Wanted for Murder $21.21 Anne Fielding (Dulcie Gray), a shop clerk, meets Jack Williams (Derek Farr), a bus conductor, on the London Underground. She's delayed by the train for a meeting with her friend Victor Colebrooke (Eric Portman) at Hampstead Heath; the two of them take a liking to each other while she's trying to find Victor. She finally locates him and they leave at virtually the same moment that a young woman is found strangled -- the latest in a series of six stranglings in London. The police investigate anyone who might have been with the victim -- that includes Jack, who was seen leaving in a fury late in the evening, and Victor, whose handkerchief was found in the vicinity of the body by a derelict. In a neatly Hitchcockian twist, however, the police soon get on to the right man, but between the ineptitude of one officer and sheer bad luck, Scotland Yard is unable to make an arrest or even secure a search warrant. A bizarre cat-and-mouse game ensues as Inspector Conway (Roland Culver) tries to pressure the killer into tipping his hand, which puts Anne in deadly danger. It all comes down to a race against time through London as all of the threads draw together, but around whose neck? ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide |

Malibu's Most Wanted (Fullscreen) $11.01 Jamie Kennedy co-wrote and stars in this surprisingly tender comedy about keeping it real, in more ways than one. Kennedy is Brad B-Rad Gluckman, an aspiring gangsta rapper who just so happens to be the son of wealthy California governor hopeful Bill Gluckman (Ryan O'Neal). Fearful that Brad's behavior is ruining Bill's campaign, campaign manager Tom (Blair Underwood) hires two actors to portray real-life gangsters and take B-Rad through an eye-opening tour of the actual 'hood, scaring the black out of him. Sean (Taye Diggs) and P.J. (Anthony Anderson) are forced to recruit P.J.'s cousin, Shondra (Regina Hall), to help out with the scam, considering they're as ignorant of the ghetto as B-Rad himself. Soon, the game is underway. But when Shondra's ex-boyfriend (Damien Dante Wayans) becomes jealous of her seeming affection for B-Rad, he brings actual bullets into the mix. As the danger level rises, B-Rad begins to understand just how misunderstood he is. Yet he never buckles under the pressure, proving that if one stays true to oneself, anything is possible. Director John Whitesell finally makes the leap from television to the big-screen with this charming comedy, which is packed with laughs and a bumping hip-hop soundtrack. |

The marauders hit the big-time, and get their names and faces on bobbleheads, sports drinks, and more. A global criminal organization known as The Syndicate takes notice and demands tribute.

If what you're doing isn't the craziest thing you've done in a game, it's probably because you still haven't gotten over what you just did a couple moments before. |

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty - Video Game Review
I've been waiting a long time for the sequel to Starcraft. I wasn't exactly sure if Blizzard could update the game and still keep the same feel. I am happy to say that they have! The game play you know and love from the original is all there but the graphics have been brought into the 21rst century. Here is a quick run down of my experience so far:
Graphics: I'm not running the most state-of-the-art computer, but the game runs great on the "High" settings. I'm running an Intel E7400 with 4 GB of RAM and Dual NVidia 9600 GT OC's in SLI. I had just a bit of stutter on "Ultra" settings, so I turned it down a bit.
Sound: The audio is a mix of "blast from the past" and "Wow! That is cool they added that!"
An avid gamers of Starcraft will noticed right away with regards to menu , You can even select the music you want to play as the background and lastly an allies that wil response.
Control: I hope you remember your hotkeys from SC1 because you'll be needing them. The interface is pretty much cut and paste from SC1 but it has been updated for today's graphics. Camera control is very nice, but I haven't yet found a way to rotate the view and you are pretty limited to how far you can zoom out.
Single-player play games : There are some interesting new aspects to the single-player game. You get to research upgrades and purchase new types of units (warning: some of these units are NOT available in multi-player). You also get delivered the storyline in face-to-face chats with other characters as well as through the standard cut scenes. As for during mission game play, Blizzard has stayed true to form. Basically if you likes SC1 in single-player, you should love SC2's single-player mode.
Multi-player Game play: Pure "vanilla" SC2 is very similar to online play with SC1. But you have the option to install custom game types as well. Think tower defense and DotA in Warcraft 3. I'm really looking forward to seeing what people come up with. While I love standard RTS action (which SC2 offers plenty of) a little change never hurts and promises to give the game a lot of longevity.
Ok, now for the bad part. You knew there had to be a reason for 4 stars, right?
1.) You have to log in to play, even in single-player. This really doesn't matter to me, but I know some people call it a "deal breaker".
2.) No LAN play at all.
But LAN play isn't dead, Blizzard. Some of us like having the ultra-low latency of getting together face-to-face with our friends.
All that said, I'm looking forward to a long, healthy relationship with StarCraft 2 fighting games. So far, the wait has been worth it. I can't wait to see how the community evolves and what new mods are made available over the next few months.
