Director: Stefon Bristol Stars: Eden Duncan-Smith, Dante Crichlow, Astro  My thoughts: As much as I was glad to see this one show up on Netflix after hearing about it awhile before it was actually released I was a little disappointed on this one.

In this movie it wasn't the big things that stood out to me, it was the...

Directors: Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman Stars: Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dominique Fishback My thoughts: I dug this movie and I feel that it's watch a watch, but I can see why some folks might not.
