I caught a couple of 2007 movies on cable this week. Here are my quick and dirty reviews.<\/p>\n
Vacancy<\/em><\/a> – Started off a little slow but ultimately much better than I had anticipated considering Luke Wilson seems to be the kiss of death for most movies (except Old School<\/em> which rocks).<\/p>\n Next<\/em><\/a> – Another pleasant surprise that even sucked Joe in. I’m not a big Nicholas Cage fan but he’s definitely a good actor. I couldn’t even imagine seeing two minutes into the future. That would totally fuck with the present, don’t you think?<\/p>\n Lucky You<\/em><\/a> – Terribly boring; even Drew Barrymore couldn’t make this enjoyable. I can’t see anyone but a hardcore poker player enjoying this movie as most of it was just people playing poker. *Yawn*. There was a two-second shot of Antonio Esfandiari<\/a> in it, though. That was the highlight, actually. Phil Laak<\/a> wasn’t in it. And no, I don’t know either of them from watching the World Poker Tour; I just like their show, I Bet You<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I caught a couple of 2007 movies on cable this week.
