Normally we get new releases a day before the rest of the USA because of our timezone GMT +10. For some reason, they just released STOP LOSS here. A must see for me this weekend. I’ve also considered STREET KINGS.

STREET KINGS was good! Keanu Reeves finally has a good role. I didn’t like him in his last movie, THE LAKE HOUSE.
