Wow, totally screwed me out of my 1-1/2 hours of life. This
movie blew. Not scary. Little if any action. All psychological
and none of it makes sense. The cover is extremely misleading.
Avoid at all costs.

Yo Mac, are you getting all your rentals by way of your local
Library? That's what I have been doing lately. I just wish I
knew earlier that my Library was doing this before. It was
during my book binge that I saw they were carrying shit loads of
DVD's. It use to be just VHS, which for obvious reason never
appealed to me to check out.
PS, I won't be looking to check out Yellowbrickroad.

Man, I've been promoting my library for a long time. I can get
just about anything. They go as far as having a process to query
other libraries around the country. Even colleges. It's a
goldmine

So this looked hopeful in the trailer, but then again, I think I
confused it with Blue Crush 2. As we are watching the trailers
in the beginning, most of them were from the maker of Fireproof
which has a huge religious slant and message. Unfortunately
this had the same. Not overwhelming, but enough to hit you over
the head. The acting was very mediocre, but the script was
horrible. Despite this based on a true story, there really isn’t
much to a story here. Felt I wasted a lot of time on a very
bland movie.

The Warrior's Way

What a visual treat. Can't really compare it to anything I've
seen before. Each frame is thought out and maximized to tell
this graphic story of warrior, who doesn't speak much but has
become the best swordsman in the world, escapes with child in
tow to America. He happens to stop in a town full of circus
folks to give it an even more odd bunch of characters. The
pacing is good, the action is excellent. The visuals are
amazing.
Looking at rottentomatoes, this is not everyone's cup of tea.
But I enjoyed it on many levels. Highly recommend it if your
looking for something different.

I rather enjoyed The Reef. A small budget but rather high
tension engaging film. Very reminiscent of Open Water, but this
film kicks up the tension quite a few notches. In fact, once the
boat capsizes, the tension really never lets up. While you know
what’s coming, I still got involved with the movie because of
the characters, the editing, the filming and the music. I
recommend at least a rental for shark night movie.
