Contraband is a tense, hard driving nail-biting action thriller your Mom won’t like for the foul language. Dad would be OK with it because it’s a heist flick with twists and turns. Not recommend for a child 15 years of age or under. My rating: 5 out of 10. Nuff said.

Lucas Done With Star Wars Films?
If his statements during a recent interview with the New York Times are any indication, we’re not going to see any more Star Wars movies from George Lucas.
“Why would I make any more,” Lucas says of the “Star Wars” movies, “when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?”
Course he has a point honestly. He catches a lot of shit from fans whenever he tries to do anything new with the franchise in the way of film.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
8 out 10: good story, good execution, violent! A terse, dark, thrilling account of an investigation into a serial killer that flows well and reads like a book with varied imagery and description of killings, dialog that moves and a plot you won’t get ahead of to figure out whodunit. Some steamy sex scenes and some quite violent including bondage and a rape; the crimes would keep me from allowing my children 15 or 16 and under from seeing this, though Mom & Dad would love the story while I’d not be comfortable watching those steamy and violent scenes with my folks, so not a good family flick. Rooney Mara as Craig’s research assistant? Don’t know what else she’s been in, but she has the perfect edginess for her role in this and pulls it off really well.
