Good DVD's to rent: Duplex, 50 First Dates, Mystic River, 28 days later, Monster

[Dot Matrix]

New crop to rent and own!

Duplex was delightfully funny with the team of Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore. They buy a duplex which is gorgeous but cannot get the old lady tennnant out due to rent control.... Humorous!

50 First dates a really heart warming comedey which stars Drew Barrynore - who is really gorgeous in this film guys! And Adam Sandler.

Drew has lost her memory from the time she had a car accident forward. So each day Adam wins her heart again. Very warm with depth.

Mystic River - the cast alone would bring someone to try this DVD. Kevin Bacon, Tim Robbins and Sean Penn are boyhood buddies and are a little mischievious. As the write their names in wet cement two men pull up and yell at them and force one of them into the car... This changes the complexion of their friendship forever and eventually destroys the community as the years pass and other events play out.

Monster Charlize Theron does a remarkable job portraying serial killer Aileen Wurmos

28 days later - What a surprise! A great British movie which starts off with people sneaking in a lab to release the test monkeys. A scientist tries to warn them that these animals are infected with something that would be devastating if they got out. At the same time a bicycle messenger crashes and goes into a coma. When he awakes 28 days later the world as he knew it is gone...

Dot: Interesting Trivia Dept.-- 28 Days Later was shot entirely with commercial digital video cameras and then the finished print was transferred to 35mm film. That's why the rain shots look so bizarre--video cams have faster exposure than film.

Just Watch The Trailer Dept.-- Along Came Polly is the latest victim of "all the funny bits are in the trailer". It's not that it's a terrible movie, but save your money. If you've seen the preview, you've seen the film.
