The Latest movies I've seen

COLLEGE- A mix between "Road Trip" and "Superbad" in story only. This doesn't even come close to "Road Trip", so you know it's no "Superbad". Worse than a straight to DVD teen sex movie and that's bad, not Superbad. Grade: D

THE MUMMY:TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR- The first one had it's Indaina jones moments and some good times. The second one had some ridiculous, but good times. Over the top, but some good fun. This one is just plain stupid! If you didn't like anything about the first two, then don't even bother with this one, because those are top notch action films to this pile of crap. Grade: C-

STEP BROTHERS- When I reviewed "Semi-Pro" I mentioned to look for this film, because it teams Farrel up with the same team from "Anchorman" and "Talladega Nights". This film is crude and has some good times, but it's not a great comedy by any means. It get's kinda lame towards the end when they are friends. A rental for sure. Grade: C+

HAROLD AND KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTAMO BAY- This is a total rehash of the first movie which has become a cult classic. Same formula and even Doogie Howser is in this one. It has some good sterotypical jokes and that's really it. If you liked the first one then you'll tolerate this episode. Grade: C

X FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE- I've never been into the series or the first movie. It was all kinda way too sci-fi for me. I like the unknown or supernatural up until it just twists and turns until you have no idea what just happened or what you're watching. That was the first movies problem. This movies problem is that it's too normal and not enough sci-fi. I did like this one slightly better though. This plot is pretty straight ahead with a missing FBI agent that Mulder get's called into investigate with a man that claims that he has visions of the crime. It turns into more of do you believe and mystery than the unknown crazy stuff. It's not bad, but not that much of a story either. Rent it. Grade: C
