The Horsemen~ Dennis Quaid plays a distracted father and detective working the case of killers using the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse as their preachy reason for killing.

Its kind of like saw meets.. some religious movie. Quaid is alright in this role but some of the others like Ziyi Zhang are just awful.  Also,I get the feeling the ending was supposed to be this huge twist but it wasnt. Its worth a watch if you want to say..what? come on! He didnt just say that did he?  Its got a lot of holes in it.   :thumbdown:

Not a lot actually happens but there's so many good actors in these films they're hard to to enjoy.

CURE (1997): J-horror.  A detective seeks to solve a series of murders committed by ordinary people, each of whom has come into contact with an amnesiac. Very strange psychohorror taking place largely in the subconscious; nice creepy atmosphere, but it fails to build to a satisfying climax, with the final scene being a particular disappointment.  I really expected to like this more, as it's the kind of thing I usually fall for, hard, and it got very good reviews and recommendations.  3/5

The Day the Earth Stopped (2008) - Two humanoid aliens (both nekkid, one female) come to Earth, along with 666 giant robots.  The female, who puts on a tight tank top, befriends a security guard at the military base she's been taken to.  Together they search for an act of human compassion, to prove we're worthy of continued existence.  This wasn't all that bad for an Asylum movie.  At least I didn't fall asleep during it like I did with the pretentious Hollywood remake, and the acting was at about the same level as well.  At the end we get a bunch of uplifting music that reminded me of the end of Titanic  :teddyr: 3/5.

Hellhounds (2009) - SyFy's latest and greatest example of Imagining Greater.  In ancient times, some guy's fiancee is killed so he goes to hell to retrieve her.  Once that's done, the god of the underworld sends his Hellhounds after him.  Hellhounds are CGI dogs, they look a bit supernatural in some scenes, and like ordinary dogs in others.  "Our weapons have no effect on them!" they exclaim, then in the next scene they kill them very easily with a normal bow and arrow.  Story was uninteresting and predictable, dialogue was stiff and unnatural, acting ranged from passable to poor.  This was directed by Ricky Shroeder, of Silver Spoons fame.  3/5;  as run-of-the-mill a SyFy original as you've ever seen.

The Gumball rally-  Chuck Bail did car chases and car crashes for Hollywood for years so that gives you a good indication of what this film is like.   It doesn't really get going till the 30 minute mark and it's silly , sometimes cleverly sometimes not, in places but all the car stuff is well done and there is alot of it.

Ice age 3~ I'm not a big fan of kids movies but having 3 kids I have seen my fair share and I gotta say I enjoyed this one. I think I laughed more than the kids did.

What doesn't kill you~ two friends growing up in Boston are wannabe gangsters. Its like they were going for good fellas but ended up with a made for tv movie of the week. Boring.

Ice age 3 - I found disappointing. Felt like too many new characters and some of them just p**sed me off. The whole pregancy story I also found extremely annoying. Less fun than the others as well as predictable.

Got a few movies watched this weekend.

Dick Tracy ** out of ****.  It was an alright film, I never read the comic books so I guess that is why I didn't enjoy it as much.  I felt the film took a little too long to towards the climax.

Dog Day Afternoon *** out of ****.  A new favorite of mine.  I really enjoyed the whole film even at times it did seem to drag on.
