The Dukes of Hazzard:


Haven't seen it, but from the commercials I don't think its going to hold that much of a similiarity to the television show.  Don't walk into the movie theatre thinking that the characters will act exactly like they did in the show.

Must Love Dogs:


I don't know about you, but that movie, just from watching the ads seemed immensely stupid.  Typical romance movie with the typical plot.  The best scene in the entire movie is probably when Diane Lane's character answers her father's personal ad because trailers for movies like this always put the best part in them.  It's the worm to drag the fish in.

The Island:


I've actually seen this one, and liked it reasonably enough.  But usually 'lets-run-around-and-escape-the-enemy' movies irritate me.  When there is too much running around frantically a person tends to just drum their fingers on the movie theatre chair and say, "Okay, is it over now?"  Might get boring for some people, plot begins to get weak towards the end.

Fantastic Four


Holy moly and some peanut butter on the side...this movie was BORING.  The plot was terrible and reeked of bad acting along with reused concepts from old movies.  It'd be nice if the film didn't try and shove morals down your throat every 15 minutes.  "You've got to accept who a person is for what they are."  "You have to love yourself even if you're different."
WE GET IT.  The only thing that redeems this film are the action sequences.

Stealth:


*Drool falls from mouth after losing a few brain cells from seeing this movie*
Predictability is gushing from this film.  It's plot is DEFINITELY ripped off from 'I, Robot' and even 'Iron Giant', the childrens movie.  Hmmm...a robot that takes over the world?  Kills thousand of people...nooooo, that doesn't sound familiar.  In the theatre I could sit there and guess what was going to happen next...I could've turned it into a drinking game.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow:


Pleeeease, I haven't even seen it yet and I already now whats going to happen.  The same thing that happened in the last film.  Low blows directed towards women who have flaws in appearance and manner.  Original isn't it?  I guess it will appeal to the same crowd who liked the last movie, the crowd that laughed at the potty mouth humor and the lacking acting ability of Rob Schneider who can't make a serious movie worth his life.  Stop trying to be an Adam Sandler wannabe Schneider.

Four Brothers:


Seems almost like a semi-rip off of 'The Boondock Saints' except the casting director wanted to add some color.  If you're looking for good action scenes, this is probably the movie you want to see.  If you want to see overly dramatic brothers get over their differences by whining and arguing...go see it.  I must make a point that it was modeled after the Hathaway movie, "The Sons of Katie Elder" and it doesn't even compare.  Well, it compares a little but the producer just added more carnage and killing for the sake of the American audience.

The Skeleton Key:


I don't know about this one.  From the trailers, it does look good but we all know that trailers can misrepresent the truth.  When you go to see this, just remember, if they call it a 'psychological thriller' keep in mind that people will probably TALK more than there will be scary scenes and moments.
