Inglourious Basterds Review
Quentin Tarantino once again has amazed us with a truly unique piece of artwork that will stand the test of time for years to come.

Public Enemies
Public Enemies is rated R, stars Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. It is over 2 hours long. The film starts out great lots of action and such then starts to drag out a little bit.

Star Trek
Directed by JJ Abrams starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Leonard Nimoy.
