I love b-movies, and I love horror movies and I loved Leprechaun. But tongue in cheek gags, continuity, story line, gore, surprises, and even special effects are all pretty much missing from this stinker. It wasn't creepy. It wasn't offensive. It wasn't scary. It wasn't funny. It wasn't even unintentionally funny.
It was boring. It was dumb. One star for the poor acting that took itself too seriously. That's it. I'll get more use out of this disc playing catch with the dog. Yes, seriously.

Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous

I bought this movie because I'm a huge fan of Jessica Simpson. I personally own every movie, perfume, CDs, posters, EVERYTHING! I think it's amazing and I've met her. She is very down to earth, nothing like the media drags her to be. The movie was very good, alot of ditzy moments, but hey, that's a typical blonde. But overall... amazing. Good job Jess!!

Righteous Kill

Apart from the cast, there's really very little to separate this from a whole slew of straight to DVD thrillers. Which makes it all the more a mystery why DeNiro and Pacino chose this as their next vehicle to star in together, having created such screen heat in.. well, Heat.
DeNiro and Pacino are both cops, both veterans (well, they'd have to be wouldn't they...) who end up investigating a vigilante serial killer. As the clues start to appear, suspicion grows that the killer is in fact a cop.. so who can be trusted, and just who is telling the truth...?
Well, that's the set up, but it's great potential is somehow fumbled. The tag line of `the two best actors alive at the top of their game' is certainly somewhat overstated, but the fault does not lie there - rather it is in a weak story directed in such a straight forward way that red herrings are just rather too obvious. It's really not that bad, and has its own stylistic flourishings along the way - however it is also not half as clever as it seems to think it is, and the ending is unlikely to surprise anyone. Fortunately it is only 97 minutes so does not overstay its welcome too long.. certainly bearable for an undemanding watch, but when you factor in the disappointment factor of having two such great stars so sorely underused, this would come down a notch to a two star movie...
