New Stuff: Batman Begins
Since I have the other 2 movies on DVD I though I'd complete the trilogy for my collection.
Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
A spaceship arrives in Arizona, 1873, to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region.
A quite audacious mix of genres, professionably made with a good cast, but hardly offers more than the title leads one to expect.
Maltin**: "Strange hybrid of Western and science-fiction is good-looking and well cast, but neither aspect of the story is sufficiently original to make it work. When you get right down to it, what are those aliens doing in a cowboy movie? And why is this film so utterly devoid of fun?"
New Stuff: Enemy
I was intrigued by the reviews to this movie and didn't want to wait till it gets available in Germany, so I ordered the DVD in the USA.
In & Out (1997)
A midwestern teacher questions his sexuality after a former student makes a comment about him at the Academy Awards.
Hit-and-miss comedy with an obvious message and a stilted uplifting ending.
Halliwell*: "Brisk, mildly amusing comedy that is careful not to offend."
Maltin***: "Very funny script by Paul Rudnick, played to a fare-thee-well by an expert cast. Enjoyable cameos by Whoopi Goldberg and Glenn Close at the mock Oscar ceremony."
