Out of Time is a serviceable suspense-thriller mainly for the charisma of its cast, primarily Denzel Washington and to some extent, Eva Mendes, as well as John Billingsley in the comedy relief role.
Urban Legends: Final Cut was a poorly made horror sequel to a movie that wasn’t all that good, though at least in that case I appreciate the passion behind it, this one seemed to be cooked from numerous producers.
Last Night might not have hit the homerun I was looking for, the trailers at least did catch my eye and I think there certainly are some good points to the film and unlike many other generic and often overly dramatic rom-dramas, this one has stuck with me hours after watching.
The Other Guys may not hit a homerun in the comedy department but as someone who hasn’t been the biggest Will Ferrell fan throughout his star-making career, I thought it was funny enough from beginning to end.

The DVD itself doesn’t have much to offer in terms of features while the audio and video transfers are adequate when compared against other newer DVD releases.
The Spirit is a sad misstep of a film big on style – even if it is copied almost exactly from Sin City – but short on story. I know what Miller was going after with the campy nature but what might look good on the page (screenplay or comic book) may not translate too well on the screen.
