Reviews: "White Noise," "Racing Stripes," & "Elektra"

Let's quickly catch up with the movies of the year thus far:

White Noise, starring Michael Keaton, was a huge disappointment. The horror film started off with a strong and eerie premise but saw a fork in the road midway through the plotline and took the wrong road. It took the road most traveled and failed to bring anything new or even fun to the table. Its execution was all wrong.


Racing Stripes was a bit more boring that I had expected. It has plenty of comedy and lots of fun, but the pacing is a bit too slow. Fortunately, it has enough positive attributes for me to still mildly reccommend it.


Finally, Elektra, starring Jennifer Garner, is a weak superhero film with a solid story. The story is human enough to keep anyone interested and the special effects are entertaining, however it just doesn't pack a hard enough punch. It is still worth a mild reccommendation.
