Story: A teen living under house arrest becomes convinced his neighbor is a serial killer.
Review: Watch out A list stars, because Shia LaBeouf is rising to fame faster than you can get your Mercedes washed! It is such a delight to final find a young actor that can act. "Disturbia", is what you want in a suspense thriller. It has a good story (jumped a few times) and the acting is on par. So, if your looking for a good suspense movie you won't be disappointed with this one.

Live Free or Die Hard
Story: John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically shutting down the United States.
Review: If you were looking for the old school John McClane; well he's not in part four of the movie series. That was what was most disappointing to me. If your not a fan of the "Die Hard" series then you can really enjoy this film. It is well made and has all the elements of an action film. But its not great. It's not like the first 2 (not a huge fan of 3 either); but I was hoping for the same feel. So save your money and rent this one.

Waitress
Story: Jenna is a pregnant, unhappily married waitress in the deep south. She meets a newcomer to her town and falls into an unlikely relationship as a last attempt at happiness.
Review: "Waitress" is a delicious slice of finely crafted cinema! Our fillings are delightfully quirky characters and a bittersweet story. Kerri Russell does an outstanding job as Jenna as well as her wayward husband Earl, played by Jeremy Sisto. Jenna's friends Becky (Cheryl Hines) and Dawn (Adrienne Shelly) performances were top notch.
Check out this wonderfully sweet story!

Knocked Up
Story: For fun loving party animal Ben Stone, the last thing he ever expected was for his one night stand to show up on his doorstep eight weeks later to tell him she's pregnant.
Review: This film made me laugh out loud from beginning to end. However, it is extremely crude, so if anyone gets easily offended you may want to pass. A beautiful, successful woman and an out of work stoner, find themselves with a bun in the oven; what could be a better recipe for a blockbuster hit? Even though it was difficult to extend my disbelief that Katherine Heigel's character would ever think of looking at Ben Stone, let alone have his baby, the movie was still worth watching at least once.

Fantastic 4: The Rise of the Silver Surfer
Story: The Fantastic Four learn that they aren't the only super-powered beings in the universe when they square off against the powerful Silver Surfer and the planet-eating Galactus.
Review: The story wasn't any great shake; but I will give the movie two thumbs up for the CGI. The Silver Surfer graphics were sleek and eye catching. No surprises here - the story line is stale and the comedic element is minimal. Pretty much what you see in the trailer is what you get in the movie. However, even with its obvious failings it was an enjoyable flick that numbs the mind for 92 minutes.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Story: Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.
Review: If you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2, then you most definitely have seen three. It is a pity, because I really like Johnny Debt, Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly's acting. It is too bad they had to do the same movie twice!

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is a must see film. For all those people who like Reality TV; well this is a net flick's rental that you can't afford to miss.
Al Gore does a brilliant job explaining how we came to royally mess up the environment and how we can reverse the tide of global warming. It's a fact filled film and it is told by our former Vice President of the United States. So, if you think he is being bias and you want to "hear" the other side's facts and opinions. Well, I ask you who is the other side? The polar bear that has to swim 60 miles to find land (ice); only to find in its place more water? Or that at least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.
I may be paraphrasing Al Gore here, but it is a great quote: "It's not the earth that I am worried about, its the humans". - Al Gore, An Inconventient Truth (novel)
Enough said. Save the humans. Join Al Gore (who was totally robbed of the presidency)at www.climatecrisis.net
