WELCOME TO THE FILM CRITIC. HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? PLEASE, DIRECT THEM TO ABENJ24@AOL.COM. (PLEASE MAKE ALL E-MAILS WITH THE HEADING: THE FILM CRITIC). MOVIES CURRENTLY IN REVIEW: MATRIX RELOADED, THE ITALIAN JOB,  FINDING NEMO. MORE MOVIES, SUCH AS T3, TO BE REVIEWED SOON.

MATRIX RELOADED, RATING: R, (ACTION)

In this sequel, repetition rules, in a sense. Matrix, being an introduction to the concept of the movies, loses its "touch." The sequel loses "that something," which captures the viewer's heart, which the first movie did a good job. If you're looking for something new, well...this movie isn't your choice then. 

(Neo faces a wave of "Smiths")

Some argue, like AquaNox21 (AIM Screen Name) that the movie is, in fact, better than the original. Still, he argues, "Neo is played by a bad actor...Reeves sucks..." The Mercury News gives Matrix Reloaded, an amazing...astounding rating of 3 stars. Try 2.5 stars. Not much of a difference, eh?  Check Matrix Reloaded, at the movie theater, or nowadays, a few hours of downloading at Kazaa will do the trick. Either way, tell me what you think, and I'll post your thoughts.

FINDING NEMO, RATING: G [could be PG] (CHILDREN'S)

Finding Nemo is quite interesting, in itself. It isn't as great as the Toy Story brand, but still this movie is not that bad. It's a father-son movie. Now, when I went to the theaters, about 90% of the audience was kids, so other than the chance of public humiliation, this movie is good to go. So, my call is...go, but be aware...embarrassment may be around the corner, heh.

THE ITALIAN JOB, RATING: PG-13 (COMEDY)

This re-make of the 1969 movie is quite interesting. Although a pretty short movie, it's worth spending 8 bucks. The movie's filled with unexpected turns, but if you've seen the trailer, you probably know betrayal occurs.

(A  scene from the old movie, also in the re-make)

Pretty good movie I'd say; 3.25 stars.
