Watched Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon. The film is smart, merciless, and deliciously cunning.

It has excellent and convincing performances by Gellar, Witherspoon, and Phillippe. I will give it a A-.
Watched Sucker Punch with Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish,and Jena Malone. The film in the beginning was slow and lagging a lot, But it got very entertaining and fun. The film is a complete visual feast, creating a gorgeous visual dreamscape for it's mostly one dimensional characters to kick a whole lot of imaginary ass in. The film had impressive special effects and It's an eye candy of a movie, but it lacks plot and characterizations. It has good acting and tons of crazy action. It's a C- .

Battle: LA with Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez.The film's action sequence shows a brutal, relentless and excellent stunts as the real thing might be.the film was visually splendid and enjoyable, but I felt that the film was a high-priced, high-tech clone of a video game/with no plot.
