Default The Official: MOVIE REVIEW THREAD

Hey guys (and gals[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] )

I thought I would start an official movie review thread so we can talk and discuss movies that are out and you want to give a review of it or upcoming movies that you can't wait to see..

I'll try and post movies that will be coming out every weekend. So if you've seen a good movie lately or even one that we should not waste our money on come in and let us know.

SECONDHAND LIONS





OVERVIEW

Michael Caine and Robert Duvall play the eccentric and wealthy great-uncles of a shy young teenager (Haley Joel Osment). The men care for him over a summer in Texas during the 1960s, when his unreliable mother (Kyra Sedgwick) drops him off, regaling the boy with unbelievable and impressive stories of their past, seen in flashbacks.

THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS




OVERVIEW

Darin Hill (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a smooth New York ad executive, loses his job and has nowhere to turn. His luck changes, though, when he discovers he's going to receive a nice inheritance from a wealthy aunt who recently died. But when he returns to his hometown in Alabama to collect the cash, he uncovers the catch: First he must organize a successful gospel choir. That's easier said than sung, because he can't find any talented singers … until he meets sultry jazz singer Lily (Beyoncé Knowles).

Haha was it that bad? I know that dialogue and plot will be filth, but I heard there is plenty of violent action.

If you're looking for "plenty of violence with no plot" I'd suggest doing a tour in Iraq before I'd suggest watching Death Race...
