Matrix I-III + Animatrix /dvd

I Pretty good.

II I liked it but I still had some issues with it.

III Didn't like it mainly for how they resolved the story of it all.

Animatrix: overall all the episodes were great. I do think the origin story of the Matrix they show here, if it is correct, contradicts some of the discussions on Zion and the matrix in the movies once they get to II and III.

Mortal Kombat / BR
--FWIW, its a pretty decent martial arts movie. Had some pretty decent casting. You know the theme song is epic. the BR has some cool special features.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / BR
--They changed the cast up quite a bit for some of the main characters. The whole movie felt like the production values were severely cheapened from the first one.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes / BR
--One of my top movies of 2011. Liked it better than the Mark Wahlberg Apes update 10 years earlier (?). The story of helping you parents dementia kind of hit home. Has some really cool special features on the apes shown in the movie.

Contraband / theatre
--Pretty good movie. I felt like this was Wahlberg's "The Town" / "The Departed" answer to Affleck and Damon. Basically he is a former smuggler who has to get back in the game to help out his wife's brother who is trying to get into the same business. I liked the dynamic of how many people you need to have friends with on a ship to make the smuggling of goods work.
