"The Lake House" Movie Review

The Lake House (2006) Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves
This movie was absolutely terrible. It had a stupid plot. I thought this was a bad version of You've Got Mail. I had expected a lot better from this movie. The previews on this movie were The Holiday, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Superman Returns, Lady in the Water. The previews were the most entertaining part.

"Cars" Movie Review

Cars (2006) Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Paul Newman
This is the seventh movie from Disney and Pixar and is about a race car who is trying to find his way to California and compete in a race. I really liked this movie a lot. The previews on this movie were Nacho Libre, Garfield: a Tale of Two Kitties, Meet the Robinsons, Ratatouille.

"X-Men: the Last Stand" Movie Review

X-Men: the Last Stand (2006) Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, James Marsden, Anna Paquin, Kelsey Grammer, Ian McKellen
This movie is the third film in the X-Men series. I saw this movie at the Grand Theater in Bismarck in Giant Curved Screen Theater #11 (the same one I saw Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith). It was a huge theater and a really nice one. It was so cool seeing it on the Giant Curved Screen. The previews on this movie were Nacho Libre, The Devil Wears Prada, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, You, Me, and Dupree, Lady in the Water, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Superman Returns, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I absolutely loved this movie and I am going to buy it on DVD when it comes out.

"Mission Impossible 3" Movie Review

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Keri Russell
This is the third film in the Mission Impossible series. I thought this was an excellent movie with lots of action and suspense and I am going to buy it on DVD when it comes out. The previews on this movie were Over the Hedge, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, X-Men: the Last Stand, Superman Returns, Nacho Libre. As much of a nutcase I think Tom Cruise is these days, he actually did a good job. Philip Seymour Hoffman played the villain and did an awesome job.
