The 007 series continues with Quantum of Solace starring a very dashing Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond.

This movie has big hype and with big acting, big action, and big plot, the film won't let you down.

Appaloosa

Ed Harris was absolutely born to do westerns. In this case, Harris not only stars in the film as the gritty, weathered gunman turned Marshall, but he also directed, co-wrote, and produced it. Look out Clint Eastwood, a new Sheriff is in town. Along side our hardened hero is his deputy, naturally, and Viggo Mortensen depicts the loyal role, well, naturally and perfectly, bringing to life a deep character and making a great Marshall-Deputy team instrumental to any great western.

Righteous Kill

Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. I mean, really, what else do you need? Righteous Kill features these Hollywood Oscar winners as New York detectives hunting a calculating serial killer. Although this movie's plot is a very average cop-thriller type of release, seeing Pacino and DeNiro in classic roles is a delight. These two play perfectly off each other, complimenting each other's styles and acting as if they were not acting. As partners, DeNiro is the hot-headed, impetuous type and Pacino balances him out as the suaver, calmer partner.

Burn After Reading

sally — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 09:17:12 -0500

What do you get when you combine multiple award winning actors on one screen? In this case, a movie that has all the elements of a comedy, drama, thriller, date movie, or horror film, but can be categorized as none of the above. With a cast this big, this movie seems to lack a bit. The overall tone is the same: this film never quite gets moving fast enough or goes far enough but does have its entertaining elements – adultery, spying, murder, car chases, exercise, and, of course, top secret intelligence.

Pineapple Express

Action. Drugs. Bromance. Pineapple Express is just what this summer needs to entertain. With characters as lovable as they are stoned, and a silly plot that keeps you engaged, this is definitely one of those movies that will get funnier and funnier every time you watch it.
