Bride Wars

After a mix-up at the wedding planner’s office, the weddings of best friends Liv Lerner and Emma Allen (Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway) will happen the same day at the same place… unless one of them budges. The most embarrassing stunts are avoided, but this comedy falls flat nevertheless. Hudson and Hathaway are too likable for us to believe that a wedding would make them behave in this idiotic way…

Fanboys

In 1998, Star Wars nerd Linus (Christopher Marquette) learns that he has only months left to live and decides, together with his friends, to break into George Lucas’s ranch and steal a print of the upcoming Episode I .

Son of the Pink Panther

Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) tries to find a kidnapped princess in the country of Lugash, but the inept, young policeman (Roberto Benigni) aiding him looks eerily familiar. When director Blake Edwards decided to make a ninth entry in the series, several actors returned in their old parts but are less than engaging; that’s also true for Benigni who has a few good scenes but can’t match…

Band of Brothers: Memories of Hell

The original quote from William Shakespeare’s “Henry V” is: “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile”. As the soldiers of the Easy Company stand listening to a German colonel surrendering his men to U.S. forces sometime in 1945, none of them can’t help but feel that the speech could just as easily…
