CAPSULE REVIEWS - Not missing much

THE LEGEND OF ZORRO (2005)
Martin Cambell back in the directing chair, Banderas back in the saddle and Zeta Jones back in that oh-so tight fitting dress. We are introduced to new band of cardboard cut out bad guy and a new mini me Zorro in the form of Zorro's son. Some great sword fighting moments and other action sequences where you must suspend all belief and one part in particular has you asking "Why not just kill whilst you have your sword at his throat Zorro?".
Overall: Just harmless, if a little overlong, fun. 5.5/10

THE PINK PANTHER (2005)
At first my thoughts on this remake with Steve Martin in the role of Clouseau was another Hollywood bad idea. An offences to the Sellars classics. But for what it's worth this is amiable enough, Martin hams his way though most of the scenes, especially the airport security one. Jean Reno is okay but the real standout star is Kevin Kline as the brunt of all Closeau's mishaps, the scheming Chief of Police Dreyfus.
Overall: Passable but forgettable. 4.5/10

DATE MOVIE (2006)
My poor Alyson what deal did you have to make with Satan to end up working in this crap. This is the first movie I have watched in about 10 years that I turned off before the end. I think I lasted about an hour and a bit, right upto the huge puss-filled zit.
Overall: The shit stops here. 1/10
