuddJulie AndrewsA bad deed on the part of a tough minor-league hockey player results in an unusual sentence: He must serve one week as a real-life tooth fairy.5/15-Not very memorable.
- DirectorDavis GuggenheimStarsCharles AdamsJonathan AlterRobert BalfanzAn examination of the current state of education in America today.5/15-Pleasantly surprised about this shocking and deep documentary about the perils of education in public schools. The school "lottery" scenes are really depressing.
- DirectorTanya HamiltonStarsAnthony MackieKerry WashingtonJamara GriffinIn 1976, complex political and emotional forces are set in motion when a young man returns to the race-torn Philadelphia neighborhood where he came of age during the Black Power movement.5/15-Really awesome movie with a nice hip hop score about some black power era radicals dealing with the realities of life when the revolution doesn't come, and their message gets twisted. Excellent.
- DirectorGeorge Tillman Jr.StarsDwayne JohnsonBilly Bob ThorntonMaggie GraceAn ex-con gets on a series of apparently unrelated killings. He gets tracked by a veteran cop with secrets of his own and an egocentric hit man.5/16-Was not what I expected.
- DirectorTyler PerryStarsJanet JacksonAnika Noni RoseWhoopi GoldbergEach of the women portray one of the characters represented in the collection of twenty poems, revealing different issues that impact women in general and women of color in particular.5/30-Didn't know what to expect, but I was really carried away with this one. White people hate the title, and I really didn't like the "poetry every five minutes" approach, but the characters were likable and real.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsShia LaBeoufMichael DouglasCarey MulliganNow out of prison but still disgraced by his peers, Gordon Gekko works his future son-in-law, an idealistic stock broker, when he sees an opportunity to take down a Wall Street enemy and rebuild his empire.5/30-I liked the social commentary in this, and the story was kinda cool also.
- DirectorMartin BrestStarsEddie MurphyJudge ReinholdJohn AshtonA freewheeling Detroit cop pursuing a murder investigation finds himself dealing with the very different culture of Beverly Hills.5/30-Caught a movie marathon on Memorial Day.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsEddie MurphyJudge ReinholdJürgen ProchnowAxel Foley returns to Beverly Hills to help Taggart and Rosewood investigate Chief Bogomil's near-fatal shooting and the series of "alphabet crimes" associated with it.5/30-Movie marathon part #2!
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEddie MurphyJon TenneyJoey TravoltaAxel Foley, while investigating a car theft ring, comes across something much bigger than that: the same men who killed his boss are running a counterfeit money ring out of a theme park in Los Angeles.5/30-This wasn't that bad!
- DirectorMarcus RaboyStarsIce CubeMike EppsJeezyTwo shady concert promoters (Cube and Epps) get into hot water when their chance to book a superstar rapper goes awry.6/5-Hapless, totally dumb "hood" flick that I think Ice Cube tried to hide because he was probably too embarrassed to be associated with it. After his ventures into more conservative family fare Cube wanted to go back to the streets. If you don't like "hood" flicks, you won't like it, but then again, if you do like them, you still might end up hating this!
- DirectorMel GibsonStarsJim CaviezelMonica BellucciMaia MorgensternDepicts the final twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem.7/23-Finally saw this one! I had been waiting like forever to see this one. Truly great! Words can't even describe how great this movie is.
- DirectorRob CohenStarsBrendan FraserJet LiMaria BelloIn the Far East, Alex O'Connell, the son of famed mummy fighters Rick and Evy O'Connell, unearths the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin -- a shape-shifting entity cursed by a witch centuries ago.8/17-Pretty good Sunday afternoon cable kung fu movie which to me was of epic proportions. Can't help but love the amazing Jet Li.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsBrandon RouthKevin SpaceyKate BosworthSuperman returns to Earth after spending five years in space examining his homeworld Krypton. But he finds things have changed while he was gone, and he must once again prove himself important to the world.8/17-Didnt know what to expect and I am a purist when it comes to movies from the 70s and 80s but this wasn't bad at all. Not as great as 1&2 but much better than #3, which isn't saying much but it is true. They bounced back from the stupid factor of #3 and tried to go back to basics.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsMolly RingwaldAnthony Michael HallJustin HenryA girl's "sweet" sixteenth birthday is anything but special: her family forgets about it, and she suffers from every embarrassment possible.8/22-Just had to watch this again. You know, this is one of those movies you watch when you are bored, and you see one scene that you seen 50 times before and you get sucked in!
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEddie MurphyDan AykroydRalph BellamyA snobbish investor and a wily street con artist find their positions reversed as part of a bet by two callous millionaires.8/22-Another movie that was part of my marathon of watching movies on TNT or one of those cable channels that plays this over and over again.
