How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days

This is a cutsey chic flic. I can usually dig these since they've usually got some pretty funny points. However, this one does not give you anything new or anything clever. Even the dialogue is predictable.

The two main characters (not going to bother with names) makes bets with co-workers for their jobs. The bets are complete opposites (I can get any woman to love me/I can make any man hate me). Of course, they end up doing the bets on each other. Movie ends now.

Nothing funny. Nothing new from the formula. Acting is pretty average.

1.5 shrubs of 5. Don't bother unless you're a complete sap.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Not worth seeing unless you want to make fun of it.

The movie is WWII eraish but it seems futurish. Gwen Paltrow is a reporter. Jude Law is your hero, Sky Captain. Places all over the world are invaded by big robots and it's Sky Captain to the rescue.

It's a highly predictable action type movie. Lots of special affects. The film affects are really good but the plot is really dumb. You know who's going to win. You know who's going to get the girl. What you can figure out is why he gets the girl or what the girl is doing in the movie. Paltrow's part is completely unnecessary. There is no point to her role. It's a forced romance. And forget her stupid camera!

The acting isn't bad. There's just nothing to work with. It's a dumb story from the outset.

Angelina Jolie can't even save the movie. She's not in it long enough and she's wearing far too much. There's back story there but they never tell you anything. Why does Jolie have the eye patch? Can I have the eye?

I give it 1.75 shrubs out of 5. You'll be happy when it's done.
