Perfect Stranger - Dir: James Foley

This is an interesting one. Halle Berry and Bruce Willis are always watchable if they have the right material. It seems here that they just about do. Halle Berry plays a journalist that is trying to snair the killer of one of her friends. The main suspect is Bruce Willis' ad agency head character who is known to have met her online and subsequently had an affair. It's a slow burner but not in a boring way, more in a purring Halle Berry way, which is ironic considering the terrible Cat Woman movie she was in. Bruce Willis is also okay and reminds us how before he was John Maclane, he was the romantic guy in the TV series Moonlighting. It has a great ending. This is a JM RECOMMENDS.

X Men 3 - Dir: Brett Ratner

Pretty much everything an action movie shouldn't be. The problem with the X-men movies is that there are too many characters to keep tabs on and never enough time to give them any character development. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry and Famke Janssen reprise their roles in the movie and are joined by Vinnie Jones as the Juggarnaut. As you'd expect, he doesn't exactly act the legs off anyone else in the movie. A flawed script combined with paint by numbers directing by Brett Ratner really leaves a shallow taste. This is a JM THUMBS DOWN.
