After watching this film I had to get me ears checked from all the pointless screams of Marlee Matlin. Take about cheap suspense, bad storyline, and one of the worst twists in movie history.

Martin Scorsese's portrayal of Howard Hughes is by far one of the best biographies I have seen on the big screen. Leonardo DiCaprio is brilliant with his on-screen transition into the later, more crazed years of Hughes' life. Although this movie displayed the known historical background of Howard Hughes and his rise in the aviation world, I would love to see a movie based on his involvement in the Gemstone Files of Bruce Roberts.

It is a typical but very intense government conspiracy thriller that delivers the mystery without question, until of course you realize that Donald Sutherland is in it. Charlie Sheen plays the perfect arrogant patsy a la Wall Street.

I think I have a soft spot for any comedy to come out of the 80s. But to be quite honest, Real Genius is more than that, it's a good film in its own right. Val Kilmer heads a pack of really hip nerds to the top of the science echelon of the famed MIT. The comedy is as brilliant as the characters and the ensuing revenge is worth the entire hour and a half of preceding foreplay.

It's not a new concept to the science fiction genre, but this time travel film is by far the best at creating a sense of believability through its documentary-like cinematography. The actual science behind the theory unravels the mystery of moving through space and time and the ultimate consequences on the physical body and present surrounding world.

I never quite understood what this movie was about besides Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie having sex. I get the title, but was this movie really necessary?

Somehow, I always associate Wesley Snipes with movies that fall just under the cuff of the Hollywood elite (aka he's a B movie star), but this one left enough mystery to keep me interested. The concept alone is thrilling and somewhat ripped from the headlines, making it more believable. A definite must-see.

I guess I didn't see the on-screen chemistry that led to the development of Hollywood's latest power couple. It was a bit more on-screen friction than anything and I think all the hype ruined the movie. Good action, weak story, weaker romance.

Will Smith proves why he was king of the summer blockbusters in I,Robot. Aside from some great action, the storyline was just as good, even though we've heard the futuristic scenario many times before.

I am not a big fan of animated movies, but Ice Age was fun. I don't think I will ever understand Hollywood stars' obsession with bringing animated characters to life with their golden voices but what can I say, that's Hollywood egos for you.
