Review: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

Any review of a sequel should point out that we attend these movies because we enjoyed the first and we like being able to predict a good time when we spend $14 on a movie ticket.
There are no surprises here, but that shouldn't diminish the experience because we knew there would be none.
As someone who sees upwards of 200 movies a year, I begin to discover that there are a few warning signs as to when a studio might know they have a turkey on their hands â€" a film they've spent money on that is just so bad that they want to hide it from the press and pray that the audience comes out in the first couple of days so that they don't lose too much money.
There seems to be a lot of similarities to Lost in Translation in Sideways.

What is it that attracts us to the world of Bridget Jones? Is it the humor? Maybe it's her love life? Or maybe we just see ourselves in many faucets of her life.
How many jewel heist films do we need? Do we need another heist film with Pierce Brosnan?
After the Sunset chronicles what happens when Max Burdett (Brosnan), a shifty jewel thief, gets away with the perfect crime and retires to the tropics with his lover, Lola (Salma Hayek).
James Barrie (Johnny Depp) is a man that seemingly had it all. A celebrated playwright living in London's West End, he had a constant backer for whatever play he chose to pen, a beautiful home complete with servants-a-plenty, and a wife (Radha Mitchell) â€" even during his most uncreative period.
Make no mistake, The Polar Express is a Tom Hanks movie. He's one of the executive producers and he provides the voices for the conductor, the central boy, the boy's father, the hobo, Scrooge, and Santa Claus. Hanks has such control, he even got his pal Peter Scolari a part.
Why is there still a stigmatism when it comes to talking about animation? Animation seems to still invoke the word "cartoon", and "cartoon" meaning it's only for the kids.
Over the past decade, believe it or not, we have started to see a new evolution in the world of animation as these so-called "cartoons" have come to look more and more real.
The original Alfie was set in 1960s London. Feeling North American audiences wouldn't "get" that, the producers set the re-make in present day New York, but they do have Alfie riding a scooter. That's to make sure we understand Alfie is from England, not a real American.
So what's this movie all about? It's about a young man who lives to regret his carefree ways.
For Bob Parr (Craig T. Nelson), aka Mr. Incredible, life couldn't be any better. Parr is a super hero who rushes around the city protecting the citizens and thwarting evildoers. His friends include Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), a fellow crime fighter, and Elasti-Girl (Holly Hunter), who always shows up on the scene and tries to take credit for his hard work and steal the glory.
