Over the past couple of months I’ve seen a few movies in the theater. Here’s what I think of them:
Against the Ropes – Meg Ryan plays a boxing promoter. The film is adequate. To my untrained eye, the boxing sequences were good, and the plot isn’t as predictable as I thought it would be.
Hellboy – I’d never heard of the comic book this movie was based on. Some good action & effects sequence, but the plot was somewhat thin. Ron Perlman does a very good job in the title role.
Walking Tall – I went to this movie expecting some mindless entertainment. It lived down to my expectations. Some fun mayhem, but nothing that really stood out.
Starsky & Hutch – I never really watched the original TV series, so I had to judge the movie on its own. And the movie on its own is very funny. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson really make a good comedic pair. And it even had a plot.
Of the four movies, Starsky & Hutch is the only one I will probably ever bother watching again in the future. The rest were an entertaining way to kill a couple of hours, but not really memorable.
