Great one-liners and very creative.
Man on FireMan on Fire

I was told not to bother with this, I'm glad I did. It's emotional but not a total soap opera.
The Brave One (Widescreen Edition)The Brave One (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $0.07
While it times comes off as a rip-off of Death Wish it's still holds its own.
Michael Clayton (Widescreen Edition)Michael Clayton (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $5.50
I usually hate films that are about corporate scandal, but this watchable.
Gone Baby GoneGone Baby Gone
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.65
When I heard directed by Ben Affleck and staring Casey Affleck I wasn't interested, but I Loved it!! If Ben does more movies like this I might become a fan. This was better than at least three of the five 2007 Best Picture Nominees.

After a long Hiatus Jodi Foster came back with a bang for a movie.

Not Bruce's best but you'll enjoy it all the same.
Unbreakable (Two-Disc Vista Series)Unbreakable (Two-Disc Vista Series)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.49
I hated this when I first saw it because I thought it would be like the Sixth Sense, but its a great watch especially for comic fans.
Signs (Vista Series)Signs (Vista Series)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.39
The last notable film with Mel Gibson on the screen. Very different take on an alien invasion.
The ForgottenThe Forgotten
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01
Not as great as the trailor made it look. Still we won't be bored.
Blood WorkBlood Work
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.01
If you like Clint Eastwood cop flicks this will deliver the goods even though it's not his greatest movie.
Fracture (Widescreen Edition)Fracture (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.48
Anthony Hopkins delievers another great performance. If you like courtroom dramas this is for you.
Cellular (New Line Platinum Series)Cellular (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.01
A thriller that expresses how relevant cell phones have become in society. If you need more convincing, William H. Macy is in it.
The ReapingThe Reaping
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $1.95
While this will come off as ordinary in the beginning it gets better once it gets going. The last thirty minutes and overall conclusion were I thought different and impressive.
The PrestigeThe Prestige
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.99
While the ending I felt was a cop out Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale give solid performances. It'll make the movie more fun if you side with one character.
The Illusionist (Widescreen Edition)The Illusionist (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.28
This film didn't get as much attention as the Prestige, but it's just as good.
The Number 23 (Unrated Infinifilm Edition)The Number 23 (Unrated Infinifilm Edition)
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $0.34
This was the first non-comedy of Jim Carrey's that I really enjoyed. A lot of people hated this, but I encourage to go in with an open mind.
Breach (Widescreen Edition)Breach (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.52
Any movie that involves government agents and spys is usually a winner.
Collateral (Two-Disc Special Edition)Collateral (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01
Tom Cruise was always better as the bad guy.
Disturbia (Widescreen Edition)Disturbia (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.15
I'm not a Shia LaBeouf fan, but this was a fun little thriller.
Hard CandyHard Candy
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.95
This won't be for everybody. Very intense acting and very intense subject. Ellen Page shows off her great acting in the very very dark film.
Hart's WarHart's War
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.19
Not your typical World War 2 film, I felt they were holding back on the reality of the harsh conditions of the prison camps. The murder mystery was enthralling however.
I Am Legend (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)I Am Legend (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.99
Very fun, but I don't think it lived up to all the hype.

Be prepared to be surprised.
Lucky Number Slevin (Widescreen Edition)Lucky Number Slevin (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.25
Bruce Willis has a small role in this, which I was not expecting. One of the few Josh Hartnett films I like.
Mr. BrooksMr. Brooks
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.74
One of the most creative serial killers since Hannibal Lector.
Munich (Widescreen Edition)Munich (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $1.66
Nominated for best picture, not Spieldburgs best work however, so don't go thinking it will equal Schiendler's List.

I loved the idea posed in this, the ending left a lot to be desired though.
Phone BoothPhone Booth
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.01
All to say is, nicely done!
Rescue DawnRescue Dawn
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.61
A pure survival film, has a corny unbelievable ending but despite that most will enjoy.
Red Eye (Widescreen Edition)Red Eye (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.01
Many will equate this to cheap thrills, still it's a nice fun film worth seeing once.
SawSaw
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.01
Nice and different when it first came out, the sequels are nothing special though.
Stranger Than FictionStranger Than Fiction
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.68
Many assumed this would be a comedy, which disapointed a lot. You'll be watching this however, dieing to know how it ends.
ShatteredShattered
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.09
All I can say is, you'll be hooked once the action starts the whole time.
The Brothers GrimmThe Brothers Grimm
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.75
This came and went from theaters in a matter of weeks. I thought it was very unique, but I'll admit it's not the best.
The InvasionThe Invasion
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $2.50
If you've seen the previous versions of this don't bother, if you haven't this is an alright take of it.
The Black Dahlia (Widescreen Edition)The Black Dahlia (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.95
Most people hated this movie, but I think that's because they hyped it up to much and it was made by the guy who made Scarface. Still it's a fun mystery.
What Lies BeneathWhat Lies Beneath
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.61
When this came out in theaters there was a warning that people with heart problems shouldn't see it. Rightfully so because it made me jump in my seat more than any other movie I've seen.
Children of Men (Widescreen Edition)Children of Men (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.98
The ending could have been better, but the premise was very creative.
