Memoirs of a Geisha

BUY
This was a well put together story of a woman who had to become a geisha to survive. If you always wonder what is the history behind a geisha, this film will reveal all the secrets. Zhang ZiYi was amazing as usual, and we all wait for her next film.

Transamerica

RENT
Felicity Huffman was incredible. I don't know how she pulled it off. She definitely should have won the Oscar for her performance. I don't any actress in Hollywood that has the courage to play a transgender. "Oh no, not look beautiful. Can't have that happen." She was very believable and the story wasn't too shabby either.

Ultraviolet

DUMP
There were some extraordinary action scenes with swords and guns, but the dialogues were horrible. Whoever wrote the screenplay needs to kill themself. Also, the acting was horrible. Nothing was realistic and it seems like the actors were reading off a piece of paper. Don't see it.

Proof

DUMP
A very realistic performance from Gwyneth Paltrow, where she is the daughter of a deceased math genius. It didn't have much of a story, but the acting was great. There was some suspense but it was mostly drama. If you have movies to watch, you can probably skip this one.

The New World

RENT
It was a good story of Pocahontas, but be prepare for a very long watch. After two hours, you wonder when it will end. She was casted well, but goddamnit, they dragged it out too long. After awhile, you lose interest in the woman or her well being. It sounds evil, but you want her dead after awhile and hoping Colin Farrell will just wipe her out, but thus he doesn't end her misery.

Even though Bruce Willis wasn't that great to watch, it was a good story. So here's the question. Answer in the movie. If there was a hurricane, and you can only save one person in your car, who would you save: an old woman, your best friend who saved you many times, or the girl(man) of your dreams?

Underworld: Evolution

BUY
Not as good as the first one, but still packed with tons of action. You will see lots of vampires and wearwolves, and that's worth the price of admission. If you saw the first one, this one also gives you a history of the Covenant. If you a like movies such as Blade, this is also a great one.

Prime

RENT
Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep are extraordinary actresses and their star power shows in this film. Fantastic acting makes the story believable. A film about a woman who has recently been divorced and lost interest in life until she falls in love with a younger man. Sometimes it is better to have loved, learned, and moved on.

Match Point

RENT
Woody Allen created a great story of suspense and excitement. Scarlett was wonderful and she escalated the tension in the film. She has come along way from movies such as Lost in Translation. There wasn't a famous leading man, but the plot kept you guessing and interested. The ending will surely surprise you. Just when you thought this would happen, something else happens.
