A few weeks ago, I read the synopsis of the strange movie called The Box. When I found it at redbox, I went for it. This movie was very well done for a low budget film. The story was mind blowing. Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Landella, the stars of this film, do an excellent job of truly getting into character. This science fiction, mystery thriller had me captivated the whole movie. I really think you'll enjoy this movie.


Favorite line:

"So why a box?"
"Your home is a box. Your car is a box on wheels. You drive to work in it and you drive home in it. You sit at home staring at a box. It erodes your soul while the box that is your body inevitably withers then dies whereupon it is placed in the ultimate box to slowly decompose."


The other night I stumbled across a film that must have slipped by me back when it came out. I Spy, starring Eddie Murphy, Owen Wilson, and the beautiful Famke Janssen is a cheesy action comedy that kept me entertained as I relaxed after a long day at work. It was really refreshing to see Eddie in a movie where he's not in a fat suit, talking to animals, or the voice behind one. This film reminds me of some of his earlier works which I grew up with. Anyway, if you can handle a little cheesiness, I think you'll truly enjoy this movie.

My favorite part of the movie:
Eddie: "Put the gun down. Put it down right now."
Famke: "Ok, putting it down. But I'm on your side. I'm with BNS."
Eddie: "Yeah! What does BNS stand for with you? Bitch that need some slappin'?"

Want to see a twisted story about demons trying to cross over to the other side?? Released in 2005, Constantine, a film based of the comic book Hellblazer, delivers just that. This dark and twisted movie kept me wanting to know how it all ends from the very start of the film; and I don't think it disappointed. This is one of the few films I can watch no matter what I'm in the mood to watch. The all start cast featuring Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Sweinto (loves her) and Djimon Hounsou (loves him) come together and deliver one awesome performance. If you haven't seen it yet, add it to your must see list.


Step outside the norm. Checkout some or all of these movies....
