District 9 *** NFK. This was a disturbing movie.  I mean the content and how it was filmed.  Much felt like a documentary and the look was grainy.  There was so much hand held camera work I think I started getting dizzy.  I’ve never seen anything like this movie and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

Taken ****. I really liked this movie.  Saw it with Cassidy at the theater.  I like Liam Neeson a lot.  That line in the trailer where he talks on the phone with his daughter’s kidnapper saying he will hunt him down and hearing “Good luck” had me sold.  Great ride with lots of action and tense situations.

City of God ****  NFK.  I actually watched this movie two years ago.  This is a gritty movie.  It has a violent disturbing scene with a young boy that shocked me.    I liked it but it’s not for everyone.

Boogie Nights 9.7.10 NFK. ** I sorta enjoyed the movie. Loved the music and the 70’s disco attire.  It’s a dark comedy and yes there is plenty of sex. In the end after two and a half hours I felt it didn’t offer that much.

Flyboys ***  This isn’t a GREAT movie.  Staring James Franco, Harry from Spiderman, I didn’t think the characters were very well developed.  The love story seemed a bit contrived.  As a whole though, I enjoyed it.  I loved the cinematography. It was emotional and the  aerial dog fighting was pretty good.  I recommend it.
