Alpha Dog

It is suprisingly a good movie, worth the money you spend to see in a theatre. The story was fine and the acting was fine, nothing really bothered me.

Letters from Iwo Jima

Even though it is a depressing movie it is still a great movie to see in the theatre. In my opinion its the best movie Clint Eastwood has ever been a part of.

Haven

Haven is an interesting movie its not everyday you see Shakespearean style stories taking place in the Cayman Islands. Its good enough for the theatre for some people a rental for everyone else.

Code Name: The Cleaner

Its not a very good movie, the jokes were not that funny the story was nothing special. I would say download this movie instead of renting.

The Last King of Scotland

This is a pretty good movie, its missing that little something to make it worthy enough to spend the money to see in the theatre.

Freedom Writers

This is a really good movie its debatable wheather its worth to spend the money to see in the theatre. I would personally rent this movie instead of going to a theatre.

Offside

Its an interesting story but not a lot goes on in this movie. This is more of a rental movie then a movie to see in the theatres.

The U.S. vs. John Lennon

I know very little about John Lennon so for me this movie is very informative. Its not the type of movie I would see in the theatre but it would definitely be something I would rent on DVD.

Arthur and the Invisibles

I was avoiding this movie because it seemed like it was a poorly thought out movie but after watching it I was pleasantly surprised its a very fun movie to take your kids to the theatres.

The Good Shepherd

This movie is more of a rental than it is worth seeing in the theatre. It lacks action and actual spying for it to be worth seeing in the theatre but the story was interesting enough for me to keep my attention. There was only a small part of the story that confused me which involved Matt Damon's son other then that it was a good movie.

Night at the Museum

Its a fun and entertaining movie good enough to see in the theatres. I was surprised to see other big name actors in this movie, which made the movie even more entertaining.

We are Marshall

This is more of a rental movie but even so it is still a good movie. Im glad they focused more on the emotional state of the players, staff, and town instead of focusing on the football. It works in this movie where other sports movies failed to do so.
