Failure To Launch (2006)

Who’s in it

Matthew McConaughey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Terry Bradshaw, Kathy Bates

Should you see this movie?

This was as cute and funny as the previews made it seem. McConaughey is a hot bachelor who is in his late thirties and bringing women home to his parents house, where he lives. The parents are sick of him being there, so they hire a lady who helps men “launch” into the real world and relationships, in a devious sort

Urban Cowboy (1980)

Who’s in it

John Travolta, Debra Winger, Scott Glenn

Should you see this movie?

I hated this movie. I really like Travolta in general, but this was terrible, he just treats women like crap and quickly becomes a redneck after coming from the big city. I didn’t care about the subject content, mechanical bull riding, the male competition over women and stubborness, or how anyone acted towards one another, cheating, lying, games all in a bar setting. It wasn’t funny,

Bought First Pac-man in Indianapolis, IN

Earlier in the month, actually June 1st, I bought my very first arcade machine – a beleaguered Pac-man. I had been looking for a Ms. Pac-man specifically, but found this instead at Wagner Gameworks. With some cabinet damage and some terrible attempts at touchup, this Pac-man was a great candidate to be taken out back and set on fire. Depending on how you look at it then, it was fortunate that I picked it up.

So I Married An Axe Murderer (1993)

Who’s in it

Mike Myers, Nancy Travis

Should you see this movie?

Maybe. This was the third time I saw this movie this summer, and it has finally grown on me. If you are stuck in the early 90’s and liked Mike Myers humor then, this movie may not sit well with you like it did for me. I never thought it was very funny, just the opening part at the

Inside Man (2006)

Who’s in it

Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, William Dafoe, Christopher Plummer, Jody Foster

Should you see this movie?

This was a decent movie with a great cast. The title is interesting, implying something different than it actually is. The movie centers around a bank heist and the demands from a highly intelligent ringleader to the middle of the road cop Denzel Washington. Throw in Foster’s character, you love to hate her, and you have a

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Who’s in it

Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Kelsey Grammer, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Shawn Ashmore, Aaron Stanford, Vinnie Jones, Ben Foster, on and on

Should you see this movie?

If you liked the other ones you will probably like this. I had great expectations for this film, but was nervous because of the director Brett Ratner. I think Marvel has to be really careful with their directors, because they have so many

Lucky Number Slevin (2006)

Who’s in it

Bruce Willis, Ben Kingsley, Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman, Stanley Tucci

Should you see this movie?

All star cast, surprisingly good movie. Hartnett seems like a hapless, stupid idiot, without a clue in the world when two of the biggest crime bosses in town want to see him, but by the end of the movie you know that he is anything but clueless. Good twists, good turns, some violence, it is
