Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

No Linda Hamilton or drunk Edward Furlong. Nick Stahl is in Furlong’s place as the new future leader of the world who must combat a girlie terminator that can flip her legs around to strangle you with them. Fancy. I enjoyed it. It was total summer fluff action movie....

Spirited Away

When a 10-year-old girl moves into a new neighborhood, she finds herself in another world filled with witches and monsters. This won an Oscar for best animated film of the year. It’s anime and for those that know, I hate anime. Yet, I still watched it because it was...

Transporter

About Schmidt

From the director of Election comes this movie about Jack Nicholson finally playing someone his own age. His wife dies and he realizes how little he has done with his life. This isn’t your typical Jack Nicholson movie, which is what disappointed my dad. He thought it was going...
