Starring: Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, and Dane Cook

Plot: Mr. Brooks (Costner) is your normal working father in every way but one. In his spare time he enjoys killing people. While committing his 'last murder' he is seen by Mr. Smith (Cook) who instead of turning Brooks into the police decides he wants to join in the killing business. Mr Brooks is a roller coaster ride of twists and turns as Brooks and Smith try to plan their next murder while avoiding Detective Tracy Atwood (Moore) who is hot on their trail.

The Hitcher(2007)

Z-----


Starring: Sean Bean, Sophia Bush, and Zachary Knighton

Review: Cliche story of a young couple (Bush & Knighton) finding themselfs relentlessly stalked by a deranged murderer (Bean). Overall a dull, cliched plot but hidden inside is a mediocre slasher movie worth Redboxing and watching once.

Pan's Labyrinth

Why: If you are really interested in the 1970's skate scene this documentary does a much better, and more entertaining, job of presenting the same information. And it doesn't have the bad acting, dull montages, and blatant celebrity cameos.

1. Yahoo WidgetsZZZZZ
Great for PC users who envy the Dashboard capabilities of a Mac. Widgets are small, simple programs that run on or beneath your desktop. They can improve PC usability
and are sometimes just plain fun to use or look at.
