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.

Perfect Stranger

BUY
As usual, Halle Berry is an awesome actress and shocks viewers in this incredible thriller. Side by side with Bruce Willis, this is a must watch film to get you wanting for more. Just went you thought it was over, there's a new element injected into the plot and things change. You will never guess what will happen next. An ending that will shock you is what the audience craves for in a great thriller.

The Fountain

DUMP
This film convinced me that good movie ideas are horrible without A list celebrities. In fact, I might never rent a movie without a cast that is famous. A concept of a fountain of youth is interesting, but this was total trash. It was boring and confusing to understand.

Fracture

RENT
I watched this on the plane and it was on a small screen but Anthony Hopkins was very captivating and kept me in suspense. It was a nice thriller and I was wondering what will happen next. This would be a BUY if the movie wasn't so dark and there was a better ending. A great film like this deserves a nice solid ending. Don't just give it an ending to end it.

Black Dahlia

DUMP
This was a horrible mystery film to watch. Some famous people in this one made it look "great" but it sure was boring. The unsolved, original mystery was an interesting watch in the DVD extras but the film was a disappointment. The mood was there, but nothing was happening.

Deja Vu

BUY
A very nice story that keeps you in suspense. You will always be wondering what will happen next. A great science fiction thriller of how Denzel goes back in the past and tries to change the tragedy that would occur. Didn't you ever wonder how great that would be to change the past.

Confession of Pain

RENT
This is a dark mystery of a cop with a secret past. You won't know until the end why things are happening. Everything looks okay from the outside, but there are lots of hidden things. Shu Qi, and Takeshi Kaneshiro accents could get on your nerves, especially when they are communicating with each other.

The Ilusionist

RENT
I never get tired of Edward Norton's film. He is a spectacular actor, and his films always have a sense of mystery and suspense. This one will leave you hanging till the end. You will wonder how the biggest magic trick of the century is pulled off. It's amazing!

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

Poseidon

BUY
I didn't expect this to be any good, especially since it was a remake of an old film. Also, to follow in the footsteps of Titanic is not an easy task. However, Wolfgang was able to produce a very realistic and suspenseful journey for us in the destruction of a cruise ship after a big wave hits it. Kurt Russell and Joshua Lucas were heroes in their own rights, and led the group in survival and escape. Can you imagine having a group of people lives in your hands and you can lose one at any time?

Sentinel

RENT
A film on the attempted assassination of the President, starring Michael Douglas and Eva Longeria. If you are seeing this film for Eva, you will be disappointed. She is not as interesting as her role in Desperate Housewives. However, there is a great plot, and Michael keeps you interested. You want to see what will happen next, and how a secret service agent can outwit everyone.

Basic Instinct 2

BUY
A very suspenseful erotic thriller that is a sequel to the popular Basic Instinct. A number of years have passed by, but Sharon Stone is still as alluring as ever. I haven't watch the original yet, but this one kept me interested. The plot was fast and exciting. Be sure to watch the extras if you want to see more of Mrs. Stone.

Constant Gardener

DUMP
These political thrillers are really not working out for me. I understand that it is not an action movie, but the politics aren't even exciting. The plot just doesn't pull me in. This time, it's a story of Africa and how US companies are testing pharmaceutical drugs on helpless civilians. Exposing the truth is a heroic action, but please make it interesting.

Flight Plan

RENT
A good film that has lots of suspense. If you think you know what's going to happen next, you are mistaken. A nice surprise ending. Audience will never expect this outcome. Amazingly, an ending that is not given away in the movie trailer.

Jodie Foster is terrific as a one woman show.

Spy Game

RENT
This is a great film with Robert Redford and Bratt Pitt. This could be one of the best spy movie of all time with magnificient moves and strategies. Redford is a CIA coordinator who has to save his pal Pitt who is imprisioned in Su Chou, China. The film is filled with suspense and you are always guessing what is Redford's next move. The problem with buying such a great movie is that you wouldn't want to see it again because you know what will happen next.

Convicted

DUMP
A very predictable movie with no twists at all. Everything that you imagine will happen. It was not interesting to watch. Could have been a good story of a district attorney's journey to save a woman who is on deathroll, but this film falls short of a good plot.

The Final Cut

RENT
An interesting film to watch. If you liked Minority Report, you will like this one too. A science thriller where you can watch replays of people's lives when they die. Imagine that. When you attend funerals in the future, you will see their lives as a movie. How weird would that be?

Jacket

DUMP
This movie was really terrible. It is so gloomy, depressing, and boring. I thought Adrian Brody could have some great thriller out, but this is trash. Throughout the movie, all you see is a man who has flashbacks because he has been shot in the head. Adrian was great in Pianist but this is total junk.

Even the Manchurian Candidate was better than one.

Devil Rejects

RENT
If it wasn't for the fact that this was such a gross and sick movie, I would tell you to buy it. There are all sorts of dismemberment and blood in this movie. Some films hint at the brutality and torture, but this film shows it. That is really gruesome. For example, Sin City was a bloody movie but most of the gore was not shown.

The cast was really awesome and the twisted characters they portrayed were nicely done. The film takes you into their world and how they live it. The realism that Rob Zombie created is horribly interesting and exciting.

If you enjoyed House of 1000 Corpses, you will enjoy this one too. This is the horror movie of the next century.

Cellular

RENT
Can you believe that they can make another movie similar to PhoneBooth? The whole movie you see Kim Basinger talking on a broken phone to a guy on a cellphone. How ridiculous is that? Some cast members you might recognize is the man in Transporter and the man in The Cooler.

Some suspense, but I wouldn't want to watch it again.
