Repo Men

Jude Law (Remy)

Forest Whitaker (Jake)

Liev Schreiber (Frank)

Alice Braga (Beth)

Setting: In the Not to Distant Future

Remy (Jude Law) and Jake (Forest Whitaker) are repossession agents working for Frank (Liev Schreiber). Frank sells body parts (artificial livers, artificial kidneys, artificial hearts, etc.) with a buy now, pay later policy. But if you don't pay later, the repo men pay you a call and take back the property. After a near fatal shock, Remy wakes up with an artificial heart owned by Frank. After falling behind on his payments, Remy must watch out for the repo man. Not quite there. I would rate it a 3 out of 5 stars. The End.

Green Zone

Matt Damon (Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller)
Greg Kinnear (Clark Poundstone)
Amy Ryan (Lawrie Dayne)
Brendan Gleeson (Martin Brown)

Setting: Spring of 2003 - Baghdad,Iraq

Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) is on a search for WMD's in Iraq. The Special Assistant to the President (Greg Kinnear) and a CIA agent (Brendan Gleeson) are at odds whether WMD's are even in Iraq (the spook doesn't think they are). Along the way, Miller finds out that a reporter (Amy Ryan) has not even bothered to get confirmation on a story she has written about WMD's, and in fact took the White House's word. Oh, by the way, they don't exist. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars. The End.

Alice in Wonderland

Mia Wasikowska (Alice)

Johnny Depp (The Mad Hatter)

Helena Bonham Carter (The Red Queen)

Anne Hathaway (The White Queen)

Setting: In the Land of Make Believe

I have one word for it. Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. This time, Alice (Mia Wasikowska)is 20 years old. She is about to entertain a marriage proposal from Hamish (Leo Bill). Before she accepts, she makes a journey down the rabbit hole. She meets all sorts of characters including the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp),Tweedledee and Tweedledum (both parts played by Matt Lucas), and the Blue Caterpillar (Alan Rickman). The 3-D effects are awesome. I would rate it as a 4, but because the 3-D are stupendous, I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars. You must go and see this movie immediately! The End.

Valentine's Day

Ashton Kutcher (Reed Bennett)

Taylor Swift (Felicia)

Julia Roberts (Capt. Kate Hazeltine)

Jamie Foxx (Kelvin Moore)

More Stars Then The Universe

Setting: Present Day

The most positive thing I can say this film is I GOT IN FOR FREE! Oh, I got a free soda, too. About every two months I get a free movie because of the points I have accumulated with my Regal Crown Club card (but I had to use it today). Now, it all takes place on Valentines Day, and it is all interconnected. It would take too long to tell you about all the subplots in this movie. Suffice it to say, that every one is happy in the end except for Dr. Copeland (Patrick Dempsey). I think I would have liked it more if I were a girl and about 16. It definitely is a chick flick. I would rate it as 2 3/4 stars out of 5 stars because it had all the stars in it. The End.

The Crazies

Timothy Olyphant (David Dutton)

Radha Mitchell (Judy Dutton)

Joe Anderson (Russell Clank)

Danielle Panabaker (Becca Darling)

Setting: Present Day

Years ago, when I was running a sheltered workshop, there was a client who was convinced that everything was a government conspiracy. I couldn't help but think of him when I watched "The Crazies". A George Romaro film, I think I liked him best when he does zombie pictures instead. ("Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead", "Day of the Dead", "Land of the Dead", "Breakfast of the Dead", etc., etc.) The place is a rural town somewhere in Iowa, where something gets in to the drinking water. Slowly but surely, the whole town is driven mad. (Hence the name, "The Crazies"). The sheriff (Timothy Olyphant) and his wife (Radha Mitchell) attempt to flee before madness overtakes them. They're are so many inconsistencies, I can't begin to count them. Oh yeah, look away from the atomic blast, not towards it! I would only give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5 stars. The End.
