The Machine Girl (product link) Action/Adventure / Girls With Guns Watch it for shock value and inventiveness only. Story is lame. Production values poor. Acting, sub-par.
D-Tox (product link) Action/Adventure / Drama I don't understand why this one wasn't released in the USA. It's really not that bad. It had some genuine suspense and was definitely a larger-budget film, not a direct-to-video effort. Sure, the story is a cliche and has holes in it. Still, I felt the acting wasn't pretty good and I was entertained throughout. This was a lot better than many blockbuster mainstream movies that opened recently including The Rock's XXX. If you're a Sylvester Stallone fan this is definitely a must see. I'm not really a Stallone fan and I still enjoyed it.

The premise is not that bad at all, but the editing of the US version is poor and confusing for any viewer.
Yamakasi (product link) Crime / Drama A fun little film. I give it three and a half stars because it has excellent production values, a fantastic soundtack, a surprisingly decent story, great action, and good acting. The basic story: a group of agile young men with almost supernatural athletic abilities--The Yamakasi-- is indirectly responsible for the near death of a young boy. This child and his friend were trying to imitate the Yamakasi who are known for scaling buildings in their spare time. The boy needs a heart transplant, but his family can't afford it. The Yamakasi, feeling responsible for the accident decide to steal from the rich to help the boy. This is a lighthearted movie that entertains throughout. Recommended, especially if you liked Besson's other films such as Taxi and Wasabi.

I didn't enjoy this movie or the sequel, I thought it was too cheesy, & missing a lot of great roof top "parkour" action sequences. The two movies had annoying characters. I did enjoy the "Taxi" franchise & "Wasabi" was all right too.
