United States of Tara, A Perfect Getaway, Weather Girl

United States of Tara is outstanding - give it a try. Perfect Getaway was lame, Weather Girl was cute and enjoyable.

AVATAR - Amazing!!!

What an amazing film - one of the best experiences I have ever had in my movie watching days. Cannot recommend enough to go see it - if you cannot afford it come see me at the store and I will help you get there.

Skeptic, Other Man, Hangover, Basterds

Skeptic - big whatever...lame. Other Man - not the biggest fan of this but there are those out there arguing how superior and grand it is - even bigger whatever, but a side note on Linney's nude pictures - they were beautiful...Hangover was great fun and Basters was Tarantino indulging again; if you embrace Quentin you will adore this film.

Vicious Circle, 3:10 to Yuma Blu, Appaloosa Blu

VC was a good little film no one will watch - artsy but good. Was in a Western mood: a little wine and a little reminder of what an emotional dad/son flick can feel like - 3:10 and Ben Foster's performance of loyalty makes any Western feel paled - Appaloosa is still right up there with one of the best friendship films ever made after Unforgiven.

Humble Pie, Public Enemies, World's Greatest Dad

Humble Pie is a great little film. Public Enemies is fine, not what I had hoped for in the historical department - but Mann had some awesome attention to props, World's Greatest Dad is a depressing, unfunny and lame film - skipper all the way.

Julie & Julia, Carriers, Jeff Dunham XMas

Julie & Julia is such a great film - I had reservations about it with the amount of ladies pleading for this film the last 2 months - but I REALLY liked how cute (not my best wording but oh well) this was.

Carriers is Pine's latest and I was unimpressed - customers were picking it apart like crazy while it played in the store; how many times can you load/chamber a round the same gun/same scene before it gets really stupid? (for the record it was 4). He has a good screen presence though.

Rewatched Jeff Dunham XMas Special from last year in the store last night and it had people cracking up with laughter.

Term Salvation, How I Met Your Mom, Cutthroat Island

Terminator sucked the big kahuna - what a turd. How I Met Your Mom is my latest addiction - great series (customers kept telling me I needed to watch it)...did some old school watching last night for Cutthroat Island - stupid movie but awesome 7.1 BD sound - NICE.

My One & Only, Four Xmas, Angels & Demons

My One & Only is a shallow little flick, Four Xmas and Angels & Demons had better Blus than films.

Open Road, Sunny XMas, Is Anybody There

Open Road was boring, Sunny sucked, Is Anybody There was a hidden little gem of a Caine film.

STAR TREK!

Does not get any better - loved it!

Merry Gentleman, Franklyn, Goods

Merry was ok, low key initial direction for Keaton. Franklyn was a great little film on Blu that no one will watch, Goods was hilariously raunchy but drags towards the end.

Ballast

Saved this for a single post - wanted to put a long review out there but I have noticed that anyone who comments other than perfect for this film gets lambasted. Apparently this was the highest thought of film at Sundance 08, and reviewers across the board give this a rating of perfection....whatever. It was depressing, bleak, boring and uneventful to those outside the region it was filmed in - but the performances were solid. Not a valid Blu - but that is the way it goes I guess.

The Line, Marc Pease

Marc Pease was a boring pile of crap. The Line was ok - I would recommend it for those that love Ray Liotta or Trejo, otherwise it might get too convoluted.

Accidental Husband, Spread, Red Heat

Apparently some people out there feel Spread is some incredible film - but really it was just a soft core film for Ashton to bang away on...Accidental Husband once again shows the fire service in a completely lame film, and Red Heat turned out decent on Blu...It was so long since I had seen this that I forgot about Arnold being in the buff...again - he seemed to do that alot in the 80s.

Wings of Desire, Ugly Truth

Wings was one of the best films I have seen that no one will be watching - great Criterion. Ugly Truth was fun - Heigl looked as beautiful as ever...Gerard will keep the ladies happy.

Up, Command Performance, Hardwired

Up was outstanding - heck of a Blu deal with the 4 disc set. Command Performance was normal fare for Dolph- Blu sucked. Hardwired was a huge pile of shit. Skipper.

Paraiso Travel, Narrows, Not Forgotten

Paraiso was excellent, Narrows was very good and Not Forgotten is overrated.

Taking Pelham, Beth Cooper, Answer Man

Pelham is a great Blu, Beth Cooper sucks as a movie but has some good Blu references, Answer Man should keep you lightly entertained for the holidays.

Orphan, Maiden Heist, Stan Helsing

Orphan is a twisted flick - wow. Maiden Heist is a cute little fluff piece for fans of these guys, Stan Helsing was one of the dumbest films I have ever seen.

Transformers Revenge

The story and writing SUCKED - but it is still eye candy in so many ways. The BD is good, not great - but decent.
