Repo Man
Jude Law is not reposssessing cars but he is taking back body parts from people who can't meet their 'loans' on their new parts. However, Law finds himself on the other side and on the run from his repo company. What starts out as a somewhat interesting idea turns into a blood bath. 1 1/2 bananas

Bounty Hunter
Gerrard Butler and Jennifer Anniston add some very funny moments in this comedy of a bounty hunter who is tasked with arresting his ex only to find himself and his ex being tracked down by two separate sinister forces. Movie starts out great, unfortunately loses its mojo. 2 bananas.

Green Zone
George W Bushie will not like Matt Damon in his role of trying to find WMD in Iraq. What Damon does find is a mass conspiracy to draw the US into the war. Well done war movie that moves fast and probably paints a fairly accurate picture as to how the NeoCons conned us into going to war. Definitely worth seeing. 3 bananas

Cop Out
Typical Bruce Willis cop movie. So stupid it's funny at times. Bruce's treasured baseball card(which he was planning on using to pay for his daughter's wedding) is stolen by the Mexican mob, setting Bruce and his partner on mission to recover the card. If you've got nothing better to do this will kill a couple of hours. 1 banana

The Ghost Writer
Smart, stylish and filled with political intrigue and overtones, this Roman Polanski film is a great view. The Prime Minister of England, vacationing on Cape Cod, gets caught up in the political battles of terrorist torture at home while at the sametime finishing his memouirs with a ghost writer who mysteriously is killed. A second ghost writer is called in to finish the book and is caught up in the deepening mysteries surrounding the PM. Keeps you hooked till the end. See it, Crawford forget it! 3 1/2 bananas.

500 Days of Summer
Cute, clever and funny story of a guy who falls in love and gets dumped; and then relives the how's and whys as he works for a greeting card company. One of my favorite actresses, Zoey Deschanel is charming as the girl who can't make a commitment. 2/2 bananas

Shutter Island
Interesting mystery story that is full of twists and surprises. Deputy Federal Marshall(DiCaprio) is called to a remote island that houses the criminally insane to find an inmate who has escaped. To say much more would ruin a good story. See it for good entertainment. 3 bananas

The Last Station
Beautifully filmed era film that should have been nominated for best picture and best actor and actress. Christoffer Plummer and Helen Mirren give Academy award performances in this early 1900s film depicting Leo Tolstoys years after he published War and Peace and the people he surrounded himself and how they tried to influence how he should leave his estate upon his death. Helen Mirren is drop dead GREAT. This factual movie is set on Tolstoys commune outside of Moscow and has some very funny scenes mixed with a couple love stories. Definitely see it before it disappears from the theaters. 4 bananas
