Movie Picks for August 6th

Pineapple Express
The guys who brought you Superbad reunite for the action-comedy "Pineapple Express." Lazy stoner Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express...

Pete's Featured Review:

The Dark Knight (2008)

Compared to the Batman franchise of the 80s and 90s the current series takes Gotham City into grittier terrain. Batman Returns (1992) was criticised for taking the Caped Crusader story into darker territory but that’s nothing compared to director Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight the sequel to Batman Begins (2005).

The first hour of Dark Knight is about money laundering and fraud involving the District Attorney played by Aaron Eckhart. It’s a tad hard to follow. It sets up the last hour-and-a-half, thankfully, and introduces us to the late Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker, a truly magnificent and memorable performance. Ledger delivers juicy lines with pent-up relish, albeit a kind of eerie send off from this planet...more

The blockbuster global "Mummy" franchise takes a spellbinding turn as the action shifts to Asia for the next chapter in the adventure series, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor."

The Dark Knight
Christian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask in "The Dark Knight." The film reunites Bale with director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman has been making headway against local crime...until a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger) unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace--Batman's most personal and vicious enemy yet--he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes....more

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
When last we saw Indy, he was riding off into the sunset in 1989's The Last Crusade, set in 1938 near the start of World War II. The new movie, due this spring, is set at the height of the Cold War in 1957, so the character has aged in real time — 19 years.

"He's teaching and having kind of a quiet life," the producer says. Once the archaeologist is thrust back into danger, the signature Indiana Jones red line tracing across the map will take him to New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru...more

Iron Man

 Feature Stories

Where are all the good movies?
The sound of soda being sipped, the smell of fresh popcorn in the air, the scream or laugh the whole room has burst into, the actor saying the line he’ll be remembered for his entire career and a while after it – simply put, the movies. Though we’ve always been fascinated by going to our local multiplex or movie theater, are we getting the same chills and thrills, twists and turns as our parents were, not 20 years ago?...more
