Men Who Stare at goats


Expecting that Steve Zissou, out of nowhere, cult classic... this isn't it. It was funny, quirky, worth renting.... but lacked the red hats and glocks that could have put it over the top.Rent it, cause you kinda have to, but don't go running out for it. Perfect download queue movie, cause they take so long to populate.

Everybody's Fine


So I can't remember this for the life of me. Hold on....Oh yeah, Robert De Niro. So you could probably have a decent movie if you just watched him tie his shoes, and I really liked it. Not what you'd expect, and a lot weirder than the previews and cover would have you believe. But if you have 3 you really want to see, and need another... get this. It's slow, and a decent flick.

Possession


The Sarah Michelle Gellar One....How long did we wait for this thing to come out.... Like 2 frickin years. And so it finally did... and we rented it. You can see the Grudge similarity, and if you liked that you'll definitely like this. Good date movie, semi suspenseful. Yeah! it was good.

Dolan's Cadillac


Best B List movie out. Low budget, nobody in it. if you say Christian Slater isn't than you too are a nobody.... but again .... Watchable. Oh Stephen King Film.... hmmm. guess you can kind of tell.

Where the Wild Things Are


Was it me.... or did is this movie lame. I wanted to strangle that kid so bad I could only take like 20 minutes and donezo.. Back to BB

Did you Hear About the Morgans


Total chick flick.... so you think. Its a good movie. I'm a sucker for SJP movies, and Hugh Grant is his typical dorky funny self. But the Sasparella guy form the Big Lebowsky and Ted Danson's wife even it out. So, like rainy Sunday for sure. And pop the Chard.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs


This was an enjoyable kids movie. A lot of kids movies get branded as "Great for Adults too!" This one deserves better than the "too" label. Granted not what you'd rent when you have your own choice... But when the nieces are over, get this... it'll pass the time way better.

Echelon Conspiracy


This movie was a no name sci fi movie that looked to be pretty bad. Honestly i wasn't looking forward to a fun night when we picked this up. It turned out to be a decent movie. Definitely not a top shelf slot, but worth a non new release free bee.
It has ed burns, shane west, and vinghn rhames. i really don't care if i spelt those right.

Fantastic Mr Fox


Hecka Good. It's a semi Kid movie, pretty much like anything i've ever seen, but it was more adult than cloudy with a chance of meatballs. The whole movie was like the cutaway scenes from Steve Zissou's ship. So I recommend it for immediate rental. On your top 45 list, just know its still slightly geared towards wholesome.

Bad Lieutenant


Hmmm. It wasn't as bad as some of the latest Nick Cage movies..... but it was pretty bad. It was WATCHABLE!!! Nicolas Cage is a friggin dork. He does his standard drugged up routine like well standard. Actually Val Kilmer was ok in it... Lost some weight. Looks like it was an old Harvey Kietel remake. His was most likely better.

Ninja Assasin


OWN IT. One of my favorite movies of all time. I don't own much. This is a winner. Friggin awesome.

Iron Man


Brynn hadn't seen this and since 2 is on its way, we played some catch up. Its the third time I've seen it, which shows how good it is... obviously.

Education


I didn't know what this was. It was a Brynn reco that I rented. Then I saw the beginning and thought CRAP. I saw this preview like a million times and it looks totally lame. It wasn't. A chick flick that guys can put up with. Can't recommend to like a friend on a Sat night... but it goes perfect with Ninja Assassin.

Brothers


Another movie I totally didn't want to see. Actually nobody I know wanted to see this, but we were out of choices and this was the last ditch effort. The movie wasn't portrayed in the preview accurately, and in was a good movie. A total reco. There was some war stuff in it that I never saw coming.
