This weekends movies

Here is a list of the movies I watched this weekend and my thoughts about each one. 

Babylon A.D. - This movie has Vin Diesel transporting a package (girl) to New York City. It happens in the future and is really pretty horrible. Try to make it all of the way through the movie. I dare you...

Death Race - This update of the classic Death Race 2000, establishes new acting lows for Jason Statham. This guy started off real good with the first Transporter movie, but how is he still getting roles. Seriously, is there amore one-sided actor. Oh, maybe Vin Diesel. Some really cool special effects almost make it worthwhile. I said almost.

Moving McAllister - This comedy stars Mila Kunis and Jon Heder and made me laugh almost three times throughout. I mean Rutger Hauer plays her hard-ass uncle and the main character is some noname I have never seen before or since. However, getting to watch Mila Kunis for an hour and a half is almost worth it, Plus Jon Heder is always fun. 

Michael Clayton - Very good. My wife is not a Tilda Swinton fan, however, she was excellent. This film was a joy to watch and held my attention very well. I would definitely recommend it. 

The Assasination of Jesse James -  20 Minutes into this film you completely forget that Brad Pitt is playing Jesse James. Casey Affleck is fantastic. Sam Rockwell is superb, as always. I highly recommend this one, for anyone who wants to watch a very well done piece of movie art.
