The Good Shephard

DUMP
Even though this film was directed by Robert DeNiro, it was totally boring. It moves slow and there is no suspense at all. I don't know what he was doing. If he was trying to appeal to the general audience, he is making a mistake. There's a famous cast like Matt Damon and Angeline Jolie, but unless you are into movies about conspiracy, this film will make you go to sleep.

Blood Diamond

RENT
This film takes you into a third world country and shows you their civil war. This is Africa. The country has been used for many exploits and other countries pay big money for items such as diamonds and ivory. A brutal behind scenes of how it is to survive in Africa with a constant state of war. Leo plays a diamond mercenary from Africa and with his accent, he is a very believable character.

Norbit

RENT
This is worth it to see the many faces of Eddie Murphy. He plays three main characters and they each are very believable. Also, there were some funny scenes but wish there were more of those funny moments. It seems like all the best scenes were shown in the trailer. Look for Shawn Wayans. You will never recognize him.

Epic Movie

DUMP
This movie was horrible. There were some parts that shouldn't be shown on TV, but for the sake of laughter, it was done. The only problem was that the scenes were not funny. This was a spoof gone bad. It looked like a video taken off the youtube website. It was amateur movie making.

Apocalypto

BUY
Mel Gibson's films are always spectacular. There are no famous actors but he manages to capture the audience with his brilliant visual effects. If you feel faint seeing sight of blood, this is not the film for you. Like most of Mel's films, they depict gore and guts spilling out of everywhere. In this movie, the Mayan indians are at war with themselves and it is a perfect historial representation of their culture. Mel has not lost his magic yet since Passion of the Christ.

DreamGirls

BUY
It was better than I expected. Beyonce made a stunning musical performance in a wide assortment of looks, showing variety in her character. With a good selection of song choices, it was entertaining to watch this musical drama of three girls' dream to rise to the top of the music charts.

The Devil Wears Prada

RENT
If you watched Devil's Advocate, this is very similar to that movie. This isn't about law, but the glamorous world of fashion. Ann Hathaway was a girl next door until she is seduced into the world of Meryl Streep's character. Look for a few screens of Gisele Bundchen.

It's a Wonderful Life

RENT
It's an assortment of funny jokes for the Lunar New Year. Sometimes they don't make sense but it's all for fun and laughter. There is a theme involved and still happens to keep you interested. A kid was promised help from a God when he was in trouble, and the God has to fullfil his wish when the kid grew up.
