Tonight we watched I, Robot off of our Netflix queue. This is a movie staring Will Smith and is very loosely based on the science fiction novel by Isaac Asimov. A scientist friend of Smith’s character is murdered and he’s suspicious of a robot, but robots are programmed not to harm humans. The visual effects on this movie are amazing and it’s a good adventure movie. However, don’t go in expecting anything of substance and don’t expect to see Asimov’s original novel.

I always have to watch Ben Stiller movies on my own. Jennifer can’t stand his movies. So, when I heard about a movie with both Ben Stiller and Jack Black it was instantly on my Netflix queue. I figured you can’t go wrong. Well, Envy is by far one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a while. It has a great premise: Jack Black character invents a spray can which instantly disintegrates dog poop. How much I wish I had a can of that for all the dogs that take a crap in my front yard. However, the premise is all that’s good about this movie. I would suggest staying away from this movie even if you are a Stiller and Black fan.
