| Bowling For Columbine | Documentary | A MUST SEE ! Michel Moore does a documentary on gun shootings in the US compared to other countries. VERY informative, and interesting. Interviews with gun owners, NRA members, Charlton Heston, Marilyn Manson, Dick Clark, George W. Bush and many more are included in the film. Michel even goes to Canada to compare their gun shootings to the US. The main question posed in the film is this: Why are there SO many more gun related killings in the US verses other counties? I guarantee some of the reasons you are thinking are wrong. | 10 |

| Red Dragon | Murder / Thriller | A remake of the original Red Dragon, the first of the Hannibal movies. This new version is better in my opinion in many ways. Foremost is the better cast. Anthony Hopkins plays the doctor that detective, Edward Norton, seeks help profiling the killer. The movie is still entertaining even though if you saw the original and know what is going to happen. | 8 |
