Inside Man is a fun movie from start to finish -- from Clive Owen's opening monologue, you are constantly wondering what just happened or what is going to happen next. Spike Lee does a good job of hiding just enough information from you to keep you guessing, while not confusing you or making things unrealistic (by movie standards). The movie does have a moral, but it's really the plot twists that make this an enjoyable movie. Definitely worth the pick up, and I hear there might be a sequel coming out...

I personally love FFVII: Advent Children. However, this movie takes place two years after the end of the video game, Final Fantasy VII. Since this movie was not really intended to be marketed to a general audience, the makers of the movie assume that you've played the video game. Thus, the plot and character development is REALLY sparse, and takes advantage of the immensely developed story in the video game. So if you watch this movie without knowledge of FFVII, you're not going to understand pretty much anything. The graphics are incredible for a movie from 2005, and I personally love the music. They also throw in lots of little touches that are very fun, like the Loz's ringtone in the church scene with Tifa. Everyone who played and enjoyed FFVII should buy this movie without question. If only to see the Omnislash version 5 at the end! However, if you didn't play FFVII, sit back and enjoy the pretty pictures and sounds without as much of a story.
