Really, I do - it was the director who filmed this piece of wannabe artsy crap and the team that came up with the idea. They killed 2 hrs of my life and I want it back.
The twist that's been hyped on tv and online is really easy to figure out, altho the trailer may make you think otherwise. At one point, Parent Trap jokes were being made among us.
The 'killer' and the point of him is retarded. Altho Lohan had no problem playing a crackhead stripper. The 'torture' scenes were mainly just bloodiness.
It tried to be artsy with the colors blue and red, but it was just waaaaaaay too over the top.
It ran on for waaaay too long too - we were yelling at the screen for it to just end.
Yeah, it was that bad.
Skip this one and go see something much more worth your time and money.

The Simpsons Movie
I thought it would be dumb and it honestly felt like an extended episode, however right from the beginning it was very clever, taking full use of being in theaters.
If ya ever watched the show and liked it at some point in it's 18 yr run, you'll like the movie just well.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Kevin James (The King of Queens) is Chuck, a widowed father of 2 and one of Brooklyn's bravest firefighters who recently is struggling to get his pension changed from his dead wife to his kids.
Adam Sandler is Larry, Chuck's best friend on the force and your typical playboy.
After telling Chuck he owes him for saving his life on the job, Larry reluctantly agrees to pose as his 'life partner' in order to help Chuck fool the gov't and make sure his pension is safe. However, once a curious inspector shows up, they get their lawyer, Jessica Biel to help em out.
Some might think this movie portrays gays poorly, others will think it's too tolerant and pro-gay.
Honestly, I didnt really plan on seeing this one, not wanting to sit thru an hour and a half of gay jokes, but it was actually pretty funny and entertaining.
Steve Buscemi, Dan Akroid, and Rachel Dratch have small roles.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I didnt read the books until after I saw the 4th movie. Having read the books and now seeing this one... I'm a bit disappointed.
They cut a ton of the extra plot lines out, changed around things that happen (one of them being a pretty big deal), and threw in things from the book for the sake of them being in there, but never really explained them. Watching it with several coworkers that hadn't read the books, they liked it for what it was, but admitted that they could tell there had been stuff cut from the story and wished certain things had been explained more...
Go see if ya've seen the others, but if ya read the books, you'll be a bit disappointed...

Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4)
Before I start, I have not seen any of the previous Die Hard installments. But that's okay because this one can clearly stand on it's own.
Bruce Willis reprises his famed role as NY Detective John McClaine. When he agreed to escort computer hacker Matt Farrell (Justin Long - the 'I'm a Mac' guy) into custody for Homeland Security, he didnt know what he was getting himself into. Finding themselves in the middle of a Firesale it's a race against time to shut the terrorist mastermind down before Armaggedon happens in the US. Oh and did I mention they have his daughter now too?
It was an entertaining action flick with an action plot (i hate action movies that are all action and no plot). it seemed like it dragged on for a lil bit towards the end though but the all the stunts were pretty cool.
Definately more of a guy movie, but if it's his turn to pick, you'll still be entertained.

Transformers
In a summer of big blockbuster sequels, this will probably be *the* summer blockbuster for the year. Seriously, who wouldn't wanna see cool cars transform into giant robots and fight each other over mankind?
Although the storyline wasn't much and was fairly simple, the special effects were awesome! It's your typical Michael Bay film - the romantic storyline, the kid that leads people to safety, explosions and things blowing up... but it's all very entertaining!
I'd say it's a pretty solid film for the whole family... well maybe not mom, but for the kids, young and old and young at heart. Especially if ya grew up with Optimus Prime and Megatron back in the 80s. Also, the pop culture references of today are quite amusing, ie: references to Ebay, the internet, xm radio, etc... you also see plenty of the sponsors' logos too. The new Chevy Camero and the Pontiac Solstice are pretty sweet looking too!
Be sure not to miss this one this 4th of July weekend!
