(Merlin) This Nicolas Cage action/thriller came out pretty well. An interesting concept and some amazing effects combine with some cool plot twists to create an entertaining movie. Time well spent, and would make a great TV series.

(Merlin) Fun assassination thriller with some interesting plot twists. Mark Wahlberg plays the "down-home-oh-gosh-ma'am" sniper with a heart against Danny Glover's shadow government conspirator. The whole thing works suprisingly well, with the requisite ass-kicking of the baddies.
