The Air I Breath.

Sigh. Now how many times are they going to make the exact same movie. A few seperated storylines, but guess what, they are all connected! Brilliant! Didn't I see that before, yes, the exact same thing. It even has the exact same type of music.

I just watched Kiss of Death (1946) yesterday, and was amazed at how close the plot is to Gran Torino (2008). The earlier film doesn't have the racism theme.

Los Cronocrímenes (Timecrimes) (2008) written and directed by Nacho Vigalondo is a well done and interesting thriller based on the possibility of time travel. The handling of the details in the multiple repetitions of scenes from different perspectives is very well done. It does get confusing, but I didn't see any flaws or plot holes. I would say the acting is average except for the director who plays a secondary part and is below average. The film is not high budget, but it is sufficient to tell the story.

Just saw Adventureland.

Different from what I expected, which was a sort of Superbad-style comedy.

This was wholly different from that. It was a comedy drama, and a good movie. Better than just a good movie. It made me care more for the characters than I do for most movies. Great acting and a great performance by Bill Hader. Definitely seemed more real, more realistic, than most movies. Nor did it sacrifice comedy, though obviously it wasn't a laugh-a-minute farce.

Death Race (Unrated) (2008) is a well done action picture staring Jason Statham that delivers thrilling car racing sequences and tough guy action. The camera work and special effects are excellent. The plot is simple and straight forward. I haven't seen the theatrical release, although, it is included on the DVD.

Babylon A. D. (Uncut) (2008) is a poorly done action picture starring Vin Diesel. The plot is a confusing mess that brings in too many disparate ideas and causes the character's motivations to be baffling. The action sequences are shot up close with lots of fast cutting making it impossible to coherently follow the action, and there are too many influences from other films incorporated into the visuals. You are beaten over the head with the religious references which are absurd and obvious. Also Michelle Yeoh is wasted.
