Taking Lives - The Movie

This was an older movie from 2004. A psychological crime thriller about an FBI profiler named Illeana Scott played by Angelina Jolie. She is chasing a serial killer played by Ethan Hawke.

The serial killer kills people and then takes over their identity. Because of this he has been on the loose for years, until one day his mother spots him. He has supposedly been dead for 19 years.

Stone - The Movie

Another psychological thriller. One of my favorite genre's.

Edward Norton is in prison for arson. His grandparents house, with them in it. Robert DeNiro is his parole officer who needs to make a recommendation for a parole hearing. Milla Jovovich plays Norton's wife. She sets to work on DeNiro to try and convince him to help her husband get out of prison.

Black Swan - The Movie

This is a movie about a ballerina gone wrong.

It reminds me somewhat of the movie Show Girls, which I really liked. Maybe its the dancer/competitor in me that enjoys the competition in these movies. In this movie the dancers compete for the lead position in Swan Lake in a New York City Ballet. The difference between this movie and Show Girls is the dancers in this movie are in ballerina leotards instead of half naked.

Right At Your Door

This is an interesting movie about a couple living in Los Angeles when a dirty bomb goes off. The movie stars Mary McCormack and Rory Cochrane.

I don't want to say too much and give the story away.

Seems to be a low budget film, but the plot was quite interesting. Makes you ask yourself what would I do in this situation. How far do you go to help family, neighbors or strangers in a crisis?
