Reviews

It's also one of the few movies to recognize that people with severe physical disabilities have sexual lives, too." Another review was, "The Sessions'' treats intimacy with an explicitness and honesty that's very rare in movies."  This movie looks good to me.

Movie: Alex Cross
Summary
Alex Cross follows the young homicide detective/psychologist (Tyler Perry), from the worldwide best-selling novels by James Patterson, as he meets his match in a serial killer (Matthew Fox). The two face off in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but when the mission gets personal, Cross is pushed to the edge of his moral and psychological limits in this taut and exciting action thriller.
Reviews
62% of the people liked this movie.  A Reviewer on rottentomatoes.com said, "So cloddish, slapdash, gracelessly written, and visually fugly that it's difficult to distinguish Perry's limitations in the role from those of the whole unpleasant enterprise." Another review was,  "I am a huge fan of the books, so I was a little disappointed with the storyline. Not he Alex Cross I expected, but overall, not a terrible film."  This film seems like an okay film to me, but more of a film you watch at home.
