The Tripper - very trippy, fun, over the top, surprisingly political... I enjoyed it a lot.

i wasnt crazy about the gameplan .. it was formulatic and predictable - pretty redundant with nothing new to give - other than his perfromance which i did like. I think he's going to have a very expansive and rewarding career. my last seen : - once bitten (holy 80's batman - this one is dated) - ashanti - movie i saw in the theatre years agood .. great cast - the hard corps (van damme) poorly written gansta dialogue - but not bad otherwise

i forgot - we saw Wall-E on the weekend as well.
another movie i thought would suck after seeing the ads. a very unfortunate campaign that is playing up this bullshit self serving smug cuteness that makes my teeth ache. however .... the ads do the film a great diservice. it was actually really really good. the animation was outstanding, the story was very good ... i cant say a bad thing about it. even where it got emotional - it wasnt forced - didnt feel contrived . this movie took a page from the Monster's Inc book .. quality kids film - rather that the other maudlin crap Disney has produced.

No- I'm not joking. Dwayne Johnson stars as a hockey player who is turned into the Tooth Fairy. Sure to be just loaded with that charismatic acting of the caliber of "The Game Plan" where they would point the camera at the former Rock and tell him "Okay Dwayne, now cock your head to the left... a little more... now put on a frowny face... good... shoot that reaction! It's GOLD!" It's clear why they dropped "The Rock" from his name- it would be too tempting to compare his acting to said inatimate object. Oh yah... expansive....

Bugcrush
-Sound short, with solid performances and thick, creepy atmosphere. The Ruins -Story's kinda flimsy, but it's very well done, which kept it interesting. Both of those were from Carter Smith. Bugcrush, the best of the two imo, he both wrote and directed. And with The Ruins, he took a borderline boring story and made it about as entertaining as you probably could. So I'm looking forward to whatever he does next. By the way, I agree with urge. Rock's charisma is undeniable, and I don't see how you can watch Gridiron Gang and say he can't display emotion. Just my opinion.

In each of the movies he has done so far in his short career, whether hits or flops, he has owned each one of them. His personality and on-screen presence is very strong. Just pick up any one of his movies and look at him...and you will see his domination. I think he will go on and be one step ahead of Schwarzenegger, because the man CAN act, too.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
It was an ok movie, certainly not bad, but missing that extra something. Maybe it's because I'm not 8 anymore, but it just didn't feel like an Indy flick to me.
