CINDERELLA MAN

Cinderella Man is the true story of James Braddock, the inspirational boxer who fought during the great depression just so that he could feed his family. Russell Crowe and Renee Zellwegger star in this triumphant Ron Howard film that will leave you wanting more. The film’s cinematography is fantastic, giving you the perfect image of the Great Depression and the acting compliments it perfectly. Paul Giamti plays Braddock’s manager and as always gives both a strong and funny performance. If you haven’t seen this film you should go out and rent it imediately.

THE DUKES OF HAZZARD

Johnny Knoxville and Sean William Scott star as Bo and Luke Duke in the movie version of the popular 1970’s television show “The Dukes of Hazzard.” The story follows the Duke boys as they try to stop Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds) from taking Hazzard County and using it for land development. To do this the boys must disguise themselves as Japanese doctors, drive their car recklessly, and of course, parade their cousin Daisy around in the hsortest of shorts. Could there be a dumber movie? This film is a total waste of time. I absolutely hate car chases in movies and they were the most entertaining part of this film. The acting on Knoxville and Scott’s part was okay, but Jessica Simpson, Burt Reynolds, and Willie Nelson added nothing to this film. I also noticed major errors in the characters of Boss Hogg and Daisy Duke. In the show Boss Hogg was heavy set, but in the film he was very thin. Jessica Simpson may not have been the best choice for Daisy Duke, because the Daisy Duke in the TV show was a brunette. If I were you I would skip this movie.

FANTASTIC FOUR

Though it may not be “fantastic” it is one of the most entertaining superhero films that I have seen. After comic book film dissapointments like “X2: X-MEN UNITED,” “The Hulk,” and “Daredevil” I was expecting Fantastic Four to be a two hour bore-fest of overly stylized action sequences and cheesy catch phrases. I was very wrong. Though not quite to the level of “Batman” or “Spider-man,” Fantastic Four has the perfect blance of action and dialogue to keep the audience’s attention, and actually make them WANT a sequel. The film follows five scientists who gain superpowers after a bizarre experience in a space shuttle. Though four of the team members try to use their powers for good, one decides to take a different path, and the four set out to stop him. If you are a fan of comic books or comic book films you should see this film.
