State of Play

Always looking for the next big story Cal McCaffrey (Russell Crowe) stumbles upon more than he bargained for when he begins a story about the death of a Congressman's aide. The death is believed to be a suicide but upon further investigation found to be murder that could in turn lead to enough corruption to impact the entire Nation's power structure. I enjoyed this movie because it had enough to keep you guessing and is filled with a great cast.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Did you ever wonder about the story behind the X-Men superheros? This movie finally tells the story about Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) from his family to how he ended up with knives in his hands. An action packed movie that us adrenaline junkies will enjoy.

The International

Clive Owen plays Louis Salinger an Interpol agent working tirelessly to bring down a corrupt bank he believes in dealing in arms. Every time he gets a witness that will finally help him crack the case they end up dead. I found this movie boring and disappointing.

W

Josh Brolin plays George W. Bush in this movie about the previous President's rise to the White House and actions during office. Whether you like this movie or not will probably depend on your thoughts about the previous President.

Changeling

Angelina Jolie stars in this, based on a true story, drama about a single mother whose sons goes missing. Instead of admitting they cannot solve the crime a corrupt police department forces her to admit that another boy is her son. She has to decide to accept this new boy as her own or fight the police department and take the chance of never finding her real son.

Recount

This movie is about the 2000 Presidential election and all that happened during the voting mix-ups in the close election between Bush and Gore. I found this an interesting movie to watch and it does cause you to wonder "what if".

Speed Racer

After the death of his racing legend older brother, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is determined to be as great of racer as his brother was. When some corrupt bad guys try to take over it is up to Speed Racer and another mysterious driver to save the sport. Even with a great cast this ended up being a very cheesy movie with way overdone special effects.

The Bank Job

Jason Statham stars in this movie about a bank robbery that goes smoothly at first, but has some complications when all the bad guys that they stole from get involved. Not Statham's best movie, but action junkies will still enjoy it.

Michael Clayton

Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is the clean up guy for a major corporate law firm and is great at what he does. He keeps the firm out of trouble and the clients happy. When one of the firms' lawyers and Clayton's friend (Tom Wilkinson) goes crazy and decides to work against the firm Clayton is called in to clean up the mess. This time he is torn between his job and what he knows is right. The movie is a little slow at the beginning, but if you can get through the first part it keeps getting better. I thought it was worth watching!
