What I've bee watching:

Transsiberian
An intriguing thriller involving an American couple traveling by rail from Beijing to Moscow who inadvertently become involved in drugs, murder and missing money.

Bon Cop, Bad Cop
When a serial killer leaves a body draped over the border sign between Ontario & Quebec cops from both places are forced to work together to solve the crime. With their language & cultural differences they are indeed an odd couple but when things get serious it’s “shoot first, translate later.” Funny and exciting!

Bottle Shock
A wine connoisseur who believes there is no wine as good as French wine holds a blind tasting with French & California wines. Based on a true story, this sweet, funny film is one to savor.

Rocknrolla
Don’t bother with this one. I was so bored I started fast-forwarding towards the end. If you like Guy Ritchie, and I do, watch Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch. They’re much, much better. This one was like a failed attempt to do yet another crime comedy in the style of LS&TSB. And, bad news, the end of the film suggests they are making a Rocknrolla 2! Get over yourself Guy Ritchie and do something else! Please!
