Just for kicks I revisted this 1995 B-movie starring Christopher Lambert as a businessman in Japan who finds himself targeted by a ninja cult. Cheesy stuff but it also features a confrontation on a bullet train between a bad-ass kendo teacher and samurai-sword wielding ninjas. It's bloody and ridiculous. (And fun.)
Tom Cruise as real-life would-be Hitler assassinator Claus Von Stauffenberg. *rolls eyes* ... Things wrong with it: 1) Tom Cruise is not a good actor. 2) I bet even Paris Hilton could guess the ending. (Maybe). 3) Not suspenseful. Things right with it: 1) Rest of cast is good. End result? A waste of time.

This was a quirky tale of con-artist brothers with one of them getting too involved with a mark. Great cast: Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, etc. A decent diversion but I'm not surprised it went quickly to DVD (I don't think this got a theatrical release).

Zack And Miri Make A Porno
This was a juvenile male fantasy that is as unromantic as it sounds and only intermittently funny. Justin Long was funny, the rest was much less so. And c'mon, Seth Rogen hooks up with Elizabeth Banks? Only in the movies. This one is better left ignored. Kevin Smith (the writer) is better left ignored. I think he's stuck in eighth grade. He is stupid.
