Battle of Wits



RENT

With a great story like this one and a brillant actor like Andy Lau, this could have been so much better. It's not bad but there could have been more suspense and action. If I had to compared this to The Banquet, this one needs more work. This could have been a spectacular war film. With a huge cast in China, it definitely could have been the best film of the year.

Lucky Number Slevin



DUMP

Even though there was a nice twist at the end of the story, it was too late to save the movie. I was waiting for something to happen and it took too long to develop. I was starting to wonder what was the the point of the film. This is a disappointment for a stellar cast which included Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Lucky Liu.

Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift



RENT

The acting is horrible and the story is terrible. However, the car chase scenes are incredible. That is the main attraction. You want to see the underground sport of car drifting. It will get your heart pumping. If you want alittle excitement, rent this one.

The Break-Up



BUY

Vince and Jennifer are a great pair and they will keep you interested. There are many funny scenes and you will be able to relate to the situations. Pay attention to the slide show of the couple in the beginning. That was nicely made and a great display at a wedding. The story might not be the most original piece but the superstars make it a must see.

Find Me Guilty



RENT

Vin Diesel is entertaining too watch. He's not spectacular or anything, and probably better in a action flick but this can kill some time. There some good scenes in the courtroom and you will want to stay until the end to see the outcome.

The Da Vinci Code



BUY

This is a terrific mystery and you will be kept in suspense throughout the film. After seeing the movie, you will have doubts on the immortality of Jesus Christ. Also, you will understand more on the history of religion and the development of the mythical Holy Grail. I didn't read the book and don't have an interest in religion but this film interest me. I was particularly interested in the origin of Friday the 13th and the holy templars

Nacho Libre



BUY

If you like stupid funny, you got to go out and buy this DVD. It's so funny. Everytime you see it, you will laugh your butt off. Jack Black will do anything for a laugh and he won't disappoint you here. This man has some talent for being dumb. The music and scenery was just right and made everything just so hilarious. His sidekick reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite and that dude was funny like hell

Besides being a really funny movie, Adam Sandler has a serious side to this film. That really surprised me because you don't expect it from him. It's usually all laughs with him. If you are down in life and want your spirits to be lifted, this film is for you. After watching it, you will cherish more things and enjoy every moment of your time. You don't want to waste it doing nothing because when it's over, you want to have done something with your life.
