The Comebacks


Well if you've got an hour and 40 minutes with nothing to do, this probably isn't going to fill that void either. This movie is a stupid spoof of sports themed movies. There was nothing in this movie that remotely resembled humour. This would be the old animal house movies gone bad. Actually the animal house movies were pretty damn stupid as well. Oh well, watch it if you want to, but I definately wouldn't recommend it, but hell I didn't recommend I Am Legend either.

Juno


Well I wasn't sure what to think about this when I read the info on IMDB.com. I mean a movie about a highschool girl that gets pregnant and the father is her geeky friend, and she's wants to give the baby up for adoption once it's born. But I have to tell that I found this movie quite good. It had just the right amount of humour throughout the movie. It was a good story surrounding what the main character Juno was going thru during her pregnancy, her families reactions, her changing relationship with the geeky friend, and her relationship with couple that she's chosen to be the adoptive parents. Now don't get me wrong this would definately be classified as a chick flick, more of a highschool chick flick, but it's surprisinly good. Give it a try.

The Hunting Party


I'm not sure what to think of this movie, it seemed sort of slow, but a had a few redeeming moments in the movie that give you a chuckle. Richard Gere plays a washed up journalist and Terrance Howard plays Gere's cameraman. The two reported on the war in the former Yugoslavia and are now trying to hunt down the largest war criminal from the war to get an "interview" with him.
