City of Ghosts (in Film)
It been over 20 years since Matt Dillon made his mark as an actor in The Outsiders and now it’s his turn to do the same as a writer-director with directorial debut, City of Ghosts. While his visionary aspects to the film are impressive due to its location, the story itself is jaded with so many plot holes, comprehension is lost.

The Real Cancun (in Film)
While some may find the film off-putting like the other TV reality shows, the film itself is quite appealing and funny and should make a boatload of money from individuals who want to venture into someone else’s world.

Love & Diane (in Indie)
Jennifer Dworkin’s brilliant documentary is the story of three generations worth of survival in the face of numerous social obstacles that keep the underpriveledged locked in an oppressive socio-economic cycle of struggle.

Chasing Papi (in Film)
While not perfect, I thoroughly enjoyed the film mainly because of the uniqueness of such a film. The film had a hammering Latino flavor from the bouncy soundtrack to cultural standpoints like Walter Mercado.

Bulletproof Monk (in Film)
Music video director Paul Hunter makes his feature debut this week with the kung fu action film Bulletproof Monk starring Chow Yun-Fat. Though Hunter's direction if formidable and he brings a rarely seen humor to Yun-Fat's monk, it is the story and character development where Bulletproof Monk fails.
