Robert Gold http://www.mevio.com/view/?kId=98527&tId=2 Mobile Movie Minute 60. Too bad we didn't see a top-notch blockbuster for this milestone. But we're closing in on 100! Nicolas and his dad, the Midnight Cowboy, go off on a world-wide chase for what, we're not really sure. But they do get around, and somehow break into impossible places, like Buckingham Palace and the Oval Office. Not bad, given the awful acting. 3.4 bags of can-you-believe-it popcorn. And Riley can hack anything!

Robert Gold http://www.mevio.com/view/?kId=97068&tId=2 Mobile Movie Minute 59. Wow, is there a prize for 60? Laura and Philip go at it as brother and sister, but they really do care about each other. I think. I'm not sure - it's too much of a relationship, coming-of-middle-age film for a cynic like me. You might like it, however, especially since they do their best by their dad who did nothing for them. But then he dies. Ho hum. 3 bags of who-cares popcorn. Ok, go see it. It's well acted, it's a sad little tale, but it seems to end happily. Again, I'm not sure.

Robert Gold http://www.mevio.com/view/?kId=82722&tId=2 Mobile Movie Minute 41.  Man, family can be such a pain, eh, Bobby Duvall?  And who do you love, Joaquin or Mark? Anyway, enough mushy stuff, this is a terrific story, told like a well-paced novel, with one of the best car chase scenes ever filmed.  4 bags of top-cop popcorn and you'll enjoy yourself.  People even clapped at the sneak preview, clearly a good sign.

They Were Only Looking For Water? Robert Gold http://www.mevio.com/view/?kId=81375&tId=2 Mobile Movie Minute 40.  Jamie, Wesley, Denzel, and one other guy whose name I forget all manage to get into the same kind of fixes, but in their own movies.  Team 'em up, I say.  Until then, this is Jamie's attempt at superhero greatness.  He pulls it off with a cocky attitude that reminded me of Denzel.  Go figure, and then figure out how the FBI team managed to survive the bullet ridden ending of this thing.   3.4 bags of popcorn, and that's all it's worth. (You will see some great pretend Saudi Arabia sites, but it's really Abu Dhabi). Agree?  Disagree?  Curious minds want to know:  robertintoronto@gmail.com gets you in.  Really, eh?

That Jodie Foster is one tough chick. At least with a gun. Armed only with a microphone and a radio show, she's not so tough. Guess she should've been a podcaster instead. But I digress. 3 bags of molten lead (like in bullets) popcorn for this "Death Wish" wannabe. Actually, that's not really fair, 'cause the acting is terrific, it's just the story that sucks!

Have you written to robertintoronto@gmail.com to request a movie review? Why not, eh?

Mobile Movie Minute 38.  Apparently the script was written by Seth Rogen when he was 13.  You can believe it, 'cause this flick is all about getting drunk and getting laid.  Perfect way to end the summer.  Co-hosts this episode are all teenage boys, so you know we had a great time.  Laughed a lot.  4 bags of popcorn that you'd probably better not eat!
