Well, I was in Florida for the last week, so you might think I didn't watch any movies.... Well, you couldn't be more wrong. Evidently every single day in Florida right around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, storm clouds roll in and then it rains on and off for about 2 hours. Well, the wife & I generally wound up ordering movies at that time. In addition, somtimes when she'd go to sleep a little earlier than me or something, I'd order one. Anyways, I have a week long backlog... Here goes....
Underworld: Evolution
This was a pretty cool follow up to a pretty good original. The story was only slightly confusing, but the action and gore were cool. The only big problem I have with these movies is how much they overuse the CGI but I guess that's inevitable in this day and age.

Ice Age: The Meltdown
This was a decent movie for the whole family, but it seemed to be aimed at the kiddies. I can't stand Queen Latifah though and she was a main character so that was one big detractor for me. The kids will like it, you might not.

Failure to Launch
Ugh! This is what I get when I let the wife pick. This movie sucked big time. The script was bad, the physical comedy seemed overdone and out of place and what the hell is Terry Bradshaw doing with a large role in a motion picture? I can't even stand to watch that doof on the halftime shows! This was a stupid chick flick with a stupid, stupid plot and very subpar comedy timing. Kathy Bates was the sole bright spot in this pile of crap.

Madagascar
Yeah!!! This was the animated film I had been waiting for since Toy Story! I loved it. Fun, fresh (Although not anymore, I see it has already been duplicated by Disney's The Wild) and just very well done! Ben Stiller and Chris Rock take the leads and do great and the rest of the cast, including David Scwimmer and Andy Richter round out the animated ensemble perfectly. I was entertained from start to finish.
