The Butterfly Effect
Synopsis: A young man (Kutcher) struggling with the psychological effects of sublimated childhood memories devises a technique of traveling back in time to inhabit his childhood body, but he finds that every trip back has unintended results on his present self, leading him to travel back again and again, trying to repair the damage that he's only making worse and worse.
I have always loved Ashton's acting, but I'm liking him even more because this is a step up from his usual comediac roles and shows people how good of an actor he really is and can do more then just comedy, so that's one thing I love about this movie.
This wasn't one of my favorite Ashton films though, like I already said the acting was great, not just from Ashton, but every other charcter in that movie, but the plot is a little shaky to me. There are some non-reailty movies I hate and some I don't hate, but The Butterfly Effect would have to be in the middle. It was a really intresting movie and I was focused on the movie from begining to end, but the movie was so, so confusing. Sometimes I would get so confused and loose what's happening in the movie.
Overall, I would say it's a rentable movie, but nothing to waste your money on if you wanted to buy it. I give the movie a C-.
"Catwoman"
Synopsis: Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry), a woman who can’t seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wildcat, she’s dangerous, elusive and untamed. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman, who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city.
Review-Walking into this movie I thought I was gonna hate it and eventually walk out....not what happened.I found this movie to be underappreciated and a great action flick.Having said that,I actually liked this movie.I liked the graphics,the story,and most of all Halle Berry who did an excellent job of portraying Catwoman.But now lets get to the bad points.Yes,soome of the diolage was unbelievable and the relationship between Patience and the cop could have had some more time but other than the movie was great and I totally recommend seeing it.

I did like Catwoman and I stand by my rating.And if you havent seen it I suggest keeping your mouth shut.
I refer to everyone as kids, regardless of their true age. I think I picked it up from Letterman, nasty habit, I know. 😕
Anycrap, if either of you were posting your own synopses, I wouldn't have questioned your collective validity. Besides, how is one supposed to take your view on a movie seriously when you can't even explain how the movie played out according to you, and not the press release of the synopsis that's featured on most newspaper sites, as well as Moviefone.com.
To each their own, I suppose.
"The Village"
Synoposis-Set in rural Pennsylvania in 1897, this is the story of the small village of Covington (population 60) surrounded by a woods inhabited by a race of "mythical creatures," and the romance that blossoms between Kitty (Greer), the daughter of the town's leader (Hurt), and Lucius (Phoenix), a young man who questions the policy of keeping Covington's citizens completely confined to the village.
Review-Director M.Night Shyamalan proves himself once again to be a master storyteller and director.This movie is alot like signs.It gives you glimpses of the creatures but doesnt actually show what they are until the end and relys more on the story and the characters than the actual suspense itself.And fans of twist endings dont this is your kind of movie.The ending was very very good and the twist in the middle where good and very sought out and unexpected.I totally recommend this movie to everyone and you wont be waisting your money.
"The Village"-5/5

"Harry and Kumar go to White Castle"
Synoposis-That asian dude from American Pie and that Idian dude from Dude Wheres my car set out on a quest on a Friday night to find the perfect burger.But what started out as innocent late night eating turned into a wild road trip.
Review-I really enjoyed this movie.Ive been a fan of John Cho since he did the tv sitcom "Off Center" a year ago.I laughed very hard through this wild,crude and rude teen comedy and was grossed out by some of Hijinks these guys got into.All and all I really recommed this movie for good teen comedy 🙂
Rating-4/5
"Escape from Alcatraz"
Synoposis-In this 1979 escape movie Clint Eastwood plays Frank Morris a ex-convict who is sent to Alcatraz after breaking out of various other prisons.Alacatrz is said to be a prison where none can escape but all that changes when Morris arrives.
Review-You know I had a really good time watching this movie.Its a real nail-biter filled with tension and suspense from beginning to end.Its interesting to see how the plot unfolds and it takes you into the most heavily confined prison in that time.Clint Eastwoods performance was very good and he doesnt have alot of diolage in the film but his characters so interesting and mysterious thats there really no need for diolage.Naturally I didnt think I was going to enjoy this film but I ended up likeing it and I really recommend it for fans of those escape movies.
"Escape from Alcatraz"-5/5
What made ya want to rent "Escape from Alcatraz"? It's actually a personal favorite.
English: "Now there's only two reasons why you didnt sit on that step next to me. Either you too scared boy or you just hate niggers. What is it boy, you too scared?"
Frank: "Nah, I just hate niggers."
Classic..lol.
I'm about to review "Signs" in my thread. 👽
"Anchorman:The Legend of John Burgandy"
Synopsis: Set in the 70s and sees a local news anchorman with perfect hair and an inflated ego (Ferrell) who believes he is ready for a national network job falling in love with a cutthroat feminist reporter (Applegate) also out to further her career and who threatens his job.
Review-My winning streak with movies ended tonight when I walked into "Anchorman".Right of the bat I have to say I hardly laughed throughout this whole film.The jokes were crude rude jokes that werent even funny.Most of the comedy was focused on Will Ferrell acting like a fool saying bad jokes.I usually like Will Ferrell to and I feel that he wasted himself starring in this movie that he wrote.It almost looks like he was trying to bring up his old SNL humor which didnt work for this film.All an All I wasted my money and hoped for a good comedy but instead I got Anchorman.
"Anchorman"-2/5
All do respect I agree with you on "Escape from Alcatraz", its a good movie. But I gotta tell ya I disagree with your I, Robot rating. I would give the film a 2/5. Mostly because its about a guy who doesnt like robots and hes a cop...predictable plot and ending...Robotics seemed unrealistic, characters were flat especially Will Smith's character. His attitude toward robots just didnt seem believable. And there was NO plot to develop through out the movie...it was horrible.
