Have seen a few movies lately.

Starting with Grandmas Boy which was hilarious. Then Hoodwinked which was a really wild mix of Red Riding Hood and The Usual Suspects. Not up to Pixar animation quality, but the facial animation is top notch and there’s some great characters in it. Great for kids and grown ups alike.

Jackie Chan’s New Police Story was a dissappointing. It’s one of his best series and while the action scenes were terrific, there weren’t enough of them. It’s a simple movie (like most Chan films) that I’d put somewhere in the middle of his catalog. Not bad, I think I was just expecting more.

Last is the Ice Harvest starring John Cusack and Billy Bob Thorton. It’s a story set in the god forsaken winter landscape of Kansas where Cusack and Thorton steal 2 million from a mob boss in order to leave the hole they call home far behind them. It had a few funny parts but the movie left me cold for some reason. It’s a morbid tale really, I thought I”d like it a lot more than I did. At an hour and a half it was the perfect length though. Worth a rental on a rainy day.

Still haven’t seen X3, I hope to rectify that this week.
