Arbusto Goes to the Movies

Rentals

Hannibal Rising - 1.5 of 5. Started off pretty strong as it seemed like it would be suspenseful and creepy. Died right out after that. Nothing mysterious about it. Mediocre acting. A very formulaic movie to boot.

American Dreamz - 2.75 of 5. Slightly amusing but far too obvious mockery/parody of Idol, the President and the "war" - went way over the top. Needed a bit more subtlety, or just a bit of cleverness. The characters were kind of fun. I appreciate Mandy Moore. Is Hugh Grant losing his accent?

Se7en - 4.25 of 5. Very suspenseful and intriguing. I love mysteries like this. I wish they went a little more into the details of the murders.

Casino Royale - 4 of 5. Saw this in theaters over the summer and it's a great movie. It's far less over the top gadgety gizmos that Bond was turning into in the last installments. There was much more story to this and Daniel Craig is awesome.
