Big list since I haven't posted in a while. I tried to get my list of "need to watch" shortened but every time I watch 4 or 5, I add the same amount... let's get started.
11:14 - Made in 2003 before Crash ever came out, follows the story of a bunch of people and again how they are all connected in one way or another. I purchased it without having ever seen it and it took me over a year to get to it but definitely worth the wait. This is a must see if you enjoyed Crash. The connections do not come full circle until the end and the whole thing in between keeps you gripped! Rental is a must.
Taxi and Taxi 2 - Luc Besson, I think, is one of the greatest directors of all time. He can make an action movie like no one else. The beginning of the Taxi series is no exception. These are amazing, unlike the idiotic american remake. These are both must see's, I have 3 and 4 to watch yet but I am sure they are just as good. Check them out if you can get your hands on them.
Blades of Glory - I was pleasantly surprised. It was funny and entertaining. Jon Heder gets better and better. If you haven't yet heard it is about 2 over the top male figure skaters and their Rise to glory. Worth watching but probably not in the theater.
The Crimson Rivers and Crimson Rivers 2: Angels of the Apocalypse - Sweet! More Jean Reno. By far the best french actor, the more movies I see him in the more I can't get enough. The crimson river set so far is good. The first is based on a private College in a remote area and a series of murders are taking place. Two cops show up and investigate seperate cases and find they are connected. Enough action and suspence to keep the story moving. The second follows another series of murders following a Monk cult. More action and suspence, both worth a watch.
TMNT - The all new, computer animated, Ninja Turtles! Though the movie, I found, overall, was ment for a WAY younger audience it was still fun. The animation was amazing, with exception to April O'Neill's pencil like body and Master Splinters 3 foot beard. The story was lacking for anyone over the age of 13. The turtles saving the world from creatures from another dimension, and it is also mentioned that you should have maybe seen the first 3 live actions. Voice work was great! Definitely one worth taking the kids too.
Fracture - Hopkins plays a husband who finds his wife having an affair and murders her. Being incredibly intelegent removes all evidence that could convict him. A young, up and coming lawyer takes the case thinking it will be his last civil case as he moves into corporate law. Loads of twists and turns and very hard to figure out right until the end. Worth every penny for the theater!
Ghost Rider - Decent action, bad story, bad dialogue, not worth watching. Premiss, guy sells his soul to devil (never a good plan), becomes the devils' bounty hunter, hell on earth. I would hope the comics are better than this. Don't bother.
