Diego Luna

Crimminal - Diego Luna and some other people I never heard of.... This is a pretty good movie about con artists conning con artists... I think Diego Luna is gonna go far in the movie business, he is a wonderful young actor.... I recommend any movie he is in... Starting with "Y Tu Mama Tam Bien".

Around the Bend - Excellent story about 4 generations of father/son coming together due to a death... bright, and funny, considering the subject mattre..... the lil boy has his debut and he is great.. stars Christofer Walkin, Michael Caine, couple others.. Glenn Headly is in it too, she is hilarious.... recommended.

Bride with White Hair - I haven't actually finished watching this one yet.. its a movie from Mandarin Films, Chinese Martial arts flick... supposed to be pretty good, but, I got bored really quick... but, could be, I just was very tired... gonna try to finish watching it before I post this....... so far... no big loss if you never see it...

Flight of the Phoenix (1965) - 5 Penguins.. This version, is 10 times bettre then the current version, even with the bettre special effects and the nice acting by Dennis Quaid, it still doesn't hold a candle to the original... some will say the new version is drastically different from the original, but, not really.. I mean... plane crashes, men rebuild a new plane, take off to safety... the stuff inbetween is the story... some characters are different... but, the main thing about the original.. they had to act out the trials and tribulations and demeanors and attitudes of men stranded in the desert with lil water, lil food, WITHOUT any special effects and very lil 'special makeup'. So, you have to appreciate a movie from 1965 that can still pull your emotional strings.....as this one does... James Stewart is such a fine actor and this is one of his bettre roles... To be fair... watching the new one, after knowing about the original, could very well jade ones opinion.... the story is basically the same, but the movies are different....

Primer - Have no idea who the actors are... interesting take on time travel, or time stopping.... was strange, but interesting.. low budget... I liked it... no special effects... no explosions.. no nudity... just an interesting story...

The Reckoning - Wilhem Dafoe, Paul Bettney(sp)((guy from Beautiful Mind, Knight's Tale)) - pretty good movie, set in the 14th century Middle ages, England... a priest has need to flee his village, ends up with a traveling band of actors... they come to a town where a murder has occurred and thru thier play, they can maybe figure out the truth of the matter.... pretty good.. recommended...
