Red Eye (85 minutes)
My alternative title would be: Bumpy Ride

SUPER MOVIE FAN'S RECOMMENDATION: 3, See It

Who is in it?:
RACHEL MCADAMS, CILLIAN MURPHY

What is it about?
Lisa (RACHEL MCADAMS) is not to interested in flying, but she is on her way back to Miami from her grandma's funeral when a man, Jackson (CILLIAN MURPHY), befriends her in line at the delayed flight check-in desk. He is a bad, bad man, who has organized a way to kill the head of homeland security by using the connections Lisa has a hotel front desk manager.

When and Where does this movie take place?
At the airport, on the plane and in Miami.

Why see it? This is an intense trip into a nightmare day in Lisa's life. It is well written, acted and set-up. I liked it a lot as an action-adventure movie. It won't win any awards but for this kind of movie it is great. MURPHY who was in Batman Returns is a very good bad, bad man. MCADAMS does a good job as the heroine/victim

How about the kids?
PG-13 for violence—most teens will find it interesting and intense. Not for little kids.

Video Pick of the Week
Gladiator with RUSSELL CROWE is out on in an extended DVD this week. What a great movie.

Next week, we'll review, MATT DAMON in the Brother's Grimm. Looks creative and novel, Wayne.
