Live Free or Die Hard



RENT

Bruce Willis doesn't disappoint. Never much of a story, but lots of explosions and action. That's what the audience really wants anyways from the Die Hard series. This time it makes it more interesting with it being related to technology and how it can put the world at its knees. You'll also get to see Maggie Q as the evil assistant here.

Home of the Brave



DUMP

Not much of a story. It's kind of a waste of Samuel Jackson's talent. Definitely could have been better. An emotional story of soldiers who come back from a war who has lost touch with reality. A nice concept for a film, but the incidents of war were not dramatic enough to be touching. If you want to catch 50 cents in another movie, this could be a casual watch.

Mr. Brooks



BUY

A well put together story. All the pieces fall in place at the end. This is a perfect thriller, leaving you at the edge of your seat. You can't somehow feel not to root for the serial killer. He's so good at what he does that you almost don't want him to be caught. If you liked the tv sitcom, Dexter, you will love Kevin Costner as Mr. Brooks. All the characters were created for a cause and that's a great film.

Ocean 13



BUY

This is a well put together story. The best scam of all time. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen next. It also helps that most of the cast are A list celebrities. If you love Brad Pitt and George Clooney, they come back here for another installation. This time you will also get Al Pacino as the villian. Now that's marvelous. It kind of reminds you of a subdued version of Scarface.

Reign Over Me



RENT

I was abit disappointed by this film. I had higher expectations for it and I thought that they could have done even better with it. Cheadle and Sandler could have brought it in more. It was a touching film but it just wasn't there yet. It kind of drops off at the end.

My Mother is a Belly Dancer



DUMP

This is a horrible show. It was boring, boring, and boring. There was no point to it and everything moved so slow. Whoever directed this film should lose their license. The movie was just a waste of time, looking at objects that hardly move.

A Mighty Heart



RENT

If you want to see the inside story of Daniel Pearl, this is a good watch. It's a touching story of a reporter who wandered into enemy lands and is kidnapped by Al Qaida. If the US don't meet their demands, he will be executed. It is his wife's struggle that keeps him from drifting off into just memories and to keep his search alive.

Transformers



BUY

This movie definitely exceeded my expectation. I grew up watching the cartoon version, and this version of the movie was way cool. The robots were realistic and you will be blown away by their size and appearance. Megatron vs Optimus Prime. How can you miss their battle?
