Starsky & Hutch |
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are the leads, with Snoop Dog and
cameos by the original Starsky and Hutch. Entertaining, but as
a rental. Alison and I paid $17.50 to see it at the Regal. |

Hidalgo |
Viggo Mortensen is a quiet long distance horse racing cowboy/indian,
first time we've seen him outside Lord of the Rings. Adventure,
humor, compassion mixed into one movie. Saw with Alison at the
Regal. |

American Pie 3 - American Wedding (unrated) |
Rental - 3rd, and I think, last of the series. They didn't/weren't
able to cast all the guys and gals from the first two. Although
Alison said that I laughed hard enough for a heart attack, it
wasn't nearly as good as the first two, in my opinion. |

Shanghai Knights |
Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson team up once again for a western/Chinese
comedy that takes place largely in England - yes, that's part
of the humor. Alison loved it. Went to the Regal for this one. |

The Good Girl |
We watched this Jennifer Aniston rental with the Troemel's -
and were slightly underwelmed. Kristin weighed in with the fact
that even though is wasn't the best movie - it stays in the back
of your mind. Hmmmm. Slow - sometimes uncomfortable. |

John Q |
I caught this Denzel Washington movie on cable, and found it
entertaining. This was the movie of a hard working low income
black family who's son needed a heart transplant and he fought
the beurocracy at gun point to save his son. |

Harry Potter

I Spy |
Alison and I went to the movies with Kristin and Lenny in Pittsburgh.
The movie was entertaining, but it was NOT the I Spy from Robert
Culp, Bill Cosby days. The movie didn't quite meet my expectations. |

Sum Of All Fears |
Rental - Tom Clancy novel turned movie, but this was no conversion
of the book to the screen. Ben Affleck is our new Jack Ryan,
and will likely lead the character in the next string of movies.
Morgan Freeman also did a great job in the movie. Exciting, to
say the least. Thought provoking in terms of nuclear terrorism
on our soil. |

Red Dragon |
Alison and I saw this at the Regal Cinema. The prequel to Silence
of the Lambs, it is scary, a bit perverted, and keeps you on

Hanibal now. |

The Bourne Identity |
We read the book by Robert Ludlum LONG ago, and couldn't remember

Star Wars - Episode

of this episode to previous and next episodes, but still well
done. |

Ocean's

Spy Games |
We rented this one because of Robert Redford and Brad Pitt -

naked back muscles. |

Scott watched this on a trip to San Francisco. I would have given
