While waiting for the Da Vinci Code, which is generating a big controversy in my ex-conservative country, I've watched the following movies recently.

Inside Man (Review) – This Spike Lee picture is a police thriller about a gang of robbers who break into Manhattan Chase dressed as painters and take people in the bank as hostages. The whole film is the usual battle of wits between the gang leader (Clive Owen) and Danzel Washington as the detective on scene. The plot is not bad but nothing particularly brilliant that makes the film worth watching in a cinema. 2.5/5

Be Cool (Review) – With John Travolta, Uma Turman and more guest stars (what is the proper word for them?) than you can shake a stick at this must have been an excellent film but it's definitely the worst film I've watched this year. It's all about getting a music talent from nothing to music superstar while dodging past different gangsters who vainly try to be somewhere between though and funny but end up being pathetic. 1/5

Family Stone (Review) – It's not quite the season for this Christmas time romantic comedy which stars Sarah Jessica Parker as Meradith an uptight girlfriend that goes for Christmas period to meet her boyfriend's (Dermot Mulroney) family. The story is all about Meredith trying to integrate into the liberal open minded family who haven't yet got to terms with accepting this new addition to their family. Family Stone is an easy going romantic comedy with the usual clichés and predictable plot. 3/5
