EAGLE EYE
Here's what the most ambivalent person on IMDb had to say about this one: "Eagle Eye is not the best movie I've ever seen but it's much better than some of the other junk that been out lately." But don't take their word for it!

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film/reviews/article_display.jsp?rid=11518
THE MUMMY : TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR
Jet Li and Brendan Fraser tear up the desert in this latest sequel. Judging from the box, there's a dragon in the movie

UP THE YANGTZE
Acclaimed documentary from China, probably something to do with the river
http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/04/25/movies/25yang.html?ref=movies
SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS 2

New Releases, 28 October 2008
My friends, I know you're hurting. Times are rough on Main street, and my opponent talks about "spreading the new movies around." But my friends, this is no time to experiment with Socialism, or the barter system. We must continue to pay for videos and, if we're late, we must pay the late fees. This is what made this country great my friends. We can't trade movies for backrubs or soup or drycleaning or...actually, that sounds pretty nice.

Hi everybody!
Our old group was getting flooded with messages about knockoff rolexes and naked celebrities, so we started a blog to post about our new movies every tuesday and other ideas we might have. Hope this is helpful to all of you out there in internetland.
