Who's in it: Gerard Butler, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Toby Kebbell, Tom Wilkinson

What's it about: There is a band of criminals that have been raiding the streets. One Two(Butler), Mumbles(Elba), and Handsome Bob(Hardy) are stealing from Lenny(Wilkinson) and he's getting angry. Lenny runs the town and is the reason for so much trouble. His stepson, Johnny(Kebbell), has stolen a borrowed painting and is trying to sell it in the streets. Johnny is trying to get back at his abusive stepfather and Lenny just won't have it. Wanting the painting back, he searches for the trio and is convinced that they have it and will do anything to them in order of it's safe return.

What I Think: My summary doesn't do this movie any justice. There is so much going on in this movie that it's hard to explain without showing it. I was walking through Blockbuster when I saw Gerard Butler and I grabbed the DVD immediatley. I didn't know much about the movie, but the fact that Butler was in it overwhelmed me. There was a lot of gay innuendo for the duration of the movie and I thought it was hilarious. Storyline was a bit weak, but I got to see Butlers butt!

Who's in it: Hilary Swank, David Morrissey, AnnaSophia Robb, Idris Elba

What's it about: There is something going on in the town of Haven. Doug(Morrissey) has called upon Katherine(Swank) and Ben(Elba) to help them out. The strange things happening are similar to the plagues that wrought Egypt from God and the town believes that it was becuase of a witch like girl, Loren(Robb), who lives in the woods. As Katherine begins to learn more about the town and it's history, she starts to doubt that it's really Loren who's behind the events. Is it really a homeless woodsgirl or actually a cult riden country town?

What I Think: Hilary Swank was great in this movie. I love watching movies with her in them! The story was pretty interesting and I enjoyed the mystery that was behind the movie. I think that Robb is good, but this movie isn't her best. It's not that she was bad, it's that she hardly had anything in the movie except for a few little shots here and there. Morrissey was great I thoughtbut I really think he could've done better. Kudos for effects and for Swank!
