Eagle Eye
I use the "Yahoo Users" grade instead of the critics viewpoint on if a movie is worth seeing. You know those critics, they like the artsie fartsie kind of movie and the rest of us like the enjoyment a movie brings to us. If Yahoo users give it a B or above- go see it. This method doesn't work all the time,but I found out that it works for me. My son always teases me about my method.
I also rate by the cost per movie. A first run showing may cost $8.00-11.00 and reviews become more important. If you go to the cheap theater(2nd run) and pay $1.50 . The reviews may not matter as much. A movie has to really suck not to be worth at least a buck fifty.
I am rating these movies by my enjoyment and from the mancave viewpoint. If you didn't like the movie after I said it was worth seeing, please leave a comment on our blog.

Basic Story: Jerry Shaw and Rachel Holloman are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations--using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move. As the situation escalates, these two ordinary people become the country's most wanted.
My son (Nick) and I both liked it. We believe the critics were way off on this one. They gave it a "c", at 2themancave we gave it 4 1/2 Clubs out of 5
Basically, Eagle Eye was a fun, wild rollercoaster ride. It had action, and humor, suspence, but maybe a bit predictable about half way through the movie. You won't be disappointed in this one.
Even though Shia LaBeouf isn't the most manly of actors, he does a good job in Eagle Eye.
