Trailer Alert: Memoir of a Murderer

Director - Won Shin Yun Country - Korea Genre - Thriller Ex-serial killer with Alzheimer's disease versus a new serial killing sociopath, or in fact, himself instead?

Mongol

Director - Sergei Bodrov Genre - Biography/Drama/Romance/War Aye Caramba! Genghis Khan as a lover? We hope we won't live long enough to see a romantic movie about Saddam Hussein. Shudder. In this epic-wannabe film, Genghis Khan is shown as a compassionate weakling who gets bullied and trashed about since young yet unbelievably is able to gather at whim warriors who are willing to die for him. As his army of men grow larger and his love for a wife who is bedded by half of Mongolia deepens, we are left wondering, have we missed anything? More importantly, have the filmmakers taken on a mountain and settled on a hill instead? 2 STARS! All about Mongol

Law Abiding Citizen

Director - F. Gary Gray Genre - Crime/Action/Thriller Entertaining action-thriller starring two of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Gerard Butler and Jamie "Give me that role, I can make pigs fly" Foxx. With these two playing a cat and mouse game involving the whole city, we're almost guaranteed a good time. Now comes the bad news. Like this review, the movie started out painting a picture we'd be sorry to overlook. Too bad it couldn't sustain its initial momentum of a clever thriller with action which blow your pants off. The middle section and what followed after that was just too over the top. Watch out for an unintentional, laugh out loud scene which wouldn't feel out of place in a Stephen Chow movie. It is still enjoyable though, just don't expect corn to taste like caviar. 3 STARS! All about Law Abiding Citizen
