movie reviews-JUNE
	Title - Cast	Plot	Take the chance?
	2 Fast 2 Furious Paul Walker Tyrese Gibson Eva Mendes	Undercover cop tries to expose some dirty money all the while driving some kick-ass cars and hanging out with half-naked girls.	We're not exactly a rocket scientist but we're not a bunch a monkeys either. A little too brain- less for us.

	Dumb and Dumberer Eric Christian Olsen Derek Richardson Luis Guzman	When Harry met Lloyd. It takes you back to one of the most pivotal moments in human history. Or a good laugh.	Riding on the coat tails of the original, it might be enough to draw us in. Who knows, this could be the next Jim Carrey.

	Hulk Eric Bana Jennifer Connelly Nick Nolte	Gamma radiation + mild mannered scientist + a very bad temper = the box office bohemeth Hulk.	Style point for Ang Lee director (Crouching ITiger) and our inner need to lose our temper.

	Charlie's Angel: Full Throttle Cameron Diaz Drew Barrymore Lucy Lui	The three unstoppable girls return for a sequal showing off their espionage, martial arts, and disguise skills. All the while looking good.	Tough call. It's got the stars, the action, the appeal but what about the plot?

SURVEY: what super power would you want?! (and you can't pick flying!)

"I wish I could morph into anything I wanted to look like. Which would probably be pre-pregnancy Catherine Zeta Jones."

"TO BE INVISIBLE AND TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. REASON -to catch my boyfriend cheating."

"I want to be Buffy with her superhuman strength, good fashion sense, and Angel :)"

"Hard choice, but I'm going to go with Jedi Mind Control. I could work toward abolishing hunger and bringing about world peace by making people give their money to charity (You don't want that big screen TV. You want to give money to the Red Cross!). "
