The Dangerous Adventures of Altar Boys 1 A+ Definitely the surprise of the summer for me so far.
Signs 1 A Second best movie of the year.  Not what you'd expect, great performances, really well done, excellent message.
Road To Perdition 1 A Definitely at the top of my Best Picture list.  Excellent performances, great cinematography.
Minority Report 1.5 A Great, as was expected.  Cruise is fantastic.
Spider Man 3 A A little bit of everything, very true to the comic, great direction by Sam Raimi.
Insomnia 1 A Nolan had a tough act to follow after Mememento, and he certainly did an excellent job
Bourne Identity 1 A- One of the best action movies I've seen, period.
Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones 2.5 A- The last 40 Minutes are what gives this movie an A-.  The first 1.5 hours is like a C+ at best.
Lovely and Amazing 1 A- Short and sweet, great performances all around, especially Jake Gyllenhal. 
About a Boy 1 B+ For me, this was this summer's Legally Blonde.  I wasn't expecting anything, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Austin Powers: Goldmember 2 B/B+ Hilarious.  Definitely the funniest movie of the summer, and the funniest of the trilogy.  Even better the second time around.
Sum of All Fears 1 B Solid movie, great performances, blah ending.
Scooby Doo 1 B Matthew Lillard makes it worth seeing.  Pretty funny and oddball at times.
Mr. Deeds 2 B Very funny, very predictable, but still good the second time around.
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood 1 B- I can't believe I'm putting this on here
Men In Black 2 1 D+ It wasn't a D, mom, it was a D+.  If you've seen the previews, you've seen the good jokes.
xXx 2 D+ Cool action, but not much else.  Gaaaa....
Halloween Resurrection 1 D Not funny, not really scary, just not worth it.
