Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

Decent movie for a few laughs

[5/10 · 15 May 2008]

Slight spoilers ahead!

I liked this movie a bit.I found that it had far too many serious incidents (KKK is nothing to joke about). I think it's funny to make fun of everyone but the whole terrorist thing was too played out. NPH was pretty funny. The scary kid in the basement was too. I also liked the back story about Kumar. It became a little mushy at the end. I liked the first movie a lot. This one is worth seeing if you really liked the first one. Expect to laugh a little bit and you won't be disappointed. I just think it could have been better. Maybe another sequel will be better with more Rosenberg and Goldstein.

Superman Returns (2006)

One of the best but not quite the best!

[7/10 · 29 June 2006]

This was a very good superhero movie. I would say that it is one of the best behind Batman, Superman, X2 and Spiderman 2. Brandon Routh does a great job as Superman but not quite the bumbling Clark Kent that Christopher Reeve was. I think that Kate Bosworth was decent although a bit young looking as Lois Lane. I really liked James Marsden as Richard White and I thought that Kevin Spacey did a good job as Lex Luthor. It would have been nice to see even more of Lex. I also wish that they would have told more of why Superman left and what he was doing. I enjoyed the special effects as well as the touching twist at the end. Overall, an enjoyable superhero movie that should be spawning some sequels.

American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005 Video)

If you liked the others, you'll enjoy this slice!

[8/10 · 30 December 2005]

I must say I like all the American Pie movies, but without the original cast I was a bit skeptical. This movie has all the crude humor and laughs that the others had. I enjoyed the character of Matt Stifler although I think they could have gone even farther with the making of the videos. Overall a very good teen flick that anyone can enjoy. I liked this better than most comedies lately and I hope that Matt and Elyse can return in "American Family" since Michelle was pregnant in this one. I think that would be a great way to end the series. I'm hoping that people give this movie a chance and realize that although the Stifler character is over the top, the movie does send a message. It's a funny and sometimes disgusting way to do so but definitely a worthy one indeed.

Batman Begins (2005)

The Bat is Back!!!

[8/10 · 16 July 2005]

This was a very enjoyable movie although Christian Bale is a little over the top voicing Batman, he did do a good job. I also thought that Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine gave great performances as well. I'd say that this is my second favorite Batman next to the original. I hope they keep it dark and gritty and I think that Christopher Nolan did a fine job. The movie combines drama, action and a little humor wrapped up into a finely crafted story of how Batman evolved. I thought Katie Holmes did an okay job but lacked that character depth as well as some of the the villains. I would have like to have known even more about the Scarecrow. Overall, very pleased and hopefully they continue to bring back the bat!
