Synopsis
Clyde Shelton is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice, a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear as Shelton's high-profile targets are slain one after another and the authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep means death. With his own family now in Shelton's crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly adversary who seems always to be one step ahead.

A mismatched pair pushed together on a road trip from South Central L.A. to Oakland, Justice (Jackson) and Lucky (Tupac Shakur) have only one thing in common: they can't stand each other. But as their friends Lesha and Chicago (Regina King and Joe Torry) fight and make up in the back of the van, Justice and Lucky find themselves reluctantly drawn together. After a surprising detour toward romance, the two travelers are confronted once again by the shocking violence they thought they'd left behind.

Synopsis
Nelson (Reeves) and Sara (Theron) have nothing in common except an hour spent in DMV hell. Intrigued by each other, but not quite ready to commit, they settle on a rather unconventional courtship: a one-month trial, after which they'll go their separate ways. No expectations. No pressure. No strings attached. What neither of them counts on is falling in love.
My Review
Though the movie didn't receive much good reviews, it was still a good movie to watch. I am no fan of Keanu Reeves but for me this was one of his finest performance I have ever seen and applause for Charlize Theron as her character was splendid. Some of the scenes might not be direct but what do you expect from a romance movie. It is from those scenes that we must pay attention to in capturing the moment in the film, and to me that made the movie a good watch. Overall I enjoyed watching it mostly on Charlize Theron with her tomboyish look part.

Synopsis
In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.
My Review
The movie started off well enough but as the movie goes on it was as if the story line was jumbled up in a mess. As for the Greek Gods, Apollo only had one line, Hades wasnt evil enough in dressing and Zeus was a bit soft hearted really. Plus the other gods was not involved in the movie, only the name spoken such as Poseidon, Aphrodite and Athena. Bummer cause i would have loved to see Aphrodite. The Fates were nicely portrayed with the eye ball the keep fussing about. My most memorable scene in the movie would have to be the fight against Medusa as for me, Medusa looked awesome really. As the movie came to a close, my thoughts on the movie was, forget Greek Mythology and even story line cause for reference there are many better so the only good thing I could say bout the movie was it's decent fight scene and nice effects. And if your gonna watch Clash of the Titans, go watch the 1981 version which is better in terms of story.
