Covenant



RENT

Great story and lots of suspense. Usually you will see vampires and werewolves films, but rarely do you see films about witches. They did a great job on making this one interesting. There is plenty of action and you won't be bored. This could have been a DVD buy if they casted some famous people. With the young, pretty, unknown people in this cast, it seem more like a teenager flick.

Little Man



RENT

Funny, very funny. Wayan was great as a little baby. Even though his face was just placed into the body of a baby for the film, he was very realistic. This film is definitely good for some laughs.

Kung Fu Mahjong 2



RENT

If you like Cherrie, you will see a lot of her in this comedy. Usually, she has a costar role but this time she is the main actress. The story is nothing special but you'll get some laughs out of it.

Snakes on a Plane



DUMP

This was a terrible film. I don't understand all the hype about it. I don't understand why Samuel Jackson is pushing for this film. It is a waste of his talent. There are snakes on the film, so what? Whoopee Doo. There's no story and you just see snakes killing people on a plane. Nothing too exciting.

Initial D



RENT

If you like watching Fast and Furious, you will like this one. Same old kind of story. It's nothing new. You watch it just for the fast car scenes. I can't believe Jay Chou won for best new artist for this film. He looked like he was asleep the whole film.

The Next Top Princess



DUMP

Ok, this film was horrible and can cause headaches. The women were attractive but their voices will slowly get you annoyed. Story was terrible and looks like a low budget film.

You, Me, and Dupree



DUMP

Not worth watching. Mostly a waste of time. Owen Wilson isn't that funny, and this romantic comedy does not work. Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson are just another couple that we don't really care enough about to watch. Why did Michael Douglas show up for this bomber?

All the King's Men



DUMP
I hate Sean Penn, so this film doesn't help his cause. It was boring. If you are not into politics, heavy politics, skip this one. There's a shocking ending but it was all not worth the watch. There some good speeches made by Sean Penn too, but overall, boring stuff. It's quite disappointing with a cast that also include Jude Law and Kate Winslet.

JackAss 2



RENT

Nothing new from the original, but still an entertaining watch. There's some gross scenes so if you stomach can't take it, you might not want to rent it. Or you can always close your eyes. For some of the things these guys do, they deserve all the big bucks that are paid to them.

Seven Swords



DUMP
This was trash. There are lots of things happening but nothing is exciting to watch. The cast included a list of popular names such as Leon and Charlie, but skip this one. Basically, 7 morons running around with swords.

Superman Returns



RENT

If you are not a fan of Superman, skip this one. If you compare this to the other Superman movies, this one is horrible. You would think we are now in 2007 and there should be some super villian for Superman to fight but it's still the same old Lex Luther. After you watch this one, you will really be disappointed. Maybe it's the person playing Superman too. He isn't as good as Christopher Reeve. Also, the flying scenes looks fake. That is horrible considering the old films made it look very realistic.

Miami Vice



RENT
We got some great A list actors in this film, so it must be a good film right? Wrong. The story was horrible. It did not do justice to the all popular Miami Vice detective shows. You would think if they had to pick one detective case to represent this show, it would be something packed with action and excitement, but that was not the case. The only reason to watch this film is probably for Gong Li. She was incredible posing as a Cuban businesswoman in the mob scene. She was very realistic. Gong danced like a Cuban, spoke like a Cuban, and looked like a Cuban. If you didn't know her background, you would think she was Cuban.

World Trade Center



RENT

If you want to experience and remember the tragedy of 9/11, this is the film for you. There will be lots of videos from that actual day. You will feel like you were right there when the buildings fell. In terms of being a good film, it isn't an exciting film. Two men are stuck in a dark hole at the bottom of the Trade Center and they are fighting to survive. It really wasn't too interesting to watch. This film is better off being just a documentary.

Talladega Nights



RENT

Will Ferrell is always funny and always make for a great laugh, but he never makes it to the top. If you seen his other films, you will know what I mean. He's funny and that's really it. There's some seriousness to it but as a comedian, he doesn't pull off Oscar material. If you want to enjoy a funny film, he's definitely your man. You got to love his line, "If you ain't first, you'll last."
