The Lincoln Lawyer
The Lincoln Lawyer is good crime drama. The story has it's share of liars, informants, good guys, twists and turns. Matthew McConaughy carries the story well and Ryan Phillippe does a good job playing a creepy, spoiled brat. Well worth a look.

Four Lions
When we think of terrorists, we think of smart , clever, evil, conniving criminals. In Four Lions the terrorists are anything but. Bumbling, foolish, clueless and sometimes sweet, these terrorist mess up every plan they make. This is a film that makes us laugh at uncomfortable humor. As the fumbling terrorists meet their demise one by one, I didn't think I should laugh, but I did. A very funny, dark comedy.
