Eagle Eye. I have a question: just when did D.J. Caruso become Michael Bay? This movie has enough explosions and general mayhem to make the master proud. For what it's worth, Eagle Eye does blow stuff up real good, the performances are generally decent, and it does succeed in getting you to feel somewhat involved. However, in the end it is just another disappointing action film that will not be remembered for long once you leave the theater. Whatever you do, try to avoid paying attention to the story, it is really poorly written.
Ghost Town. This is a movie that is well worth watching. There is some good dialogue and a strong lead performance. Will this be Ricky Gervais' breakthrough in the States? Perhaps. Even if it isn't, he is a funny guy and he brings a great flavor to the film.
Resident Evil: Degeneration. This new Resident Evil film is coming straight to video and does not feature Milla Jovovich. For that matter, it does not feature any actual people at all, it is completely computer animated and actually does not look half bad. The story tells of an inadvertent survivor of the Raccoon City incident.
WWE: Edge - A Decade of Decadence. While my wrestling enjoyment has somewhat flown the coop, I have always enjoyed Edge's matches. I first remember him as part of the Brood with Christian and Gangrel before going on to tag gold with Christian for years. Now he is flying high as a singles competitor in the top tier.
Pulse 3. Here is a title that is sure to sit on shelves for awhile. Considering the lukewarm reception to the first film (a Hollywood remake), I am surprised it got one sequel, much less two. Anyway, I actually enjoyed the flawed second film and look forward to what they do here.
