Jayson Blair reviews Matrix: Reloaded
From The Lemon:
The Matrix: Reloaded is a sequel to the 1999 blockbuster Point Break. The movie is an action / adventure / thriller / love story / drama that is sure to be one of the movies people see this summer.

The movie starts out with Neo (Keneau Reeves) and Trinity (Sandra Bullock) in a phone booth. The two of them use the phone booth to travel through time to meet historical characters for an oral report that is due the next day. If they fail, they will be shipped off to military school and never get to fulfill their dream of forming a rock and roll band and making a music video with Eddie Van Halen. During their travels, they are guided by Neo's mentor, Morpheous (George Carlin) who delivers wry and sometimes humorous advice to the time-traveling duo.
...
The movie is a bit slow in the beginning, focusing on a group of Neo's friends who rob banks while wearing rubber masks of former presidents. The action picks up later in the movie when there is a stunning battle between Neo and his prickly history teacher, played by Patrick Swazie.

Said PETA spokesman Alec Baldwin, "These people are taking pictures of the animals they live with and posting them on the internet. How would a person feel if their roommate took pictures of them and put them on the 'net without permission. This is an incredible injustice."
