Although Ben (Rob Bogue) and Colton (screenwriter Josh Alexander) are all grown up, they still have some maturing to do. The two New Yorkers exit the city for a road trip to Montreal with a dual purpose: meet actor Donald Sutherland and transport a rather large quantity of drugs across the border.

Review:
Dull title for a juicy, fact-based caper movie that's full of
surprises I have no intention of spoiling. I'll say this. In 1971,
a robbery took place at Lloyds Bank in London that involved a royal
sex scandal. The thieves, played here by Brit athlete and model
turned credible actor Jason Statham, seductive Saffron Burrows and
the cream of Brit character actors, are hustled into robbing the
place by higher-ups who are using them just to get their hands on
incriminating photos in a deposit box. Director Roger Donaldson
keeps the suspense crackling. By the end, you'll want to know more
about a heist that literally did shake the empire.

Review:
Hate on Michel Gondry's whimsical comedy all you want. Be
Kind Rewind would have to get juiced on killer steroids to
even qualify as lightweight. But at least credit the visual stylist
behind innovative music videos for Björk, Radiohead, the White
Stripes and the Rolling Stones, award-winning commercials for
Levi's 501 jeans, the Gap and Smirnoff vodka, and vividly cinematic
flights of fancy such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind and The Science of Sleep for knowing what the
fuck he is doing. To judge from early reviews of Be Kind
Rewind, Gondry, 44, hardly knows what time it is. Why the hell
in the new digital century would this savvy French innovator make a
movie about a store in blue-collar Passaic, New Jersey, that rents
movies in old, moldy, analog VHS? At a time when sex...

| Be Kind Rewind / **1/2 (PG-13) |
"Be Kind, Rewind" (PG-13. /// minutes). After every tape in a VHS rental store is inadvertently erased, Jack Black and Mos Def don't want the store owner (Danny Glover) to find out. So they set to work to "re-enact" them in low-tech home movies. I felt positive and genial while watching it, but I didn't break out in paroxysms of laughter. Written and directed by the usually more brilliant Michel Gondry.
