A prehistoric epic that follows a young mammoth hunter named D'Leh's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe. When a band of mysterious horse-riding warlords raid the Yaghal camp and kidnaps his heart's desire - the beautiful Evolet along with many others, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters south to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-toothed cats and terror birds.
Two thumbs way up. We loved this movie, the kids loved it too. I only recognized Omar Sharif (Doctor Zhivago) and Cliff Curtis (live free or die hard) but all the actors were great.
Fool's Gold (blu-ray)
Benjamin Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is a deep-sea treasure hunter certain he's onto the find of the century in waters near an island close to Key West owned by a murderous rap star to whom Ben is in debt. Ben's flat broke and recently divorced from Tess (Kate Hudson), his long-time research and diving partner whom he still loves. She's nearby, working as a steward aboard the yacht of Nigel Honeycutt (donald sutherland), a multimillionaire. The rapper (Kevin Hart) has hired a rival treasurer hunter. Can Ben convince Nigel to bankroll his search, convince Tess to work with him, keep the rapper and his thugs at bay, and find a Spanish treasure hidden for centuries and become rich beyond imagination?
Great adventure/comedy that's a bit silly. I always enjoy Matthew and Kate's movies so the fact that they're together in this one is perfect. Not bad eye candy either, oops did I say that out loud?!
Jumper (blu-ray)
A genetic anomaly allows David Rice (Hayden Christensen) to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between "Jumpers" and those who have sworn to kill them. Is everyone close to David in danger? Diane Lane Jamie Bell and Samuel L. Jackson are among the cast.
Cool special effects. Very interesting plot too. We liked this movie very much, I would rent it again.
Get Smart (movie theater)
Bungling secret agent Maxwell Smart, also known as Agent 86 for CONTROL, is on a mission to battle the forces of their evil crime nemesis known as KAOS with his more-competent partner Agent 99, (whose real name is never revealed) at his side. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamed of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23. Smart will do whatever it takes to thwart the latest plot for world domination by KAOS.
Steve Carell (the office, over the hedge), Anne Hathaway (the other side of heaven, becoming Jane) and Dwayne Johnson (the rundown, the game plan) head up the cast.
Very funny as expected. Two thumbs up. It was fun to re-live the good old days when I watched the series as a child (which were re-runs, come on i'm not that old..oops, sorry Mom).
