The Girl Next Door (2007)

I am a bit torn when it comes to this review. Overall; this movie was touching (made you feel like jumping into the screen and killing someone) and overall great; however I am torn in the amount of detail shown and some of the content displayed to viewers... Let's just say the film borders on kiddy-porn in my opinion.

The movie did a great job getting it's point accorss; and though the acting could have been a bit "better"; it certainly was pulled off with flying colors.

I have to say that very few movies ever really stand out and make feel "enraged" after watching them; but this one did just that... I kept wanting to go and get the magic movie ticket from "The Last Action Hero" so I could jump into this movie and beat some people's asses... it was that dramatic.

Though it will contain some very graphic content, and some disturbing images, it's certainly a film you should watch (just not with the kids).

The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk - This movie was pretty good; but not as good as it could have been. The movie had above-average special effects; but the story line could have used some help.

I felt like the movie went a bit too quick into the main story and they tried to accommodate for it with "flashbacks", then once they got to the point the point was lost because they just tried to do fighting scenes to make up for it.

Overall, I would give this fil 3.5 stars; and only because it will keep your kid in check for a couple hours... Not a bad babysitter rate :)
