Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I am not sure of the title of this movie. But I enjoyed it. Great story. Some of the stunts were pretty far fetched for an older Indiana Jones, but it was still fun. And Shia Lebuffy boy did an interesting job as Jones's offspring. I think Indy's romantic interest was a trip. I don't remember right this minute which one she was in, I'll have to check, but hopefully she wasn't the annoying one in the second Jones movie. I liked the first and the third installations of this movie, and the fourth now too. I did not care that much for the 3rd, though, of course, I have seen it a few times. Hope to see this one a few times too.

Redbelt
I saw this movie with my brother. My brother lives in San Jose and he was visiting for mother's day I think. This was a cool movie. I think Mamet wrote and directed it. The plot fit together pretty well and it delt with macho fighting issues, but also creative ideas and doing things for the right reasons which can be really hard at times. I liked the ending, though it did seem a little bit unreal. The main actor did a great job. There were some parts that were a bit unworked up. The lady running into the guys truck and going in to do the right thing, yet she's a drug addict, and a lawyer. But I guess complex characters are ok. I'll take them over any high school storyline anyday. It was a great movie to see with my brother.

The Fortress of the Forbidden Kingdom
I enjoyed this movie. It was funny and fun, full of action. I was not going in expecting much and did not know much about the film. I like going to movies without expectations, then I can be pleasantly surprised. I especially liked the Monkey King. Who wouldn't like that idea.

Forgetting Sarah Silverman
Great movie. Very funny. Especially liked the puppet vampire opera part of it. Very well put together film. I laughed a whole bunch. It was great to see this guy as the main character. He reminds me of Judd Reinhold.

Shine Down On Me
Rolling Stones documentary showing a performance in New York. These guys can still rock. It was cool to see the young interviews with these guys cute in with present day oldness. Just goes to show, getting older is the best option.

Miss Pettigrow Lives for a Day
I saw this with my mom. There just wasn't any other movie I thought she would enjoy. I really did not like it that much at all. A big pile of crap. Only one ray of sunshine was the romance between Pettigrow and her fellow. But the other romance kind of overshadowed theirs, louder, younger, and lamer romance between the starlit and her piano player. My mom told me after, that she just wanted to get up and leave during the film. She said she's picking the movie next time.

Jumper
I don't remember a thing about this movie. I think I might have bought this ticket, then gone to another movie. Sort of jumped to another theatre. I have a stub for it for 3/19/08. I wonder what I saw instead? I'll have to rent this one. I usually like sci-fi fantasy stuff like this.
