Gone Baby Gone (Ben Affleck)

When a 4-year-old girl goes missing in Dorchester, one of Boston's toughest hoods, private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro (Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan) reluctantly agree to take the case. But the investigation proves tougher, riskier and more complex than they could have imagined. Ben Affleck's directorial debut, adapted from the Dennis Lehane novel, also stars Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman and Amy Ryan (in her first Oscar-nominated role).

movie deserves the hype. I do not really understand how ben can be such a turd burgler and his brother can be so fucking amazing. Great story but hard to talk about without ruining twists, but very well acted by all involved, not overly visually stunning or anything, but ben did a great job picking his cast and portraying this novel.

Be Kind Rewind



When Jerry (Jack Black) accidentally magnetizes his brain, he inadvertently erases all the videos in the rental store his buddy Mike (Mos Def) runs. To please the store's loyal customers, Jerry and Mike set out to produce their own low-rent remakes of the erased films. Danny Glover, Mia Farrow and Paul Dinello also star in this imaginative comedy written and directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

I loved the concept of this movie and pretty well enjoyed the movie. It was a tad bit long and i wish it had more of the movie remakes (sweeded). Jack Black is a pretty good dude when he is not hanging out with petter jackson. I was also pumped to see that this movie was not visually what i was expecting, as in it didn't look like all the hip "indie" movies that come out now, except during the movie shootings (and that should be fanciful). Only other complaint is the lack of Danny Glover being really sweaty.

Lady Snowblood



Revenge is sweet for Yuki (Meiko Kaji), the main character in Toshiya Fukita's violent ballet. Yuki is the daughter of a woman who supported her by working as a prostitute after she was raped by the men who murdered her husband. When Yuki grows up, she decides those men aren't worthy of living full and enriching lives, so she hunts them down one by one on a quest for justice.

another one of the movies that inspired kill bill. Im starting to realize that Quentin Tarantino didn't really even have to write anything for kill bill. A must see for "kung-fu" movie fans, basically the same story as lone wolf, or any other revenge movie, but with a girl. Highly recomend the training scenes. Nothing prepares you for a life as an assassin like rolling down a hill in a beer cask.

Lost Season 1 (J.J. Abrams, and others)
discs 1 and 2


Stranded on a tropical island after their plane crashes 1,000 miles off-course, a group of castaways must learn to survive in their new home -- as well as avoid the gigantic something crashing through the trees and determine whether they really are alone. Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Terry O'Quinn, Dominic Monaghan and Naveen Andrews head up a diverse cast in creator J.J. Abrams's Emmy winner for Best Drama.

pretty much exactly the same as battlestar galactica except on a island instead of in space. Cylons are replaced with ghosts dads (not bill cosby) and invisible monsters (literally and figuratively). They should get rid of the dr. and that kate girl, they are both boring, and driveshaft is the worst band since crucivictorious.
