Review - Well I went into this film expecting something lame, becasue well Ashton Kutcher is in it, and I have come to not expect much from his stuff. But I did get some enjoyment from this film, there is some clever time travel stuff in here. How he comes about his time travel abilities... well I won't dig to deep, as I want to keep what little enjoyment I did get from this movie
Rating - Run of the mill thriller/time travel movie, see it only if something like Memento or Dead Again are rented out.

The Manchurian Canidate
Viewed - In the Theater
Review - Where the original dealt with the looming threat of communism, this one deals more with the looming threat of corruptable goverment, and how the corporations real run and influence the goverment. This is overall a great story of paranoia and x-file like dealings. I am also glad to see a hit from director Jonathan Demme, but you have to ask yourself... is he going to make an original movie... or is he just going to keep re-making other peoples movies. His last 2 movies were re-makes (The truth about Charlie being the other... BOMB!!!!) think he might try to get above the .500 mark in the re-make department. But onto the actors, I have to say all the performances were excellent, and I particularly enjoyed Liev Scrieber's performance as the smug Raymond Shaw.
Rating - You want to see a great and tense thriller, check this one out. Also I checked this out in a Matinee, I would have gladly paid full price for it.

Mean Girls
Viewed - On DVD
Review - Ok I may take soem heat for saying this... but I loved this movie. There were some great funny parts... and the eye candy did not hurt. I mean these are supposed to be high school girls, and let me tell you, no girls I went to high school with looked anything like these girls. Also an excellent first movie script from SNL writter and star Tina Fey, I hope she keeps up the good work, and puts out another script full of mean humor and sarcasm.
Rating - What can I say a real winner, check it out.

Fahrenheit 911
Viewed - On DVD
Review - I love Michael Moore movies bottom line. I love movies that make you think and look at things a bit diffrently then you normally would. This movie was made with one mission in mind, DO NOR RE-ELECT BUSH!!!!!. Well if I was American I think this movie would have made me go out and learn some things for myself about the people I was going to vote for. This movie does not have the slight humorous undertones, or the tounge in cheek wit that the Michael Moore's other movies have, but I think it done like that on purpose.
Rating - If you loved his other stuff check this one out, if you didn't well check it out anyways for some eye opening information on the American presdient.
