Kyle & Dee Rentals

TOPS
The New World: Kyle loved it; no one else will.
The Good Girl: Classic Aniston. No, really, it's a tasty flick.
The Baxter: From The State players comes this funny romantic jabbadoo.
Good Night, & Good Luck: Worth about 95% of the hype.
Brokeback Mountain: Worth about 85% of the hype.
In America: But not a movie to watch with your pregnant wife.
Batman Begins: Terrific superhero movie. One of the best (but Dee found it boring).

MIDS
Three Extremes: Not all that extreme, but definately creepy.
The Constant Gardner: Decent. Surprisingly little momentum for a "political thriller".
Match Point: Woody Allen. English upper class. Murder. What more can I say.
Flightplan: Pretty damned predictable.
Wolf Creek: Great Aussie horror. Way too much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre to be "TOPS".

LOWS
Fantastic Four: Stopped watching after 20 minutes.
Derailed: Stopped watching after 30 minutes.
The Island: Eh... Ok premise, stupid filmmaking.

Rentals to Avoid
Broken Flowers: Beyond boring, couldn't care less about the characters.

Rentals to Look Forward To
Inside Man: Been keeping tabs on Chiwetel Ejiofor since "Dirty Pretty Things;" he was also good in "Four Brothers."

I agree with you on In America and Batman Begins, both really good movies. I also agree with you on The Island-terrible. But The Good Girl and Flightplan were poor at best and Matchpoint may have been the most painful movie I have ever sat through. I would move Constant Gardener up if you got to see Rachel Weis's boobs.

ps-Broken Flowers is top five worst movies ever.
