The Hulk
For over four decades, the comic book character The Hulk formerly known as The Incredible Hulk found its way into the minds of children as well as adults as Bruce Banner’s alter ego. Older generation knew him as the muscle bound weight lifter dipped in green paint played by ex- wrestler Lou Ferrigno. However, for today’s generation he is new and improved.

Manito
Manito is a magnificent film that is expressive of the challenges, struggles, and decisions facing both the African-American and the Latino community.

Hollywood Homocide
The pairing of Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett is cute but the chemistry I found wanting along with the numerous plot holes that continuously open up in the movie.

2 Fast 2 Furious
With all the hype surrounding the can’t miss films of the summer (X-Men 2, Matrix Reloaded), a film like 2 Fast 2 Furious may do well because it there’s no heavy expectation in terms of plot. The film is about the cars, period, and Paul Walker, Tyrese, and Eva Mendes, are good backdrops that create enough flavor to bring in the same fans that made the original, The Fast and the Furious, a blockbuster.

Only the Strong Survive
Only the Strong Survive is a documentary film that should be watched by all to remember the times when soul singers where at their prime before the evolution of rock and roll began and their music was no longer at the forefront in the industry.
