An Unfinished Life (2005,  PG-13)
2
The Good Son (1993,  R)
3
Angels & Demons (2009,  PG-13)
Angels & Demons
I read the book and it's so much better than The Da Vinci Code, therefore, I am really looking forward to the Angels & Demons film.
4
Up (2009,  PG)
5
Gran Torino (2009,  R)
Gran Torino
I think you're an overeducated 27-year-old virgin who likes to hold the hands of superstitious old ladies and promise them everlasting life.

Clint Eastwood's portrayal of a retired racist war vet was gritty and brave. Loved the Sue Lor character played by Ahney Her, who goes toe to toe against "Wally"' with her own verbal assaults.

Had to have a giggle at Clint's singing as the closing credits ran. He's brilliant!
6
Taken (2009,  PG-13)
Taken
I enjoyed "Taken" much more than I had anticipated. This action flick was a surprise mainly because Liam Neeson outdid himself in his role of a former spy (Bryan Mills).

He's fast, brutal, violent and then some! Pure entertainment.
