I'm gearing up for the upcoming summer movie season. Consider these reviews spring training. Have you noticed that the summer movie season has started earlier and earlier each year? Look at what's coming up in March. It doesn't officially start until Memorial Day (or is it Labor Day) in May, but there are some potential blockbusters opening soon.

Firewall

Harrison Ford stars in a high tech thriller. This was an amalgamation of El Fugitivo and Air Force One. It sucked. Ford seems to be content in playing the harrassed man who has to save his family or himself. I thought it was going to be a hacker film, which would've saved it in my eyes, but it ended up being a thriller of un-epic proportions. Don't watch this unless you catch it on Skinemax. Don't order Skinemax, but wait until this shows up on TBS. Don't Tivo it. You can catch it on broadcast TV, but only in small doses.

Nightwatch

Nightwatch is another movie about vampires. They should've had some Lycans show up. Or at least some kick ass babes. They did, but I think we'll have to wait for the sequel to see Olga kick some ass. Then it might be awesome. Perhaps the sequel is on bittorrent already.
