Valentine's Day



This picture does not look like the ingredients for a great movie..... anybody surprised... and It isn't.
I hear some SNL people saying over and over... Really, really.

The only thing i was surprised about is that I actually DIDN'T barf. Infact I didn't even hate it. Not that I'd say to rent it.


Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus


This was a reco from Tim. No Heath Ledger didn't establish himself here as the end all be all actor. It was neat to see how they finished the movie after he croaked. The movie wasn't as kid based as I expected, and kind of dark actually. I'd recommend it, just know before... its a little weird.

Road


Maybe this was a good book... I can see that. The movie was good... rent it if you don't have anything else. In general its slow, drags on a little. Couple of jumps from some post apocalyptic freakness, and its neatly done, but don't rush out.

Dear John


I can't believe I'm writing this.... Confirmed... Channing Tatum sucks! Who was waiting for confirmation again....

The Notebook guy wrote this... that one was way better.

Stolen


Pretty good, worth a rent. Not top shelf... but Brynn and I both liked it.

Based on a true story, John Hamm hunts down his missing kid through the years.... semi low budget, Josh Lucas... James van der BEEK... how do you even spell that?

The New Daughter


What a horror flick. Who would have guessed. Maybe more like a thriller/semi horror movie. I don't think this will ruin it for you, but we were amazed where this went. Nothing super deep, definitely no awards in store for this movie, but on a slow Weds... its worth it if you are out of choices.

44 inch chest


With practically the same cast of RocknRolla and that same gritty English feel, this movie ended up being completely different. I'm not sure i liked it. I think I put up with it till the end.... yes, that's a better way to put it.

The Young Victoria


This movie won some awards for best costumes or something like that. Needless to say, I was reaching on this one. The movie was slow, so don't expect something that won't require some patience. That said, it was good. Interesting story, seemed pretty historically accurate, good acting, and worth the rent for sure.
