Review: Invincible

The true story of Vincent Papale (Mark Wahlberg), a Philadelphia Eagles fan who makes the team during open tryouts.

I love football and I love all the Disney-we overcame the odds-Sports Stories, Remember the Titans, The Rookie, Miracle... Hence, I really enjoyed Invincible. Good Dramady (Drama and Comedy) mixture. In fact, I wish it was a little longer. Anyway, good fun that gears me up for football season.

My favorite parts of the movie:

Mud Football
His love interest, Janet, is a Giants fan
His recovered fumble

4 out of 5 stars.

One is never enough, Part 2 (see I told you)

Walt Disney is filming Unnatural History about a faimly trapped in a History Museum overnight and the exhibits start coming to life. Sound Familiar??? Of course, it does because (say it with me now), One is never enough. I will admit though that Unnatural History is a far superior title to A Night at the Museum.

Why is one never enough?

Armageddon: Deep Impact

Dante's Peak: Volcano

National Treasure: Sahara

Now it's....

Beowulf and Grendel: Beowulf

At least this time, it's indie/art house versus mainstream... poor little indie flick.

The Nativity Story

Brave Project. First impressions look good. Check out at behind the scenes featurette at their website. Opens December 1, 2006 just in time for Christmas.

A Night at the Museum

This looks right up my alley. Very Toy Story, Indian in the Cupboard....except with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney. Website

Review: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Ricky Bobby wants to go fast. He finds trouble when Jean Girard, the French Formula One driver, comes to America to race on the NASCAR circuit.

Good, classic fun with Will Ferrell. Not his best, but still enjoyable. His sons are hilarious and John C. Reilly (a guy you see in tons of movies but never know quite who he is) really stands out as Ricky Bobby's best friend, Cal. I love the cougar and be sure to stay for the credits. Oh, and keep an eye out for Andy Ricter and Molly Shannon.

My favorite parts of the movie:

Ricky Bobby's sons: Walker and Texas Ranger
the prayers to BABY Jesus
Karen the cougar
the credits

4 out of 5 stars
