War of the Worlds
Buy the book!
Fantastic effects and action are bogged down by plot holes and bad ideas. Worth seeing, but be sure to turn your brain off first.

De-Lovely

Really boring for the first 45 minutes or so but it got better. Never really heard of Cole Porter before the movie, just heard that it was pretty good. I think it would've been better if they hadn't mixed in those Cole Porter watching himself
scenes.

Man I loved this movie when we first saw it in theaters. It may be July but it was still hilarious and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Jon Favreu is supposed to have a sequel in the works, but it may be without Will Ferrel.

In Good Company
Get it from Amazon.com!
Great movie that comes really close to being a fantastic one. Maybe I'm just a sap but I was hoping for a little different ending.
Great performances by everyone in the cast. Dennis Quaid is great, Scarlett Johansson is beautiful and wonderful, and Topher Grace is funny and vulnerable. Topher Grace, despite going by the name of Topher, is actually a surprisingly good actor and has transition out of his The 70's Show role pretty easily.

NBA Draft
Man, the NBA Draft flies by compared to the NFL Draft.
Kind of mixed emotions over what's going to happen to CJ Miles. He's a UT commit who claims he will attend Texas if he's undrafted or drafted in the second round. I honestly think coming to school for a year or two would be best for him, but he's made his decision and I hope things work out for the kid.

Chronicles of Riddick
Get it from Amazon.com!
Good action movie that really improved a lot on the last one. Chronicles of Riddick is much easier to watch than Pitch Black was, mainly because much less of the movie is in the dark. Takes a bit off the general feel of the movie, but something that had to be done to make it a mainstream success.

We finally sat down and watched Ray after starting back in early March. Great movie that deserved all the accolades it received.

Elektra

Started off terrible but actually got a little better as it went along. May have actually been better than Daredevil but maybe I just had higher expectations for that one.

Absolutely fantastic. Best movie we've seen in a long time. Wonderful, brutal fight scenes to go with a heartwrenching true story.
I need to find the book by Jeremy Schaap because I've been wanting to check it out too.
