THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
Rating: ** out of 5
Review: Great cast, faithful to the legendary humorous nvoel, great FX and superb puppet work by the Jim Henson Shop...however, the movie just isn't funny. What do you call a comedy that isn't funny? A waste of time.
STAR WARS: EPISODE II: REVENGE OF THE SITH
Rating: **1/2 out of 5
Review: Best film of the prequel STAR WARS trilogy, but its still a very very very MEH movie. Superb CGI work by ILM, along with great composing work once again from John Williams. This explains how Darth Vader came to be, but why is it I still don't feel satisfied?
BATMAN BEGINS
Rating: **** out of 5
Review: Best film of the summer that recreates in true comic book-esque tradition the legend of the "Bat Man". Superb acting from Bale, Caine, Neeson, and the rest involved without any sense of camp or chewing the scenary. Superb style from director Christopher Nolan.
LAND OF THE DEAD
Rating: *** out of 5
Review: Romero's fourth DEAD movie in the long-lasting horror franchise, where zombies continue to evolve from DAY OF THE DEAD and humans continue to become more evil than the infesting evil plague itself. Big Daddy for President!
CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Rating: ***1/2 out of 5
Review: Very enjoyable Tim Burton film that fits into his increasing autuer-istic career.More visually and storytelling-wise interesting than the original film. No wonder its a box-office hit.
