How many things can you say about a romantic comedy? How many things can you say about a romantic comedy with a third wheel? How many things can you say about a romantic comedy with a third wheel that stars Zach Braff? Well, believe it or not that is about it.
On the eve of Spider-Man 3, I was literally excited beyond expectations. The first two films had lived up to the hype and proved that this was the strongest superhero franchise around. When I saw the first two films, I felt in heart that they emulated what was so great about the Superman movies back in the late 70s and early 80s.
As everyone knows, this is the "third" summer: we're looking forwrd to Shrek the Third, the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the third Jason Bourne, and of course the third Rush Hour.

I have been a huge fan of Mark Wahlberg ever since he starred in 1996's Fear, where he starred as the unhinged boyfriend of Reese Witherspoon. I have always wanted to see him in a straight-out action picture. We have come close with films like 1999's The Corruptor, 2001's Planet of the Apes, and 2003's The Italian Job. But all those films never really let Wahlberg be an action hero.
How many times have we seen the plot where someone goes back in time to save a loved one from dying? What makes each of them stand out? What makes them a good one opposed to a bad one?
