Dark Water

This is the story of a Lady and her daughter, recently separated, finding a cheap apartment and discovering a startling secret in the apartment above. The ending was not what you expected but it was cool. A nice horror flick. 4/5 stars.

The Perfect Catch

It was as expected based on the trailer. A love story of a career girl and a school teacher/sports fanatic. It was funny and shallow but it was what it claimed. It was fun with funny moments. 3/5 stars.

The Blade of the Rose

This movie started out ok. The acting of the first girl you see (Thirteenth Master) is a little ... rather, very lacking. It was reminiscent of some Filipino actors in daytime tv. The kungfu scenes were great though. Nice moves and nice wire fights. The other girl (Blue bird) was really pretty and acted well enough. Again, a few characters that needed acting class with some failing in their attempt in comedy. Jackie Chan's special appearance and fight scene was cool. Overall, it was a bit of a disappointment. Had they made it a serious flick, it would have been better.

A Sound of Thunder

It was a very interesting Sci-fi action movie playing with the What-if of an abused time machine. The scenery was high tech but the blue screen effect was so obvious. The monsters were common. The effects werent so hot. The cars werent so interesting. Actually fell asleep a little in the middle. 3/5 stars.

Cinderella Man

This turned out to be a really nice movie than what i expected. It had drama but not too much and it had enough action, too. it was a really inspiring movie about a family man who was into boxing. It was worth the time. 4.5/5 stars in my book.

Red Eye

A nice suspense movie. It all revolves around a hotel manager, her father and a hotel guest. The trailer shows how this guy she kept bumping into turned out to be someone who is after her to do something. 4 out of 5.

The Cave

Cool movie. A suspense action flick about monsters in a cave being mapped by some professional spelunkers. The plot is fairly simple. They found a cave, they explored it, got trapped, discovered the monsters and after a few deaths, got out.... with a twist ;) Its a nice movie to watch if youve seen Sky High.

The Dukes of Hazzard

I dont remember the TV show from way back when with a similar title. It was a little too red-neck for my taste. Yeah, Daisy, played by Jessica Simpson, is sexy in the movie but other than that and the car action, it was not really that good. I fell asleep in the middle.

Sky High

A teen flick about the son of 2 superheroes who got his powers late after enrolling in Sky High, a highschool for children of heroes. Its fun in a sci-fi fantasy sort of way. I like the effects and the concept. It is fun to watch. This is the first of the three new movies this week we watched and it was a good decision.
