Hollow Man
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth Shue   
Rating: Triple Thumbs Up!!!

This a great movie, from the opening scene, until the credit roll, we were all into the movie!! Just think about it, if you could be invisible what would you do? This movie shows exactly what Bacon would do!! Its about a team of scientist who are hired by the government to patton a top secret weapon. They begin their study on lab animals. Until they decide to begin testing humans, and things go terribly wrong!!! Until next time we will see you at the movies !!    Gary and Larry


X-Men   
Starring: Hally Berry, Patrick Stewart   
Rating: Quadruple Thumbs Up!!

We may be partial on this review, because we were big X-men fans as children!! The movie is packed with action, and there is even drama and comedy thrown in by a very strong all star cast!! This may be more of a guys movie, especially if you are into death and lots of destruction, but we suggest taking a chance by taking your girlfriends, what's the worst that can happen!! Have fun, and we will see you at the movies!!    Gary and Larry!!


The Patriot   
Starring: Mel Gibson    
Rating: Quintuple Thumbs Up!!!!!

We have to say for the record, this is a great movie, and not just because we are in it!! The movie is the story of Benjamin Martin, a man who is forced into war when the British invade America. We promise you will laugh, and cry. This movie hits on every emotion you have!! Its the feel good movie of the summer!! You can look for us in the last battle of the movie, when the British chase the Americans over the big hill, we are right beside General Burwell, you see us six times!! We don't have to use ourselves to sell this movie, trust us it sell itself!! Until next time we will see you at the movies!!  Gary and Larry!!


What Lies Beneath
Starring: Harrison Ford, Michele Pfeiffer,   
Rating: Quadruple Thumbs Up!!

We suggest everyone go out and see this movie. If you love nonstop suspense, then this is the movie for you!!  Ford plays a cheating husband who tries to hide the affair from his wife played by Pfeiffer. When his former girlfriend refuses to be silenced, even from the grave, things start getting  very interesting around the house.  We are sure that you will agree that this movie draws you in and keeps you there until the credits roll!! Until next time, we will see you at the movies!!!  Gary and Larry!!


Scary Movie   
Starring: The Wayans Brothers      
Rating: Quintuple Thumbs Up!!!!  LOL

There is nothing to say, except that if you don't laugh hysterically when you see this movie, then you need to seek help!! We laughed until we cried!! This movie spoofs all of the horror movies you have ever seen before, and it does it very well!! The theater was full when we saw it, and the laughs never stopped!! If your feeling down, or just need a good laugh, then this movie is exactly what you need!! Have fun, we did!! Until next time, we will see you at the movies!!   Gary and Larry


Bless the Child    
Starring: Jimmy Smits and Kim Bassinger   
Rating: Quadruple Thumbs Up!!

We have to begin by saying that Kim Bassinger gives the best performance we have see in her career thus far!! She plays a psychiatric nurse, who is forced into motherhood, when her younger sister shows up after 3 years of being a runaway, and leaves a one week old baby on her doorstep!! This turns out to be not just any child, but a chosen  child! Its isn't until 6 years later, that evil comes looking for the child!! Bassinger must do whatever she can to save this child, including seeking the help of detective Smitts, but it looks like its going to take a power higher that his to help this little girl!! This is a great movie although it does touch on religion and views on heaven and hell. Until next time, we will see you at the movies!  -- Gary and Larry 


Gossip 
Starring: James Marsden, Joshua Jackson   
Rating: Quadruple Thumbs Up!

We really got into this movie, if you are the kind of person who likes to figure out the movie before the end, then this is a movie for you!! The basic plot of the movie begins when 3 friends decide to spread a rumor around their campus, and monitor how fast the gossip spreads, and how much it is changed around. Keep in mind they do not have any regard for they people who are affected by the rumor. This movie delivers great performances by the young cast, as well as a surprise ending that will leave you stunned. Its a must see, and you might think twice before you pass on the latest gossip you hear!!


"U-571"
Starring: Matthew McConahay, Bill Paxton, and Harvey Kietel  
Rating: Quadruple Thumbs Up

This is definitely a GUYS movie, but women will enjoy it, not to be sexist to all the ladies!! Its a great movie filled with submarines, explosives, and lots of machine guns!! This movie had a slow start, but it picks up fast and never slows down until the credits roll. Its about  a 1942 navy ship and the men aboard, who were sent on a mission to retrieve crucial data and equipment to help the Americans win the war against the German forces! The journey shows you the hell these men went through out there, and remembers those who didn't return!!  It is based on a true story and it was definitely one worth telling! If you are looking for a feel good movie with a lot of action, we suggest you buy your tickets now for U-571!!


Where the Heart is
Starring: Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman and Sally Field
Rating: 2 Thumbs up!!

This movie just never seemed to go anywhere. You had way to many plots to try to follow, and it took forever for the plot to unfold. This could have definitely been the lifetime movie of the week. If you are going to see it because your a Sally Field fan, don't, she is only in the movie 5 minutes. We must say that Natalie and Ashley both gave great performances, but it was still not enough to save the movie!! Wait for video on this one!!


Gladiator
Starring:  Rustle Crow, and Jaqulin Phoenix  
Rating: 4 thumbs up!!

This is the best action movie I have seen in a long time, and for all you ladies, don't worry there is great love story tied in also!! The movie follows the rise and fall of the roman empire, and shows the courage of the man who stood alone and faced Caesar himself. We must say there are a few place in the middle of the movie where it does drag on a little, but with all the action and suspense you hardly even notice! This is a must see, go out and enjoy it!!


Gone in 60 Seconds
Starring: Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie   
Rating: Triple thumbs Up!!

