Hairspray (2007) [PG] 107 minutes -- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $13.75
Review-lite: A risky notion, updating a cult-popular film from the late 80s with a decidedly gorgeous 2000s cast in a summer of heavy-hitting blockbusters. Who could have predicted that it would be the summer's first great comedy and most lively (non-special effects-driven) film and the first to actually deliver on its promise? Featuring a great cast including the divine John Travolta, Michelle Pfieffer, James Marsden, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken, the wondrous Queen Latifah, and new comer Nikki Blonski, lively music, perfect dancing (choreographed and directed by Adam Shankman), the film soars with both brilliant and timeless social agendas as well as terrific historical reminders to keep us all on a progressively forward path. So far, the most fun to be had at the movies this summer. (click for full details and complete review)

Movie Review for Rescue Dawn (2007) [PG-13] 125 minutes -- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $14.75
Review-lite: Writer / Director Werner Herzog expands on his short film creating the major motion picture, Rescue Dawn, which tells the tale of German American immigrant Dieter Dengler's (Christian Bale) heroic survival against all odds after crashing in Laos pre-Vietnam war on a top secret mission to bomb enemy supply lines. Arriving in a prison camp occupied by prisoners that have been there for over a year, he immediately begins to change the climate of the place with talk of escape where the previous 'leader' Eugene placated them all with talk of release. Steve Zahn and Christian Bale both deliver Oscar®-nomination worthy performances, in this triumphant film about the will of a man to survive.(click for full details and complete review)

Live Free or Die Hard (2007) [PG-13] 130 minutes -- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $13.00
Review-lite: Live Free or Die Hard is a worthy new addition to the franchise of John McClane Die Hard films. Better than the middle two, but still lacking the complete magic of the original, Bruce Willis finds himself in the throes of battle with a thief possing as a terrorist yet again. This time, it's to steal all of the government's back up financial data captured during a cataclysmic cyber attack, and hold it for ransom. Timothy Olyphant plays the evil villain, and Justin Long appears as Willis's trusty new sidekick. It's great for the nostalgia of it all, but everyone must realize that this franchise is approaching it's 20th anniversary; and, in the mean time, the world has gotten a lot tougher aka giant transforming robots from Mars are enroute to planet earth. Still, I'll always be a huge John McClane fan. (click for full details and complete review)
