    The Butterfly Effect
    directed by Eric Bress and starring Ashton Kutcher

    Ashton gets the ultimate punking as a college student who suffers from not your usual head trips. This movie was extremely disturbing at times but does make you think. Ashton looks extremely hot but everything is just a wee bit over the top. Eric Stoltz makes some kind of wonderful child molester but damn, even watching people pretend to make kiddie porn is just way too creepy. NOT A GOOD DATE FLICK.

    2 Fast, 2 Furious
    directed by John Singleton, starring Paul Walker and Tyrese

    I know I usually don't review stuff I've seen on video but I gotta talk about this one because the sexual tension between Paul Walker and Tyrese is just too much! All the "you're my homie, bro" comradary between these two is oozing with homoeroticism! Paul Walker is the new Keanu Reeves I'm convinced. The plot was way too hard for me to follow with Paul and Tyrese working for the cops, then for some gang but then still the cops, oh wait now the gang people wanna kill them, now another gang wants to kill that gang. Honestly I don't think the story matters that much in this film, what matters is people driving in reverse on the freeway at 100mph, cuz that's cool!

    Spellbound
    directed by Jeff Blitz and starring some really strange children


    Follow a bunch of kids as they prepare for the National Spelling Bee. The first half of the movie is back story on the various kids, some of whom really needed to be slapped or at least one, you'll know who I'm talking about when you see the film. The second half is the kids at the bee. Yes, there were moments of suspense as we wait to see if the kids can spell "Crocodilian" (sp?) correctly but after a while it gets kind of boring. I've seen the Bee on ESPN and it held my attention for about 30 seconds, I'd rather watch the "jewelry hour" on the Home Shopping Network. I would have preferred to see more footage of the kids when they were back home and like getting beat up in the cafeteria. Also the thing I don't get about this whole spelling bee is like, after it's over, then what? I mean if you've trained to be a figure skater and you don't make it to the Olympics well at least you can skate really well and maybe join the Icecapades....but what do you do with spelling? I mean so you can spell "flibbertiggibet"...now what...an exciting career in proofreading? Join the professional hangman circuit???
