ReviewCity: Part Deux!

This is what happens when all you did one weekend was watch movies (and sleep and go to 1/2 price appetizer happy hours and drop off friend to airport really early in the morning even though you stayed up so late the nite before and playing video games). Enjoy:

--Movie Review: The Recruit: 2.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About Colin Farrell and his battle to survive being a CIA recru...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. This movie was so boring. There were no real action sequence. And the movie has so many twisted that you get tired of them!


--Movie Review: Daredevil: 4.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About Ben Affleck and his battle to show the world that he can do a good movie without Matt Damon. Okay, I really do hate Ben Affleck (like the rest of the world) but I really enjoyed his protrayed of Matt Murdock. In my eyes, he IS DAREDEVIL. Faithful to the comics, down to his awesome fighting stick. Bulleyes was kinda silly though people should realized that is how Colin Farrel REALLY is (accent and behavior). Jennifer Garner is HOT but she always is. She is better in Alias though.


--Movie Review: Primal Fear: 3.5 Denstars (out of 5)
About Richard Gere and his battle to defend a "guilty man" in court. This was my first time I ever saw this movie even though everyone i know talks about it. And I thought it was okay. Not great nor bad, just okay. Pretty much, nothing memorable about this movie. Yes, this was Edward Norton's first ever movie and you can truely see how great of an actor he will become but not memorable. Oh well...


--Movie Review: Life of David Gale: 3.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About Kevin Spacey and his battle to save himself from Deathrow. I saw this movie at an "art house" theatre so I was expecting a lot. I didn't get it. This movie was way too "Hollywood" to be at an art house theatre. Very contribed story with many blatant "oscar clips" moments for our actors. This movie truely suffers from the fact that it is NOT based on true story, because the story was way too unbelievable to be enjoyed.


--Movie Review: One Hour Photo: 3.5 Denstars (out of 5)
About Robin Williams and his battle become a part of a family for whom he develops their pictures for. Though the performance were great and the concept was very interesting, the movie was okay. Not as scary as many claim to be, if at all. Very creepy preformance by Mr. Williams. And its good to see Mr. Nice Guy from Alias, Michael Vartan be a jerk in this movie. Take that (to all those girls who swoon over him)!


--Movie Review: Old School: 4.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About Wil Farrell and his battle to show the world he is still very funny after SNL. This movie was very funny, with tons of great moments with Mr. Farrell himself. Pretty dumb movie, but great. See it if you like to leave brain at door.


You know what's wierd? Every movie I mentioned have some kind of connection with each other. Like Alias star Jennifer Garner in Daredevil and Alias star Michael Vartan in One Hour Photo, Colin Farrell in 2 movies, same last name of Will Farrel, Laura Linney was in both Life of David Gale and Primal Fear..etc.
