'''A Good Year for Movies!'''== The House of Usher ==[[Image:20star.png]]* HorrorYet another movie version of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," this one in a contemporary setting. There has got to be at least a dozen House of Usher movies out there, the best being the classic 1960 version with Vincent Price. The 2006 version falls quite short. The best thing about this version is the good performance by Izabella Miko. Slow paced, boring, weak acting besides Miko. There's a newer 2008 version of this movie due to be released.== I'm Reed Fish ==[[Image:15star.png]]* Dorky Romantic ComedyThis is a very confusing, slow paced movie about a scrawny young guy that is making a movie about his relationship. You are watching his movie through the movie. I find it hard to believe that these gawky, skinny dorks are fetching these hot looking girls. Also, he seems to be some sort of local celebrity in small town America, where in reality it would be more likely he would be a weird outcast. Schuyler Fisk seems to have some real musical talent. Ultimately, this is just a weird, pointless, movie that uses some sort of movie-in-a-movie gimmick to try and sell an unbelievable situational romance. The movie moved to slowly and some people I watched it with actually fell asleep.== Lucky Number Slevin ==[[Image:25star.png]]* Crime Dark ComedyThis movie includes some strong actors like, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman, Josh Hartnett, Ben Kingsley, and Stanley Tucci. It seems like a modern Tarantino type complex pulp fiction feeling story with a few forced scenes and over analytical characters. It was nice to see Lucy Liu play a peppy sweet girl instead of a kung-fu b*tch as she is all too often typecast as. It changes a bit half way though and gets more serious. If its supposed to be more comic-book than believable, then it works, and serves as a pretty cool movie, although somewhat silly at times to the point of being distracting. I never quite get the popularity of Ben Kingsley, his lines are always delivered in a mumbling that is difficult to understand behind a heavy accent or perhaps just a speech impediment. He isn't very big either, making it difficult to believe he is a bad-*ss as he is so often cast. I guess being bald is enough to be tougher than nails in Hollywood. I wouldn't discourage anyone from watching this movie - it serves as good entertainment.Typical action movie formula, bullets flying everywhere but unable to find a target, explosions, and cars flying through the air. Robert Patrick is capable of great acting, yet continues to get cast in B movies like this. Everything explodes in this movie, just a series of endless explosions. Kelly Carlson from Nip Tuck appears in this movie. Professional wrestling's John Cena is the protagonist and really looks the part of a jarhead. Action overkill makes this movie rather mindless and boring.Typical action movie formula, bullets flying everywhere but unable to find a target, explosions, and cars flying through the air.

Action overkill makes this movie rather mindless and boring. I only started watching this movie because Robert Patrick's name was in the cast. It's a pretty stupid movie and the producer should be kicked in the sack for making it.This film was nothing like expected and much more than what seemed possible. Is the young girl a mythical princess of an underground kingdom or is it merely a mental escape from a horrific reality of war, a miserable mother, evil, and hopelessness. Evidence that others can see but only the girl is aware of the significance seems to suggest her fantasy is real. High artistic value. Subtitles. Fascinating and deeply real characters. This is a peek into the real Grimm's Fairy Tales. This is a movie that you will take with you after watching. You will continue to think about it again and again as you consider all of the film's meaning. Offbeat and beautiful. Characters make the film unforgettable.

I couldn't decide if I felt even a tiny little bit bad for the evil general guy at the end. He was pretty much an a**hole, but did he have a right to have his child know about his existence?Good story based on true events. Matthew McConaughey overacts. Matthew Fox is inspirational. Underrated Ian McShane proves there's life after Deadwood and demonstrates his extreme talent. David Strathairn as President Dedmon is the tragic hero of this story. His courage allowed the Football program to continue and his reward was termination. Good story based on true events. Matthew McConaughey overacts. Matthew Fox is inspirational. Underrated Ian McShane proves there's life after Deadwood and demonstrates his solid talent. David Strathairn as President Dedmon is the tragic hero of this story. His courage allowed the Football program to continue and his reward was termination. Actually, McConaughey was somewhat annoying in this movie, it was like he was trying too hard to be the character. It is an inspirational film though, and a story worth telling. I don't know if I will watch it more than once, but I can definitively recommend it to others.
