Stealth
RENT
A good selection of original music and some great flight sequences. This isn't exactly Top Gun, but you got some good cinema in the air. However, the story is weak and there isn't much relationships among the characters. Even when there is death, you hardly give a damn.

God of Cookery
RENT
If you seen Steven Chow's movies, this is another one of them. There are some really funny scenes and you will enjoy an evening laughing at some of the dumbness in the characters. Mok Mun Wai was great in her portrayal of a noodle street vendor and it's great that an actress has courage to perform such a role.

Love For All Seasons
DUMP
With so many films out there, you probably shouldn't waste your time on this one. It's a story about a woman who has to have her heart broken to learn the highest level sword skill. The outcome is predictable and starts to not make sense at the end. Definitely, a waste of Sammi Cheng's ability as an actress.

Kingdom of Heaven
RENT
Orlando Bloom is decent as a knight in the Crusades, fighting for the people of Jerusaleum. Incredible scenes of the land and some good battle scenes. There are some boring long pauses in the film but there are some good speeches of war. Orlando made for a good warrior and was much better than Colin Farrell in Alexander.

DownFall
RENT
A very realistic movie on the last 10 days of Hitler's life. He is trapped in a bunker and he is losing the war. This film takes you into his life and how he controls Germany and its people in his last hours. There have been many war films on Hitler, but this is a totally different film that focuses more on the man behind the war and killings, rather than the fightings of war. A great performance by the actors and a must see for history buffs.

Spy Game
RENT
This is a great film with Robert Redford and Bratt Pitt. This could be one of the best spy movie of all time with magnificient moves and strategies. Redford is a CIA coordinator who has to save his pal Pitt who is imprisioned in Su Chou, China. The film is filled with suspense and you are always guessing what is Redford's next move. The problem with buying such a great movie is that you wouldn't want to see it again because you know what will happen next.
Sky High
RENT
If you are a kid at heart and still like to watch superheroes, this is the film for you. This is a borderline kid movie, but gets away with it. It's a story about two superhero parents who has a boy attending High School who doesn't have superpowers. Along with facing teenage problems, he has to stress over his powers. Some great moments which as usual, the hero triumphs.

Bad News Bears
DUMP
Unless you are a kid, pass on this one. Billy Bob wasn't too spectacular and he was much more funny in Bad Santa. Throughout the film, there are just kids running around everywhere dealing with dumb kid problems. If this was another underdog movie, it did a terrible job. What the hell is a moral win?
