Ebert & Roeper: 6-17-06

Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper reviews "Nacho Libre" (I always love this Religious/Wrestling Comedy from "Napoleon Dynamite" and "A Minecraft Movie" Director, Jared Heiss. And "School of Rock" writer, Mike White. Starring: Jack Black. Both Ebert & Roeper blew it!) "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" (Feels like a Direct-to-Video Sequel Barring its name from the most popular film franchise. But it's still fun. Starring: Lucas Black and Zachary Ty Bryan from "Home Improvement".); "Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties" (Another lame Live-Action CGI follow-up to the 2004 feature based on the original Comic Strip from Jim Davis. Starring: Bill Murray, Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love-Hewitt. Of course, Mr. Ebert defense it!), "Loverboy" (Not to be confused with the 1989 romantic comedy with Patrick Dempsey of the same title. Kevin Bacon stars and directed this rather forgettable drama with his wife, Kyra Sedgwick and their kids.) and "The Heart of the Game".

Thumbs Up Video: "Green Street Hooligans"; "Aquamarine" (I had a soft spot for that romance comedy. Mostly because, it's a like "The Little Mermaid" and "Splash" for a family and teen audience and it's from "Bring It On" writer, Jessica Bendinger.) and "16 Blocks" (An Underrated Action Thriller from the late, great Richard Donner. Starring: Bruce Willis, Mos Def and David Morse.) Roeper's pick is "Syriana" (Great Political Thriller with George Clooney, Matt Damon and William Hurt. From director, Stephen Gaghan.) And Ebert's pick is "John Wayne/John Ford Collection". And a recap of Today's program.
