“Gattaca” Movie Review
“Gattaca” Plot Summary
A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.
It’s the little things that tell you you’ve found quality!
I rented this film cold at the video store — and was very pleasantly surprised with a very well done movie. If you don’t know anything else about Gattaca, the less you know, the better. Stop reading this review right now, go watch it, and come back when you’re done!It was after my first viewing of the film that several little details dawned on me:1) The term ‘borrowed ladder’ is a utterly-brilliantly-conceived bit of future slang that carries a *double meaning*. I’m still amazed that the producers didn’t make more of this. Instead, they were content to leave this gem to be discovered by the thinking and missed by the vast masses. I was very definitely impressed. 2) As I was explaining the film to my wife, it occurred to me in mid-explanation that this is really a film that has to do with what is properly called =eugenics=; one of the things the Nazis were about. Then my mind wandered to word etymologies: I recalled that the name ‘Eugene’ = ‘well born.’ And then I realized…!!!3) It’s interesting the extent to which so many of the characters in the film *didn’t* live up to their genetic destiny, one way or another.4) Because I hadn’t seen any previews, I had no immediate reference for where the name ‘Gattaca’ had come from. And then I suddenly realized…!!!5) It wasn’t until I watched the movie the second time that I caught the effects with the title sequence letters…Now I had figured out by this time that there were likely to be other intriguing little details I’ve missed, so I was fascinated to read from another reviewer here about the boy Vincent falling with a toy rocket in his hand. I wonder what else is in there?All in all, this is a very well written, tightly woven movie. Seen cold, with no real prior knowledge of the film, it came off as a tremendous science-fiction SUSPENSE THRILLER. There were several scenes that just had me climbing the walls with tension. Fabulous job!And I’m not the only one who thinks so. When my WIFE says she wants to see a SCIENCE FICTION movie for the SECOND TIME… well, I don’t think THAT has EVER happened before!

“50 First Dates” Movie Review
“Fifty First Dates” Plot Summary
Henry Roth is a man afraid of commitment up until he meets the beautiful Lucy. They hit it off and Henry think he’s finally found the girl of his dreams, until he discovers she has short-term memory loss and forgets him the very next day.
Very sweet feel good film
I will admit right now, I am not an Adam Sandler fan. However, I found this film to be surprisingly enjoyable. It is sweet and cute in places, and while certainly not a masterpiece it is above decent. A vast majority of the jokes work here, and that was great to see. The camera work was good making good use of the gorgeous scenery, and the soundtrack was lovely. I had little problem with the performances; Adam Sandler gives of his more likable performances, and Drew Barrymore is the persona of sweetness as his love interest. Out of the supporting performances, Rob Schneider guarantees a number of laughs, and Sean Astin comes close to stealing the film in places. But it is the chemistry of Sandler and Barrymore that shines through despite the flaws that mar it from being more than enjoyable
While Dan Ackroyd has a small appearance, it is sadly one that isn’t particularly memorable. The plot isn’t exactly original, and certainly isn’t the most interesting one ever. And the script does have its ups and downs, and is predictable. Overall though, it is a sweet feel good film. It has its flaws, but it is a brave attempt at a romantic comedy, and mainly because of the chemistry of the two leads it mostly succeeds. 7/10 Bethany Cox

“Duplex” Movie Review
“Our House (Duplex)” Plot Summary
A young couple has a chance to move into a gorgeous duplex in the perfect New York neighborhood. All they have to do is bump off the current tenant, a cute little old lady. add synopsis
DeVito does it again
From the twisted mind of Danny DeVito comes this story in the style of ‘War of the Roses’. Here, a nice NY couple finally find their dream home only to discover that they have a built in tenant. Not exactly what they were looking for but it really can’t be that bad can it? The little old lady that lives upstairs turns out to be a nightmare and a half. In a variety of scenarios, most comical and some just plain, outright strange, the nice couple turn into psycho landlords and the nice old lady turns into the crazy bat upstairs. In the end, the twist comes as a true surprise. A hilarious, laugh out loud movie, this was really enjoyable and a must watch. DeVito has done it again and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!!!8/10