Although the movie had a slow start, when it picked up, it really picked up! It was non stop action, and that's what we like! If you love car crashes, high jumps, and speed racing, you have to see this movie!! Nicholas Cage delivers his best performance since Conair! He plays a legendary retired car thief, who is forced out of retirement to save the life of his younger brother who has followed in his footsteps and ran into a lot of trouble!! Angelina Jolie plays Cages former girlfriend, who he gave up when he went into retirement, let just say sparks still fly after 6 years of not seeing her!! This is a must see for car lovers everywhere!! Until next time we will see you at the movies!! 


Take Two!
- Movie Reviews by Twins, Larry & Gary Lane


Movie Review Rating System

Single Thumbs Up = Wait for the Video
Double Thumbs Up = Try to see a matinee, but it's not a total loss at full price
Triple Thumbs Up = It actually had a plot, and we didn't mind sitting through the movie
Quadruple Thumbs Up = Take a Friend, take your lover, take your mom, or your brother, its good movie to watch and enjoy
Quintuple Thumbs Up = A rare gem indeed: a movie so good, we will pay to see it again!!



The Skulls
Starring: Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker

Rating: Triple Thumbs Up

Here we have another teen movie, but instead of our usual love twist, we have a twist of the dark side of college fraternity life. A young man from the wrong side of the tracks (Jackson) is lured into the fast pace life of money, women, and fast cars!! But he has to sell his soul to the leaders of the skulls in order to get it!! The movie has a good plot, but you seem to lose your self in the middle when Jackson decides he wants out, its very predictable of how its going to end!! There are several memorable scenes, so we suggest if your first choice sells out, go see the skulls!!


Erin Brokovich
Starring: Julia Roberts

Rating: Quintuple Thumbs Up

What can we say, we have been with several groups of friends and seen it twice already!! It is based on a true story of how a ordinary secretary stumbles across a major cover-up by the Company PG&E that they are contaminating the town near by, and causing a string of problem that stretch from nose bleeds to tumors, to breast cancer!! This is a positive movie, and Julia Roberts delivers an Oscar performance. We have no doubt this will be come her 4th movie to top 100 Million!


Rules of Engagement
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones

Rating: Double Thumbs Up

This movie had the potential to be so much better, we start out with an action packed opening, then we fall into 2 hours of long drawn out dialogue, and end up with a very predictable ending!! To sum that up for you, in most movies where the star of the movie is on trial 99% of the time they get off, the same falls true for (Jackson) as well. He is a very highly decorated marine sent on a mission to protect an American embassy in the middle east that is under attack. When he gets his men in position, he must make a crucial decision, after losing 5 marines already, he gives the order to fire on the crowd below, even though there are women and children mixed in with the gunmen!! He has to bring old friend and former combat partner (Jones) out of retirement to defend him. What follows is a trial longer than the OJ Simpson trial!! Try to catch it on a matinee and save 3 bucks!


Final Destination
Starring: Devon Sawa and Kerr Smith

Rating: Triple Thumbs Up

This movie had an awesome 1st hour, it was full of action and suspense, but then it got cheesy. Its about 6 teenagers who are flying off to there spring break, but for some reason or another, they are all thrown off the plane that ends up crashing!! But death comes after them for cheating him!! He start picking them off one by one! This movie is not a total loss, there were several scenes where the whole audience jumped!! But it lost a lot during hour two!! Be prepared for a Final Destination 2.


American Psycho
Starring: Christian Bale and Jared Leto

Rating: Single Thumbs Up

This was one of the worst movies ever. It has everything from bad acting right down to the stupid ending!! Its about a New York Yuppie by day and killer by night!! This was the longest 2 hours of our life. He kills everything from beautiful New York business women to drunks in alleyways. This movie just goes on and on with no end in site! Several people walked out!! Something told us to go with them, but oh well live and learn!!!


Hanging Up
Starring: Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa Kudrow

Rating: Triple Thumbs Up

This movie is the family version of the 1st wives club!! The 3 actresses obviously work very well together, but again the movie just seems to start dragging itself out in the middle! You basically have 3 sisters, (Ryan) the middle daughter takes the brunt of taking care of her aging sick father, (Keaton) the oldest sister, is president of her own magazine that is named after her, and (Kudrow) is dating all the wrong men and always running off to different places!! It is very apparent from the beginning there are a lot of hang-ups in this family!! There are several emotional scenes in the movie, and it does make you want to call your family, just to say hello when you get home!! If it just wouldn't have taken so long to get to that great ending, it could have been so much better!!


Big Mama's House
Starring: Martin Lawrence and Nia Long

Rating: Quadruple Thumbs Up

If you need a good laugh, this is the movie for you! Martin Lawrence delivers his funniest performance yet. He plays an FBI agent who has to go undercover as a 300lb black woman to catch a bank robber, and what follows is two hours of nonstop laughing!! Nia Long plays big mamas granddaughter, and she just happens to be the bank robbers girlfriend. This movie has your basic love story tied in with a lot of laughs, this movie is a must see for all ages!! Until next time, we will see you at the movies!!


Mission Impossible 2
Starring: Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton

Rating: Quintuple Thumbs Up

This was an awesome movie, it has something for everyone. Its full of action, laughs, and there is even a little drama thrown in for good measure. We thought that this sequel was better than part 1. This is going to be the summer's first blockbuster, but the competition is going to be thick this season as to which movie will gross the most overall. Tom Cruise plays special agent (Ethan Hunt) which picks up from where MI1 left off, but we are introduced to a new leading lady, newcomer Thandie Newton(Beloved) delivers an excellent performance as the bad girl who makes a change for the best!! She holds her own against Mr. Cruise up on the big screen!!
