The Last Don 2



DUMP
The original was much better than this sequel. There is not much going on at this point. The only reason you would see this part is to see the ending. If you want to see hordes of people getting whacked, this is the one for you. Just mindless whacking.

The Last Don should have ended in the first disc.

Fever Pitch



RENT
Jim Fallon and Drew Barrymore has chemistry in this film about a man who is obsessed with the Boston Red Sox. Because of his quirk hobby, relationship are difficult for him. The characters are very likable and you want to see the happy ending, even though all romantic comedies end happy.

Wimbledon



RENT
Kirsten Dunst is remarkably cute in her role as a top tennis player who falls in love with a lower ranking British player. She is inspirational and supportive bringing his game up to the top.

Tons of tennis footage so if you are just looking for a romantic comedy, this might be kind of a drag. If you want to see how dreams are made true, check this one out.

The Longest Yard



RENT
Adam Sandler and Chris Rock had some good laughs but this is nothing spectacular. Even though it was a remake of a great movie, there was nothing great about this one. It was a good movie to pickup and have a good laugh. That's it.

It is a bonus if you love football because the second half of the movie is all football footage. Definitely a movie with a nice concept but it doesn't show in this version.

Mariah Carey: Fantasy



BUY
The concert was poorly recorded but Mariah has an incredible voice. Sometimes she should use less vibrato, but I guess that was what made her a superstar. The stage was also poorly designed, but her focus was on the music.

There was a guest appearance by Boy II Me singing One Sweet Day. Overall, a short concert that was mediocre.

The Hitchhiker Guide



RENT
A weird but interesting movie. The film starts off in a very weird way, but it gets more logical. If you always wonder the origin of Earth and things in general, this one will explain it all. You might not understand most of the explanations but an answer to life questions are provided.

Marvin, the robot with the manic depressive personality is laughingly funny and the weird theme song is surprisingly very catchy.

Crash



BUY
This is a good film to watch. Lots of famous celebrities such as Don Cheadle, Terrence Howard, Sandra Bullock, Brandan Fraser, Jennifer Esposito, and Matt Dillon. With so much popular faces, you know this will be a production with a great story.

The movie tackles racism and prejudices. It exposes all the evil that everyone is afraid to look at and face. The characters all start out as strangers to each other but all somehow collide and affect each other's lives. A inspirational and brilliant piece.

Destiny Child's World Tour



DUMP
A very boring concert. Destiny Child had some great music videos but their concert was horrible. The audience was loud and you could hardly hear the singing. Also, many of the songs were remixed and quite frankly, they suck. Also, it looked like Beyonce gained like 30 pounds. Jayz, stop feeding the girl.

Twin Effects II



DUMP
Everytime you watch a movie from Twins, you expect a teen style movie and this film adds to the list. All the actions look like a joke. The battle between good and evil is so silly that you never feel that anything was at stake.

Jackie Chan's son is the soon to be king of the realm and he looks nothing like the part. What happened to all the muscle power that his Dad had? This kid will unfortunately amount to nothing. Yet another person in film who has a famous Dad.

Naked Weapon



BUY
This film is hot. Maggie Q and Anya are trained assassins who can kill with the blink of an eye. Lots of action and lots of teasing.

The story is a simple one. Young girls are kidnapped at a young age and trained to be killing machines. Can you imagine spending six years in an isolated island with 20 friends and having to kill them all to survive?

The Wedding Date



DUMP
Worthless movie. It's a total waste of time. Debra Messing was good in some scenes but mostly boring. A story about a woman who goes to her sister's wedding and hires a male escort to be her date. Good idea for a romantic comedy but it didn't work.

Monster in Law



DUMP
The only reason to see this flick is for Jennifer Lopez. The movie was not especially dramatic, funny, or interesting to watch. The chemistry between Lopez and the male lead was clearly nonexistent.

Maid of Manhattan was a much better movie.

Five People You Meet in Heaven



RENT
Even though there were no famous faces, this is a meaningful movie. It shows that everything in life is connected. Everything you do will affect someone and will have some sort of relevance. If you are down and don't know what you are doing with your life, watch this film. It will give you hope and inspiration.

Next time, you do a bad thing, think of the consequences because in your next life, you will have to answer to it.

The Last Don



BUY
This film is comparable to GodFather. There were no famous faces in this mob story, but it was an awesome mini series. Throughout the story, you are kept in suspense and the characters are so real. Even though it was more than four hours, you are still interested in watching till the end. I recommend this film.

Mario Puzio does not disappoint.

JLo: Reel Me



BUY
Jennifer Lopez is fabulous in her music videos. This set comes with a commentary before every song and she looks amazing. Not only does she look incredibilty sexy, but she has a great voice and acting ability. Looking at her cheers you up. She is upbeat and always smiling.

This is a collector's item. The set also comes with a CD of songs.

Madonna:Drowned World Tour



BUY
The first part of the concert is a mix of punk rock and japanese anime. Really weird, but you come to expect this from Madonna. I enjoyed the second part more because she was more normalized. She sang some of her old songs. Overall, a very long concert. If you don't enjoy her, pass on this one.
