It's not even February yet, and we've already watched a lot of movies, both in theaters and on DVD. A lot of it is due to the writers' strike, meaning nothing on TV.
Resident Evil: Extinction. Curiously, we watched this 11pm on New Year's Eve, stopped briefly to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and then finished it 2008. Pretty much paint-by-numbers, but it was good enough, I suppose. Milla Jovovich is pretty attractive, as usual, and looks better as she seems to have gained weight. Ali Larter pretty much plays Niki, a supposed tough gal who weeps a lot.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets. The first one was better, as it had more puzzle-solving and a longer tour of American History. Still, though, this one's not bad, and is a nice way to spend two hours at the movies. I always enjoy Nicolas Cage's acting, even if it is a bit hammy sometimes.
Shoot 'Em Up. Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti go for the paycheck. It's fun, true, but it's stupid fun. Although Clive Owen gets to play BMW Driver again. Monica Bellucci is always a plus, although she's getting a bit long in the tooth.
The Simpsons Movie. Funny, funny movie, although the middle part (the one where they go to Alaska) is quite strange, as everyone starts acting out-of-character (especially Homer). Other than that, this was a hilarious movie. Best (throwaway) line belongs to Ralph Wiggum: "I like men now!"
Rush Hour 3. Always nice to see Paris again, but this could've been a TNT original movie and I wouldn't have to waste a rental on it.
