Dog Bite Dog



DUMP

This is a dark and gloomy movie. Very violent and not very exciting to watch. Lots of killings and brutality that doesn't add up to anything. If you want to see what Edison did before his scandal, take a peek at this one.

Harry Potter and Order Phoenix



RENT

I can't believe this series is still going. Well, it's back again and it's not bad. It's getting old but there's enough new tricks to keep you interested. Big props to the people who create the world because that is what keeps people coming back for more..and maybe the story of Harry Potter.

SuperBad



RENT

There's some funny scenes. It's not bad for a film with no A list celebrities. There's alot of swearing and profanity, so if that's not your stuff, this isn't for you.

We Are Marshall



RENT

It's a true story of a sports team that is lost in a plane accident. A inspirational film about how a school rebuilds a football team that has been long gone. It's not all bad.

Wise Guys Never Die



DUMP
A story of a con artist that is probably not worth watching. There isn't anything exciting, except if you want to watch the famous Wong Jing on the big screen again.

Beowulf



RENT

A nicely done cgi film. It has a great story and takes you into the fantasy voyage of a hero and king. I just don't understand why they want to "lose" such a great piece to animation. I think it would have been so much better if it wasn't digitized. Just use real humans. I'm sure they can find someone that looks like Beowulf. If you watch the extras, it takes alot of effort to digitize a film. I guess the upside is that you can save tons of money.

Blood Brothers



BUY

Amazingly, this turned out to be a real good movie. It really immersed you into the underground world of Shanghai. The visuals and music helps to put you into this world of evil. It would have been even better if they took some time to develop the characters and events. Things were happening at a fast pace and the next thing you know, the village boy was the boss of whole Shanghai. That was just too unbelievable.

310 to Yuma



RENT

I never watch westerns because they seem dull, but this one was different. Maybe, it's because it's a modern version of westerns. Russell Crowe was great as the villian who has a good heart. If you don't like cowboy story, watch this one and it might change your mind. There's some good gun slinging action and a good story to keep you in suspense.
