Inside Man

Yet another bank heist movie with a plot twist. The twist wasn't what I expected (which is cool), but it came so late in the movie I almost had given up that one even would occur. If you liked movies like The Usual Suspects, The Score & The Italian Job, you'll like this.

My Neighbor Totoro

One of Hayao Miyazaki's first animated films, it is worth seeing but not as refined as his more recent works. Seeing it after seeing Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service and the more recently released Spirited Aaway, it gives a good sense of the evolution of his storytelling and artistic styles.

Underworld: Evolution

This sequel is up to par with the original Underworld movie which features a battle of war and intrigue between rival vampire and werewolf clans. Lots of great action, cool moves and effects. The direction of the first was a bit too Matrix-ish, and this one is more original in style. Both have Kate Beckinsale in a tight black outfit, which is nice too.
