Interstate 60 2.5 Stars
james mardsen is troubled in his life, so with help from a weird gary oldman, travels interstate 60, a alternte time and place, looks like this could have been a lot more daring, has some charm, but bottles out a lot of time, feels a bit tv movie to me

americanes will lap this up, a very sickly sweet drama, with everyman costner through circumstances not his doing, has to decide, the outcome of presidential race, a lot of,,america is the best,, but we have problems, all the way through, a film that wants to be take seriously but at same time has his daughter whos about 11, driving her drunk dad home, it wants it both ways,

the problem with thi film is, it could have been so much better, the story is sidelined a bit for action, and a very weak climax even though they went the action route. the plot, when gone into does sound interesting, but it seems theres so much more to see, maybe a tv series later, who knows

Meet the Spartans 1.5 Stars
i avoided this in cinema because i knew it be bad, so a one and a half star is more than i thought id give it, 2 times where a joke was very funny, was something i wasent expecting, and carmen electra, stunning throughout, sh so hot in this, and one thing, all the gay jokes, 300 did that on its own, theres no need to make a spoof of that

not a fan of show so cant really say if this stands up, but in terms of a film of its own, it was rather dull, but had some good moments, duchovney and anderson were good to watch, but story was rather flat,

torture pawn, as hostel and many others have shown, but sex, 3 women enslavingh a man and doing things to him, and aftermath when hes releaed, and how its changed him, starts off good, but drastically goes down hill in 2nd half, the women are hot, which is something, but this could have been so much better

The Tripper 1.0 Star
a low budget horror of a group of teens getting kiled, and also trying to be hip and cool, and speak out against bush and irakbut very badly at both, it just doesent fit, the deaths and horror moments are badly done, and also you get the worst part from any kevin smith film, yes jason mewes, that annoying guy, trying to act, luckily not to far from his only so called talent

Superman IV - The Quest for Peace 2.0 Stars
badly done, a story the product of the 80s, nuclear weapons and a film trying to give message,,,nuclear is bad, a bad villain in nuclear man, nowhere near the class of villains on show in superman 2. and the days long gone whed you could believe a man could fly, the effects on show are bad, but i have to admit its a good bad film, dont expect the masterpiece of 1 and 2, or even as good as 3, but, they gave it a shot

what starts out as a annoying story of a g.i going of to war leaving his love, during ww2, then turns into a young lad in belfast northern ireland finding a ring, which belongs to them, and getting involved with the i.r.a, a quite stupid story, especially the american parts, and irish parts spoilt by the casting of the boy, hes so jolly, too good to be true, especially when bombs keep going off,

francis ford coppolas follow up to 1997 rainmaker, and a bit of a dull return, although tim roth comes off ok in this, playing a 88 year old transfomed into a youthful 40 year old, with various groups trying to get piece of him and his mind, a passion project for coppola, and it shows, just a shame theres nothing memorable in here, and after a ten year wait from the director of the godfather trilogi, conversation, and apocolypse now, a disapointment, it does look great though,
