Show Business is a great documentary about 4 musicals that opened in 2003 including Wicked, Avenue Q, Taboo, and Caroline, or Change and the behind the scenes action on their road through production and to the Tonys. This movie was entertaining and even funnier than some comedies. The whole audience was gut laughing at some of the scenes and this movie was a great look into what it takes to put on a Broadway musical.

Evan Almighty
3 out of 5 stars
A great summer family time movie! Its about Evan Baxter, the new congressman, who'se slogan is change the world. God asks Evan to build an ark for the flood that is coming. Evan hesitates at first and then builds the ark with the help of his family. The "flood" was well done and somewhat believable and wasn't a great movie but a fun clean family comedy!

1408
4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
A movie starring John Cusack based on a Stephen King short story. Cusack's character, Mike Enslin, is a 'ghost hunter' and writes books on different haunted places such as mansions and hotels. He gets a postcard from The Dolphin Hotel in NY and it says don't go in room 1408. Of course after never finding any hint of paranormal activity Mike goes to the hotel and after the hotel manager gives him stern warnings he still decides to stay over night. The manager tells him there has been 56 deaths in room 1408 and shows him the pictures of the deaths. This is when the nightmare begins. With a great twist 1408 is a tense thriller that delivered with very little gore.

Chalk
4 out of 5 stars
Chalk is a 'documentary' style movie about 3 teachers and 1 new assistant principal (AP). It shows teaching from the perspective of the teachers and the struggles they go through with their kids, other teachers, and social lives outside the classroom. A very funny movie that teachers and students can connect to!

Waitress
4 out of 5 stars
Keri Russell (Felicity) plays Jenna an extraordinary pie baker who works at Joe's Pie Diner with Dawn (Adrienne Shelly) and Becky (Cheryl Hines) and whose life turns upside down when she gets pregnant by her abusive controlling husband. She had been saving some of her paycheck and tips to get away from her husband and doesn't want the baby. She has a intimate relationship with her doctor, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillon). The ending was good and Jenna straightens out what she needs to in her life to be happy.

Knocked Up
4 out of 5 stars
One of the funniest movies of the summer. Hilarious and charming comedy starring Katherine Heigl who works for E! ends up being pregnant after a one night stand with the slacker stoner Ben played by Seth Rogan. They try to make it work for the baby's sake and there are ups and downs and overall the movie is hilarious and charming.

Hostel: Part II
2 1/2 out of 5 stars
Advertised as the best horror movie in years and having the most shocking ending and failed to deliver on both aspects. The movie left me waiting for something shocking, suspenseful or even just plain gory to happen. The movie is about 3 girls who are taking a class in Rome who decide to go to Prague for the weekend and then are persuaded to go to Slovakia to visit the natural hot springs. There one by one they are kidnapped and tortured.

Bug
3 out of 5 stars
First don't go to this movie expecting it to be a horror movie like it was marketed. This movie was about Ashley Judd's character meeting a guy through her friend. He spends the night and then he realizes they have bugs in the hotel room. You never quite knew what was going to happen or what was real or even who was who. The movie overall was really intense and the ending was awesome.
