seven out of ten
A divorced father looks to have a relationship with his teenager daughter by moving close by and pushing away his dangerous CIA-like past. His daughter decides, against his will, to go on a trip to Paris where she gets kidnapped and possibly sold off into slavery. This short action packed film is about the father getting his daughter back. Though I knew how the story would play out the acting and the fast paced editing kept me hooked. I would highly recommend this movie to you if you're looking for a fun thriller superficial but entertaining.

The International
two out of ten
K finds the movie interesting but I thought it stunk to high heaven. This is a movie about an evil bank and two people determined to put them out of business. The bank deals in international arms weapons as a means to give out lots of debt so they can make loads of money and only a few people know the truth. They are determined to do anything to stop the bank. This movie is like a million movies before it, same old hack. It plays out like a made for TV movie. I'd give it one out of ten stars but for the fact that K liked it alright so I figured I should bump it up one to be polite.

Disturbia
five out of ten
I hate horror films and so when Kashif selected this flick for our movie watching pleasure I protested and squirmed and made pouty faces. Turns out I didn't really need to do that as Disturbia, while disturbing, isn't really all that creepy after all.
The boy in the film is under house arrest for three months and as a result has way too much time on his hands. He spends his time watching his neighbors in particular the cute girl next door and the creepy neighbor down the street. The movie watches those two relationships evolve.
I felt like this movie was a mature Scream. Its entertaining, slightly obvious, and not very scary at all.

Match Point
eight out of ten
This is not your typical Woody Allen movie. And thankfully Woody Allen does not star in it. A former tennis pro who now trains the rich and spoiled befriends a wealthy student who takes him in as his own. His sister takes a liking to the tennis pro and he takes a liking for his friends fiancee. The movie takes off from there. If you want a suspenseful movie that keeps you at the edge of your seat this is your movie. Its an unexpected thriller you just cannot predict. I loved it and enjoyed each twist and turn. Upon retrospect though the reason I give it eight out of ten is I wish he did more to develop the characters and their motives and reasons for doing what they do. But still- its a good movie. And it makes you think.
