Into the Blue (2005)



A group of divers find themselves in deep trouble with a drug lord after they come upon the illicit cargo of a sunken airplane.

Shallow thriller with not much more than pretty people in exotic scenery getting into some silly trouble.

Maltin*1/": "Picturesque scenery and plenty of eye-candy don't compensate for a half-baked storyline, routine suspense, and mindless."

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)






Some of Sin City's most hard-boiled citizens cross paths with a few of its more reviled inhabitants.

Highly and efficiently stylized adaptation of the comic strip of the same name with multiple intersecting subplots manages to achieve the quality of the first movie.

Fantastic Four (2005)




A group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom.

Entertaining, but not particularly inventive comic strip adaptation.

Honey (2003)


Honey is a sexy, tough music video choreographer who shakes up her life after her mentor gives her an ultimatum: sleep with him or be blacklisted within their industry.

Mostly acceptable, if you're a fan of the star who plays quite well, but otherwise the plot follows well-trodden paths.

The Eye (2008)




OK remake of a Chinese horror movie of the same title. I watched it, since it has Jessica Alba in it, but then realized that I must have seen the original some time ago.
