Here's an edge of your seat bank robbery picture from Spike Lee. You couldn't ask for better star power with Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster.

Clive Owen is in a cell in the beginning of the movie, discussing the perfect bank robbery. The movie flashes back as Clive Owen enters the bank with his associates, and takes all the bank employees and customers hostage.

Denzel is a detective, and Jodie Foster is someone who knows people, and can get things done. Don't expect a typical bank robbery picture, as the robbers motives might surprise you, especially if it's not about money.



Our favorite Blue collar comedian, now stars in his first Movie. Larry the Cable Guy is now a health inspector and when customers of the most upscale restaurants begin to get sick, Larry must find out why. You'll be laughing beginning to end.



If you have ever been a fan of the classic detective stories, such as the Maltese Falcon, or the Big Sleep, this movie is for you. Remember Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade. Now imagine him as a teenager in a modern day southern California high school.

Brendon(Joseph Gordon levitt) is loner who is trying to find out what happened to his missing ex-girlfriend. Everyone in the movie talks as if they were taken right out of a Dashell Hamett or Raymond Chandler Novel. Even though it is modern day, you will notice the absence of modern technology. You'll see a couple of cell phones, but notice how Brendon mostly uses the old style pay-phones, and messages to people are done on scrap paper instead of being emailed, or text messaged. There is also no modern music, just some eerie lounge jazz.

I can't tell you enough how much I loved this movie. The fast pace film noir slang and rhythmic dialog makes for the most unique movie experience. There is also kind of a Twin Peaks feel to it. The movie would probably be laughable if all of the talented actors didn't play it straight.

This is Director Rian Johnson's first film, and he will be definitly one to watch.
About a year ago, I was amazed by Joseph Gordon Levitts performance in "Mysterious Skin" and he has impressed me again.
