Some more quick movie reviews

No, I don't have a life.

Domino: Eh. Some half-decent action, but ultimately a waste of talent such as Keira Knightley (drool, drool) and Mickey Rourke (who I used to hate, but he redeemed himself considerably in Sin City). The story is about bounty-hunters who get mixed up in a mob-related robbery and it is "inspired by real events". Domino is ok for killing time, but nothing more.

Fun with Dick and Jane: Yawn. Unemployed suburbanites go on a robbery spree. Yet another horrible miscast of Jim Carrey, whose comic talents are undisputable, but who needs the right sort of script and...this...ain't...it. Also, Tea Leoni needs to find other parts than neurotic suburban wives (see Spanglish). I don't think I laughed once during the whole movie.

Keeping mum: Heh. Hehehe. Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaa! Wonderful British comedy, starring Rowan Atkinson as the bumbling country vicar, Kristin Scott Thomas as his frustrated housewife and the always wonderful Maggie Smith as the criminally insane housekeeper who irons out the family's troubles with her, uhm... hands-on ways... Don't miss this one!
