JULY HOTTIE OF THE MONTH

ELIZABETH BANKS

You know Banks from such comedy hits as 'The 40 Year Old Virgin', the Spider-Man films, 'Slither' and the up coming 'Zach & Mira Make a Porno'.  Bringing sexy back to comedy, Elizabeth is set to warp speed with more major films lined up including the much hyped Oliver Stone pic 'W.'

THE DARK KNIGHT - 4 STARS

It rare for a film to live up to it's hype.  It's even more rare for a comic book based film to surpass such hype.  The Dark Knight is a movie that stretches far beyond it's history making hype!  Chris Nolan some how tops Batman Begins with a story that fits all of the characters into a script that IS Oscar worthy.  The direction is top-notch and I'm happy to say that there is very little if any CGI!!  Every single action sequence acts out like a Russian ballet - perfect.  Christian Bale IS Batman and gives a performance that tops any other on screen comic book based hero.  Aaron Eckhert also surprises with a very real Harvey Dent along with the always fantastic Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and newcomer Maggie G.

The finest moments of this film however, belong to the late Heath Ledger as The Joker.  Every scene is classic, with Ledger's performance growing more insane as the film progresses.  The little nervous ticks and giggles give a truly insane and scary realism to his character and his one on one scenes with Bale are amazing.  It's the first time I actually saw the Joker as menacing outside of the comic books.  There's nothing funny about Ledger's performance - it's crazy to perfection.  Rumors of a posthumous Oscar nod won't seem so far fetched after viewing his performance.

Well worth your $12 - twice!  Every $$$ spent in making this film is visible and the entertainment value is equally worthy.

EVERYONE LOVES BRAD

 

Over the years I've seen all of Brad Pitt's movies, even 'Cutting Class' and I have to say that he's become quite likable.  I thought he was just for girls, but his acting has come a long way and he even got an Oscar nod for '12 Monkeys'.  So, my questions is....

REVIEW:  THE RUINS  3 1/2 STARS

Dmitri Baveas , Jonathan Tucker , Shawn Ashmore , Laura Ramsey , Joe Anderson and Jena Malone in DreamWorks Pictures' The Ruins

The Ruins was a great novel by Scott Smith, so why let someone else write the screenplay for it?  Exactly, that's why The Ruins movie works.  With a great script by Smith, a good cast and a very scary premise, The Ruins was one of the best horror films of the past 5-6 years.  A group of spring breakers in Cancun decide to trek out to a Mayan ruin to find a friend.  Once they get there they are not allowed to leave and are held at gunpoint to the ruin by it's villagers.  Why can't they leave the ruins once they enter?  It's a great story and well-executed the whole way through.  Plenty of tense scenes and the occassional scare can only prepare you for the really over-the-top frights to come!

June Hottie of the Month

BROOKE SHIELDS

She's been an icon of fashion for over 25 years and I think the older she gets - the hotter she becomes!  Brooke went from beautiful baby to beautiful girl to hot mom in front of eyes.  After seeing her recently on the Tony Awards I was reminded of how timeless her beauty is.  Cheers Brooke!

REVIEW:  TEETH 3 STARS

Dawn is a regular small town high school student with a little problem;  when she gets mad, her vagina grows teeth!  It hasn't been done yet and now that it has - OUCH!  I'm not sure how to catagorize this film, but I'll go with horror/comedy.  Most of the actors are unknowns, up & comers or character actors, so the cast is well-rounded.  The story is pretty much what you'd expect from a man-eating vagina film - but it's done well.  There is plenty of gore at male characters privates expense, so prepare to cross your legs a lot.  All in all, Teeth is well made, well executed and well...entertaining?

Hearing 'STARLIGHT' - MUSE

REVIEW: WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY  2 1/2 STARS

With names like John C. Reilly, Jenna Fischer, Tim Meadows and Judd Apatow attached to this film, I really expected more.  The film is a basic send up of the Johnny Cash bio pic 'Walk the Line' and like most Apatow films, starts out ambitious enough.  Reilly is a hoot as the singer who changes with the times from country to rock to easy listening to disco through the years.  Meadows is hilarious as his drug addict drummer and Fischer is fine as well, but the writing fell short less than half way through.  About a half hour too long, what starts out as clever humor becomes a ploy for cheap laughs. 

It's worth a rent if you're a fan of Reilly, but it starts off with the best scences and ends with a flutter.
