"From Hell" rated
R
The old tale of Jack the Ripper; this movie stars Johnny Depp,
Heather Graham and Robbie Coltrane. Depp plays an opium addicted
detective who investigates the murders of prostitutes in London,
and has visions of the ones who are killed. The special effects
are awesome but a little slow and hard to follow in the beginning.
Are they covering up the killer because he is royalty?? This
movie is based on the novel by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell
and directed by the Hughes brothers.

"The Glass House"
rated pg-13
Like this move also; a thriller starring LeeLee Sobieski.
The brother and sister are orphaned and the guardians are
old neighbors. Of course, they live in a glass house and their
name is glass....Lots of tension in the house, he owes money
and she is a drug addict so basically they want the children's'
money. The tension builds slowly but you don't know until
the end who really killed who.

"The Last Castle"
rated R
Like this movie also; a little unrealistic for prison life
(a cross between Brubaker and Shaw Shank Redemption) but lots
of action. This movie revolved around a prison for Service
men convicted of crimes in the military. The prison overseer
(James Gandolfini) is power hungry, mean, and conniving. Robert
Redford becomes a friend and leader of the prison and they
try to overthrow Gandolfini) lots of action and of course
Robert Redford is always good. Steve Burton plays Lt. Peretz
and a slow inmate who wins your heart.

"K-PAX" rated
PG-13
A mysterious mental patient Prot (Kevin Spacey) appears at
Grand Central Station and claims to be an alien from K-PAX,
of course he is immediately taken to a mental institution
where a Dr. Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges) becomes his doctor.
Overworked and not spending a lot of time with his family
Dr Powell becomes entranced by Prot. Prot has the attention
of all the patients on his floor, promising to take one along
when he returns to K-PAX on July 27th. Also staring Alfre
Woodard as Dr. Claudia Villars, Mary McCormack as Marks' wife
and Aaron Paul. This movie is a little like "One Flew Over
the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Starman" also starring Jeff Bridges.
Is he really an Alien?; he is believable.... so-so movie,
Spacey does an excellent job but moves a little slow.

"Domestic Disturbance" rated
Pg-13
What a good "thriller", pins and needles through most of the
movie. The preview did reveal a lot of the movie but it was
still good. John Travolta stars as the divorced father, Frank
Morrison, who is told by his son that his ex-wives new husband
has murdered someone. There is not evidence or body so the
police do not believe him but frank does. The new husband,
Rick, is played by Vince Vaughn, the ex-wife by Teri Polo
of "Meet the Parents". Of course Rick is not who he says he
is, he has a record. I liked this movie, lots of dark scenes
and pop outs. Directed by Terry Zwigoff and written by Daniel
Clowes.
