Parker

A slight more elaborate yet typical Statham flick. Quite enjoyable as an excuse for shovelling pop corn into mouths. Even Jennifer Lopez's character (and her acting) was a good addition to the mix and the plot tiptoes its way around some of the more clichéd elements that keeps things interesting.

A Jet Li action-comedy that's worth watching for what else, but the martial arts. The plot could have been interesting. Bad script, direction, and acting ruined what could have been a really good film. Still, the fight scenes are what everybody wants to watch.

Superman Unbound

Rather substandard animation, but nevertheless entertaining. Supergirl was more interesting than Superman and Brainiac was a rather dull cardboard cut-out.

Watch once if you are a fan of the character.

Dull, insipid nonsense albeit a little better than the books. But I guess it'd make a good popcorn flick. A bit of a new low for Tom Cruise.

Django Unchained

Some good bits. Some not so. Entertaining, typically Tarantino dialogue, and an excellent performance by Christoph Waltz make this good viewing. However, it doesn't really live up to expectations.

Paladin of Souls

A sequel to The Curse of Chalion, PoS (bad initialism?) is almost as enjoyable. However, it is a little too sappy and too, dare I say it, feminine in its atmosphere. The universe is nevertheless nicely developed.

If you enjoyed its prequel, you will enjoy this one as well.
