Just My Luck (2006)
Freaky Friday II The Return... or something like that
I was amazed that my eight year old daughter found this movie almost as silly as I did, and thats not a good thing. I went with my Mother (82) and my daughter (8) and wished I was somewhere else. I don't usually feel that way, I liked Chris Pine in the Princess Diaries II and I liked Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday, I watch several movies with my daughter that I actually enjoy. I had to walk out at one point due to the shear stupidity of the scene. I am not saying that the movie was a total loss, I gave it a 3 after all, there were some good scenes and some good chemistry between Chris and Lindsay but the writer, Director and whoever handled the editing should reconsider the material. I would hate to think that was the best they got during filming... One highlight was the band, they were pretty good as were the friends. Missi Pyle's talent was completely wasted as the "boss" leaving this movie as a Lindsay Lohan vehicle that crashed on the way to the audience.

Serenity (2005)
Every bit as good as the series and then some
Joss Whedon is a fabulous story teller and the crew didn't miss a beat or loose their obvious chemistry for one another. After seeing the trailer I was worried that it was going over the top with all out war in an unarmed aged ship. I am glad that the story became what it did, full of surprise and rife with the emotion that drove the show. Many but not all of the questions raised were answered but many where. For those who are unfamiliar with the series, some parts may confuse you but the stroy is still far superior to this years pap. If you are looking for a family movie beware, the content is mature and my daughter (8) hid her head several times, though most of her hiding was done during the 10 - 15 minutes of previews including a graphic trailer for Saw II, no thank you. The best part of Serenity is that it seemed to be leaving an opening for something more...
