America's Sweethearts

It is always a trial for a non-dog person to visit a home where a dog lives, especially when it is, as Kevin (Macauley Culkin) from Home Alone puts it, a ball-sniffer. Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) sits down to discuss business with Kiki Harrison (Julia Roberts) and the dog noses in for the kill. Lee wants the dog to buy him dinner and drinks at least while Kiki wonders aloud whether she should interrupt the pair of them.

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London

A fart in an elevator is always an awkward moment. When Kenworth (James Faulkner) toots, Diaz (Keith Allen) moves a step or two to the left. There is really nothing one can say.

Elsewhere, there is no truth to the rumours floating around some blogs that Anthony Anderson who plays Derek is related to Terry Thomas, notwithstanding the gap in his front teeth.

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker

You’re blissfully minding your own business, putting the finishing touches and waiting for the shellac to set on your stuffed blowfish, when there is a knock at the door. If you are Jack Starbright (Alicia Silverstone), you are gracious in answering but puzzled by the strange German woman who is asking all sorts of questions about the family in your care. When she refuses to answer, Nadia Vole (Missi Pyle) pulls a gun, cocks an eyebrow and half-winks. Combat starts as a half-marital arts skill fest since Jack knows none and Nadia has all of the moves. Hopping, skipping and jumping about the home, tossing dishes at one another until the regrettable blowfish incident.

Agent Cody Banks

Being the butt of jokes and pranks hurts emotionally despite keeping a brave public face. Ask just about anyone who attended high school in the last 50 years. Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is being needled by the other lads in the locker room when Ronica Miles (Angie Harmon) strides in wanting Cody for a job. Boys being boys they give her some lip and she decides that maybe a wet towel can show them that it isn’t nice to rag on others. Boy, those things sure do sting.

Æon Flux

Security versus social freedom. It is struggle as old as society. Do we forego freedoms in the name of security? It sure seems so these days. Or is it more important that we are free to do as we want to ourselves (but not others), thinks as we want (without controlling others), be as we want (without manipulating others)? This is what most democracies strive towards. Usually the two are found teetering on the ends of a fulcrum trying to find a balance whereby society can progress without feeling that their will has been thwarted by others. Æon Flux (Charlize Theron) is a renegade in a some say perfect society that has shifted almost all of the way toward security. She wants to bring down the regime of Trevor Goodchild (Martin Csokas) which rules a city called Bregna where the remaining five million survivors of a world-wide plague reside. She and her partner Sithandra (Sophie Okonedo) are tasked to assassinate Goodchild. But something is amiss and there are deep secrets to be uncovered and other conspiracies to be foiled. It isn’t as simple as she has been taught.
