Grade: B | Genre: Science Fiction/Horror Summary: The Jacket is definitely worth a spot on your 'to-see' list. What it may lack in originality, it definitely makes up for through Brody's performance and a well-crafted composition by Maybury.

Starring: Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley, Kris Kristofferson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kelly Lynch
Director: John Maybury

If you stuck Memento and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest into a giant mixing bowl and stirred furiously, you'd have something close to the Jacket. While that is not necessarily a bad thing since it samples idea lines from two high quality films, it doesn't say much for this film's originality. Thankfully the film has Adrien Brody and director John Maybury to put this work on their collective shoulders to make the Jacket more effective than it probably should be.

	Grade: C+ | Genre: Comedy Summary: If you want laugh out loud gags, "Be Cool" is a good choice. If you're looking for something with a little more substance and dept, skip it and rent "Get Shorty."

Starring: John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn, Cedric The Enterainer, Christina Milian, Andre 3000, and The Rock
Director: F. Gary Gray

Chili Palmer (Travolta) is back, cool as usual, still getting things done his way. Since "Get Shorty," the former shylock's been a movie producer who is now looking to get in the music business, but deep inside, he is still and always will be a shylock. He's smooth and very capable of getting what he wants, but if necessary, he is able to revert back to the Brooklyn street smarts that got him this far.

"Be Cool" is very aware of itself. It's a sequel that knows where it came from and doesn't shy away from referencing the original.

	Grade: D | Genre: Mystery/Action Summary: This film is barely worth your time, and you're better off watching something like Hitch, which the wife and I did afterwards.

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou
Director: Francis Lawrence

Wow, it seems we've mentioned Keanu Reeves a lot this week, haven't we? Don't get us wrong, it's not because we admire him or praise the work he's done. At the moment, he's just an easy target. His consistently poor performances beg the question, "How do he and Ben Affleck continue to get work?"

Anyway, I just saw Constantine, and I must say...what the heck was going on?

	Grade: B | Genre: Romantic Comedy Summary: Will Smith can do it all and does it in Hitch. The movie is nothing new or profound...just a safe bet date movie worth admission.

Staring: Will Smith, Eva Mendes, and Kevin James
Director: Andy Tennant

Will Smith can do no wrong. He's got unbelievable cross-over appeal and is able to play any role convincingly. His streak of number one opening weekends continues with Hitch where we see him, not saving us from aliens or robots, but saving us from ourselves when it comes to love and women (I feel like I'm going to throw up).
