Crossing Over

Synopsis: Immigrants from around the world enter Los Angeles every day, with hopeful visions of a better life, but little notion of what that life may cost. Their desperate scenarios test the humanity of immigration enforcement officers.

Annenigma55 says: #MMR Crossing Over: Well done, thought provoking, emotional, ‘Crash’-style story of U.S. immigration.http://ow.ly/j3UG

Killshot

Synopsis: The beautiful Carmen Colson (Diane Lane) and her husband Wayne (Thomas Jane) become entangled in a scam with a bumbling, small time con artist (Joseph Gordon Levitt) and his over-the-hill hitman partner the Blackbird (Mickey Rourke). Ultimately, it all comes down to one wife, one husband, two killers…and one lethal killshot.

thatcraigguy @movieset Despite some decent supporting roles, Mickey Rourke does not carry this predictable movie. Stick to the Wrestler

Inkheart

Synopsis: Inkheart is a thrilling adventure that stars Brendan Fraser as Mo Folchart, a father who possesses a secret ability to bring characters from books to life when he reads them aloud. But when Mo accidentally brings a power-hungry villain from a rare children’s fable to life, the villain kidnaps Mo’s daughter and demands Mo bring other evil fictional characters to life.

cichlid says: @MovieSet Inkheart is a good film the whole family can watch. Disappointed in special feats, only one-an excerpt reading http://ow.ly/hv9V

mariab76 says: @MovieSet Inkheart starts off slow but the ending has lots of good action. My niece and nephew quite enjoyed it. Good acting w all star cast

He’s Just Not That Into You

Synopsis: Tells the stories of a group of interconnected, Baltimore-based twenty- and thirtysomethings as they navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of the dating pool through the deep, murky waters of married life, trying to read the signs of the opposite sex… and hoping to be the exceptions to the “no-exceptions” rule.

The Deal

Synopsis (via IMDB): A down-and-out film producer agrees to make his nephew’s film about 19th century English statesman Benjamin Disraeli, but can only get financing if he casts a well-known action star. Production is halted however, when the lead actor is kidnapped, so the producer hatches a scheme with a struggling creative executive to save the star and the movie.

Kartmanix says: ”The Deal”: A hilarious film about Hollywood. William Macy actually is good as the lead, but is unlikeable for half of the film.

But what can you say about a movie in less than a gross of characters? Turns out quite a bit. Take a look at these practitioners of the art of the haiku-sized review for movies ranging from family popcorn fantasies to Scottish capers to Deuce gone bad.

Stone of Destiny

blainecreates Stone of Destiny was interesting because it was based on a true story but doesn’t deliver much tension or twists. http://ow.ly/gJiR – #

Big Stan

thatcraigguy @movieset – Big Stan is the new Rob Schneider vehicle. Rare to see a movie dedicated to making fun of rape. Oh Deuce you’ve hit a new low… #
