Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye is an action-packed, suspense thriller that is directed by D. J. Caruso, who also directed the 2006 box office hit film, Disturbia. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf as Jerry Shaw (he also plays as his late twin brother, Ethan Shaw) and Michelle Monaghan as Rachel Holloman. These two strangers end up becoming fugitives after being set up as suspected terrorists. All of this happens after they both receive a phone call from a mysterious woman, who knows everything about them and tracks every move that they make. The woman, whom the two have never met, threatens their lives and the lives of their families if they dont follow her orders.

Pink Panther 2 fails to match success of first in series

Sequels are generally dreaded by fans of a film. The plot is usually butchered, and the addition of new actors makes you question your unfaltering respect for the first film in the series. The Pink Panther 2 proves that its just like any other sequel. Steve Martin returns as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, along with his partner Ponton, again played by Jean Reno. The film picks up right where the last one ended, Clouseau recovered the Pink Panther diamond and is now Frances most beloved police officer. The new chief inspector, however, has demoted him to writing parking tickets.
